We visit PA to visit family a lot - here a few tips I can offer for Pittsburgh - The Fairmont Hotel downtown was fabulous in feeding us in the hotel restaurant - they have a designated gluten-free menu but will make anything for you! They made pancakes and cookies for my kids and that was a real treat. They had bread too (but I don't know if they always had it or just got it because I called ahead and told them we were coming). We ate at Capital Grill (steakhouse) for dinner downtown one night and it was great. The Mandy's pizza was awesome and worth any extra driving you have to do - it is so good and it they understand cc - (be sure to go to the right location - only one location has the gluten-free pizza unless they changed that). If you are driving out to Indiana, it will be a detour, but the Truly Wize bakery (Open Original Shared Link) in Greensburg was a wonderful treat. My visit to Pittsburgh and the surrounding small towns over the summer was one of the very few trips I have taken where I wasn't glutened once - it was so much fun.

Thank you for the recommendations. I went to Spaghetti Benders and it was great. The only let down was that their pasta was too al dante even after sending it back since it was rock hard on the inside the first time, but that might just be personal preference. But the other food was wonderful (especially the garlic bread) and the service was awesome. As I hardly ever go out to eat, it was really nice to have someone else cook for me.

      Confused about test results.

      Welcome to the forum, @Nikki03! What was the other result from the other physician's lab work? The test result you report in your post is not a celiac disease diagnostic test. It is a test for IGA deficiency. It is also known as "total IGA". There are other IGA antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient...

      Question

      As I mentioned above, NCGS stands for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same GI distress symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease and is not an autoimmune condition, as is celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease...

      Question

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose. What is NCGS? And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt. For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them. Six weeks later, I still can barely...

It is a test for IGA deficiency. It is also known as "total IGA". There are other IGA antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient, their scores will be artificially low. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient so if there were other IGA antibody tests run they should be trusted as accurate unless you had been on a gluten free or reduced gluten diet before the blood sample was taken. So, if you have other test results, please post them along with (this is important) their reference ranges. Raw...

NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We actually know much more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease. The only known antidote for either is total abstinence from gluten. Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease, one of the more than 200...

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose.  What is NCGS?  And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt.  For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them.  Six weeks later, I still can barely use my hands.  I struggle to get a bottle cap unscrewed they hurt so badly.  Edema in my legs and the knees hurt to walk.  And that was probably a minor exposure as the wheat was listed towards the end of the "contains" list in very fine print we couldn't read without a magnifying glass.
