That's the reason behind the Largo restaurant adding gluten-free pizza to the menu, a decision Sardo says is based on how he can best serve all of his diners. "A few months ago I went to a food show, and a lot of people were talking about gluten free menus," the Brooklyn native said.

The diet is a lifeline for people with celiac disease, who can't eat the protein in wheat, oats, barley, rye and many product additives.
I can't pinpoint when I first started feeling sick. In the past few months, I went from feeling not quite myself to struggling with daily pain and problems. I battled digestion problems, which worsened into severe abdominal cramps, gas, bloating and nausea. Then came headaches, chronic sinus infections, hives, extreme fatigue, skin changes and painful body aches. Brain fog felt more like mud that had been poured onto my skull.
