We were out shopping and I remembered the discussion over Bostons. We went in and asked and we were told the crust is gluten free but they are baked with the other pizzas! I was so disappointed. I live in iowa and am originally from the east. I miss my pizza! Bostons is not the place.

At the Boston's I visit in McKinney, TX, they have told me that the gluten free crust is prepared away from everything else, they are cooked on separate/designated gluten free pans, and that yes, they are baked in the same oven, but not while any regular pizzas are in there.

I can see how super-sensitive types wouldn't want to take the risk. I'm not super sensitive and I have not gotten sick from eating there.

We are a sensitive bunch, but we didn't have any problems with Boston's. We really don't eat out much at all, maybe once every couple of months or so. I figure we are always taking a risk when eating out, but it's a chance we take for a splurge and a much needed night out!

I've eaten hot wings that were cookes in the pizza oven without incident. I don't know about Boston's, but most ovens are an open at both ends design and the pizzas go through on movable chain belts. I'd eat one.

I doubt if we're ever going to see a designated gluten-free pizza restaraunt.

best regards, lm

I blame the local restaurant for not explaining.. and being rude about it... after reading all of your experiences I emailed the main office and asked them..I know its not a dedicated restaurant but to hear them explain it to us... the Iowa restaurant did a wonderful scare job on me.. now I feel better.. here is the letter:

Thank you for your email. I understand the concerns you have regarding the preparation of pizza with the gluten free crust. I want to assure you that we take this specific allergy very seriously and we have taken several steps to ensure your family

      Muscle Twitching

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Biopsy results can be negative despite positive serum antibody results for these reasons: 1. Early onset of celiac disease. Inflammation has been happening for long enough to cause damage to the small bowel lining that is observable in the biopsy sample. 2. The damage is in the part of the small bowel lining below the duodenum. The duodenum is the part of the small bowel immediately below the outlet of the stomach. 3. The damage is patchy and was missed by the one doing the biopsy. A thorough biopsy would include several samples taken from different areas of the duodenum. Not all scoping is done this thoroughly, unfortunately. 4. The positive serum antibody results are caused by some other medical problem, food or medication that mimics the inflammatory reaction typical of celiac disease.
