Sterling Inn, Pa & The Grainless Baker

Hello Everyone!

I have to say I just had the greatest experience this weekend. My in-laws, husband and I just got back from South Sterling, PA (in the Poconos) and we stayed at The Sterling Inn where I was treated like royalty! We called ahead of time (after 5 other calls) and once we mentioned my diet they immediately were helpful stating that they have a bakery nearby that provides gluten-free breads, muffins and other desserts and specialties. They said they would have that available for me, plus some soy milk for me since I can't have dairy either. When dinner arrived, the waiter and the manager both knew my situation, were able to tell me what dinner items I could eat and what items they could alter for me. They brought me fresh white rice bread and I ate it while everyone else ate their wheat bread from the basket instead of staring at them like usual. I felt so special. Then they brought me a gluten-free brownie for dessert, and for breakfast they had a cinnamon roll for me while everyone else got coffee cake and they all tried my cinnamon roll and said it tasted better than the coffee cake! The best part of it all, was that they gave me the remainder of the food that wasn't consumed while we were there. So I walked away with a half loaf of bread, a small tray of brownies and the remainder 2 cinnamon rolls!

So I just couldn't wait to get home to share this awesome news and the links to the places:

www.thegrainlessbaker.com

Let me know if anyone else has stayed here, I would love to share my experience!

All smiles,

Emily

I am originally from the area you are talking about. I never stayed at the Sterling Inn, however I am a big Grainless Baker fan. I eat their sandwich bread on a daily basis, love their cookies...ok I eat too many cookies. My finace eats their cookies like there will be none the next day and he isn't Celiac. Their products are just so good. :):) I had almost given up hope on gluten free cookies until I tried some of their cookies last May.

That's great! I'm trying to see if they can find a store close to my home to sell their products.

Hey we shouldn't be limited to a number of cookies. We've had to suffer long enough. I say, "Eat away!"

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By lmemsm · Posted

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.
