Rustico-alexandria, Virginia

We had a wonderful evening at Rustico this weekend. Open Original Shared Link They serve gluten free pizza in Alexandria, Virginia (outside of Washington, DC)

They are fully aware of cross-contamination issues-I discussed it with the manager before we went.

All of their pizzas can be ordered with a gluten free crust (chickpea). It even says it on the menu!

We had their stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. We ordered two pizzas...the pepperoni and the fresh mozzarella/basil. Both were delicious. I hadn't eaten a pizza at a restaurant in over 3 years. It was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!! Flourless chocolate cake for dessert.

The wait staff was very knowledgable and attentive to the gluten free needs. I had a couple questions about ingredients and preparation. I asked the reason why they have the gluten-free options and she said their customers had requested it, so their chef came up with a crust.

An absolutely great, great, great, great evening. I'm extremely sensitive and didn't get sick, so they were very, very careful. We were both truly impressed (a gluten eating and a non-gluten eating person both enjoyed the pizza!) I highly recommend it.

I have really wanted to go try! Did you ask them to cook in a special part of their oven? How did they prepare it?

It all sounds great, Laura :D

I'm so glad you were able to go out and eat pizza again!

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
