Pizza is absolutely my favorite food. Growing up on the East Coast it was a staple in my diet. Friday night was pizza night. And during the Summer months, pizza was lunch...everyday! So when I found out I couldn't eat gluten (wheat) and cheese, my first thought was, "no pizza?" The year after I was diagnosed with food sensitivities, I continued to eat pizza. And I paid for it. Migraine headaches, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, vomiting...bad news bears.
For many years, I went without pizza (insert sad song here). Well, that's not entirely true. I ate "regular" pizza and umm, no need to go into further details about the outcome. I tried some gluten free pizza options, but to be honest, they tasted like cardboard. But that was years ago. The good news is that there are now several gluten free pizza options in the marketplace! For those of you with wheat intolerance, wheat allergies, or gluten sensitivity (celiac disease), one of the best resources out there is http://www.celiac.com/. Check out some gluten free pizza recipes by clicking here.
There are also several easy gluten free pizza crust products available to make your own pizza at home. Arrowhead Mills, Bob's Red Mill, and Namaste Foods are three great options.
So for all of you gluten intolerant pizza lovers out there, there's hope. Pizza does not need to be a distant memory. Nor does it have to taste like cardboard. Healthy, delicious options are available at the click of your mouse.
