Sue Seward replied to Chad Hines's discussion Domino's To Offer "Almost" Gluten-Free Pizza"Ditto on the Gluten Free that this is not really GFREE.

Tracie McClelland replied to Chad Hines's discussion Domino's To Offer Gluten-Free Pizza"Dominos, thanks for the tease. We still won't try because it's pointless and risky.

J. "Dino" Knight replied to Chad Hines's discussion Domino's To Offer Gluten-Free Pizza"They probably should have just said that they made a crust without gluten containing ingredients instead of calling it gluten free.

- About Me
- I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when I was just 7 years old! I was extremely sick as a child and wound up visiting a seemingly infinite number of doctors, until I was finally diagnosed with Celiac in 1989.
I experienced all the ups and downs of living gluten-free as I went through middle-school, high school and then college. I played basketball and water polo in high school and I also was the lead guitar player in a band that released a few CD's (music is one of my biggest passions!). We never quite made it big, but did get the chance to play at some big venues in Southern California!
I attended the University of Southern California for college, where I majored in Policy, Planning and Development and minored in Business. Today, I am president of an insurance agency and also consult with small businesses to show them how to increase their sales and outperform their competition by using unusual, but proven marketing techniques. Marketing is more of a hobby than a job for me and I enjoy helping other small businesses and entrepreneurs reach their full potential!
In addition, I am the co-founder of Gluten-Free Saver (http://glutenfreesaver,com), which is a group buying site, similar to Groupon and Living Social, that's customized for the gluten-free community.
I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Celiac Disease Foundation (http://www.Celiac.org) and help the CDF raise Celiac awareness in any way that I can.
After starting a few gluten-free and Celiac websites and blogs after graduating college in 2005, I began to understand the frustration and confusion that happens upon being diagnosed with Celiac. In addition, I saw the many questions that individuals have when they are first diagnosed. Therefore, I wanted to create an online community where gluten-free individuals from around the world could gather to ask questions and share information, stories and recipes with one another!
That's how Gluten-Free Faces got started and I hope that you find it to be a welcoming online community and a great resource for gluten-free information, recipes, product reviews and news.
