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!! :)

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
