Does anyone know of a good celiac doctor in Pittsburgh or surrounding areas. I currently have one that was recommended but he is not familiar with the neuro issues resulting from celiac. To make matters worse, the neuro I go to at UPMC is not familiar with celiac. I NEED help and welcome any recommendations. Will travel, will consider a naturopathic, just want relief from daily migraines, brainfog,fatigue etc. Thanks

Hello, I just wanted to let you know there is a wonderful one near downtown Pittsburgh, who knows a great amount and is especially kind and understanding. His name is Dr. Colatrella and he's in the Pittsburgh Gastro Assiociation.

Welcome Pittsburgers.

Three Rivers Endo in Moon Twp is another practice. 412-262-1000. One of the nurses is celiac. This group puts on a seminar every year. Sorry we just did it on Oct 17th...

I'm the founder of a gluten-free ministry in Butler, Pa. We have a wonderful group . I have been mentoring for years so if I can help you just ask. I meet with newbies several times a week. Doctors often refer their patients to me after the dx's. We also have a mini coop for purchasing gluten-free foods.

I also do test marketing for new gluten-free products. I only buy & eat the best of the best ....I can give you a heads up on whats worth buying & whats not. mainstream products & so on.

We are having a gluten-free dining experience on NOv 8th at 3:30 at Ferrara's in Sharon, pa. Several from the moon Twp area are attending , some from the Canton, Ohio GIG & a few from other places . Would you like to join us? Here is the info:

Many have asked that we get together before the snow begins to fly. How about November 8th, (Sunday) at 3:30 sharp we can meet for a

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure...

      Chili's Gluten-Free Dining Experience – What’s Your Take?

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I ea...

It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
