I went down to Lake Forest for work today. It was 2 pm and I was starving. I stopped by a food court type place on the corner of Trabuco and Bake Parkway. I stopped at the first place to peruse the menu on the window. The owner popped out and said "Are you hungry?" I said yes, I was starving but have food allergies. He said "what kind?" I told him gluten, then he took my hand and said come inside.

He owns two places next to each other, one a skewer/kabob place, and a pizzaria. We had a nice long chat, which ended in me having a beautiful eggplant parmesan SANDWICH. Oh it was beautiful! The bread tasted like King's Hawaiian! He has pizza, sammies, calzones, chicken parmesan, chicken fingers, jalepeno poppers..all gluten free!

Who would have guessed that I would happen upon a place like this. The owner's name is Bruce. He was previously a chef for an autistic home, and by default learned he was gluten sensitive. He takes great precautions to avoid CC. He told me that if I call ahead (2 days) he will make a full size pizza for us!

Great find! OC folks, head over there. The best part, the gluten-free prices are the same as the "regular."

6 hours later, I did not get sick!

Oh Geez, sorry Maggie, didn't realize I did not put in the name! The pizza/pasta place is called Cisero's Pizzaria, and the kabob place is called Skewers. It's on the southeast corner, in between the nail salon and the tire place. It's one of those circular food court things, and they are right in the middle of the horseshoe next to Quizno's. Enjoy!

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
