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:

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!"

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
