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!

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:

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. :)

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      My gastroenterologist had me incorporate VSL#3 to help with similar issues. It can take a long time to heal. I also found adding kiwi to my diet was soothing to my stomach. For me, it was important to avoid other inflammatory foods. Dairy, corn, etc, were aggravating to my stomach. Bone broth has been another life saver for me over the years. I do know I continue to be sensitive. If I were to have dairy for two days in a row it would be like adding a log to a fire to my sensitive system. I do also have issues with acid reflux though. (Barrett's esophagus) I also stay up after eating. They say to for 3 hours but even 2 is helpful. Keep us posted on how you are. Hope you get some relief soon.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease, especially those undiagnosed for a long time, to experience lasting digestive issues even after going gluten-free. The damage caused by years of inflammation in the small intestine can sometimes lead to other conditions like delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), acid reflux, or food intolerances. Staying upright after eating can help with digestion, particularly if reflux is an issue, as lying down can exacerbate symptoms. Greasy or fatty foods can be harder to digest, especially if your digestive system is still healing or if you’ve developed sensitivities. It’s important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with a gastroenterologist, as there might be additional treatments or dietary adjustments that could help. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like your stomach needs extra care, and hearing others’ experiences can be validating. One thing you should do is look at your diet again, and be sure that it is 100% gluten-free. Choline is a supplement that may help you with your symptoms, so consider this as well. 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.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RobHicks! Actually, celiac disease damages the upper part of the small bowel rather than the stomach. It's the part of the intestine right below the stomach. Since being diagnosed, have you had a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy to check to see if there is good healing in the small bowel lining since beginning the gluten free journey? You may have something else going on besides celiac disease. From what you describe, it sounds like your stomach is not emptying properly. Have you presented this problem to a GI doc?

      Still waiting.  The Barrett's I've had for 5-6 years. The possible/probable Celiac is new this year.  Not sure why that's popped up, but there it is.
