Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong digestive disorder affecting children and adults. When people with CD eat foods that contain gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can affect those with CD and cause health problems. Damage can occur to the small bowel even when there are no symptoms present.

Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with celiac disease. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat and related grains rye, barley and triticale and must be eliminated.

Those affected by this disease are unable to enjoy America’s favorite food: PIZZA; unless you can find a Pizzeria that offers a Gluten Free Pizza.  The Pittsboro Pizzeria is proud to offer a delicious 10.5″ gluten free cheese pizza for only $10.95.  Additional toppings cost just .75 cents each.   Call today and try one out.
