Hi all ~ I am SO excited! Denis, from Picazzo's, called me today and is going to use me as his guinea pig! :) His gluten-free pizzas are ready to be tested on the gluten-free public nationwide. He is sending me some today, and I will let you know tomorrow how they arrived, cooked up and tasted!!! :P I am thrilled!! If they taste as good as they look and sound, we will all have a new place to order yummies from. :D

*** Party at my house tomorrow!!! ***

YAY! That would mean I don't have to make my friend in Az drive all the way to Cali with a pizza in his car. He was gonna do it next time he came out, but this would be so much easier.

YAY!

I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever wished to volunteer as a guinea pig.

Post some pics of them if you can...please? :D At least we can use our sense of sight on that, and let our imaginations fill in the rest. Boy, sure is a large gap to fill...

Well I can't speak for their frozen entrees but I can tell you that I work a 1/2 mile from Picazzo's in Tempe, AZ and I eat it ALL of the time; their pizza, garlic cheese bread, salads, etc are ALL wonderful and gluten-free. I eat there at LEAST once a week...in fact, their leftovers are my dinner tonight:)

Hopefully, my beloved Buckeyes will get to play in the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe this year...

If they do, I will eat at Picazzos' as much as possible :)

Hey, I'm actually considering moving to AZ by next spring. I'm looking for as much info as I can to better prepare myself. I'm talking weather, apartments, recreation, the night life, etc....any good jobs out there with great companies? What's the rent like? If anyone has any info please feel free to email me!

Thanks!

Well, I made the pizzas on Sunday ~ they were really good!!! They arrived partially thawed, so I had to freeze them again. They cooked up really nice and tasted really good!! Sorry I don't have a pic... I didn't read the request for one until today. Sorry!!! They looked like "real" pizza. I am curious to know what they are going to cost to buy and ship. I will post on here as soon as I find out. My non-celiac family thought they were a little chewy, but I thought they were heaven!! :)

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.

      Thanks again everyone! Twenty mins on here way more helpful than both Dr's combined 😅

      I would go for four weeks to ensure a valid test, if you can tolerate it, that is.
