Thanks :)

How about Lancaster? Any near there?

Linda-Probably your best bet, if you aren't getting any hits, is to look up the local GIG or CSA (I think GIG in general is usually better, from my personal experience) where you are going, call them, and ask them for recommendations. They would be the people to know!

Lee--

Check out this thread--Gulia lives near there, and knows a lot of gluten-free places around the Lancaster area. Also, Willow Run is very Celiac aware

I know its not Lancaster/Reading, but its a GREAT group (my mom goes sometimes to get info for me, and they are ON THE BALL!) and they might know something.

Check this out for CSA for PA:

and the celiac disease foundation does not have any groups in PA.

I hope this helps some :)

did you see the threads that jerseyangel referenced a few posts up (post #4) for lancaster? or were you looking for something closer to reading?

If you're visiting relatives in Reading and you just want to go out to dinner, Lancaster is a pretty good haul down the pike - an hour away, more if you're on the east of Reading in the Oley/Exeter area. I'd settle for something in Berks County. Not much in the way of fine dining in any case out there.

When in Reading, Charlie Brown's is where I would reccommend. It was good and had a gluten-free menu. :)

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
