Hello, I am new to the forum and have been diagnosed with celiac for about 2 years by my family doctor. I am looking for a specialist in the Pgh area. Does anyone know of one? Please help!

A recently diagnosed (officially) celiac friend of mine likes a group at Allegheny General Hospital. I can't find their name right now--I just called my friend and asked her to email it. I'll post it as soon as she does. In the meantime, you could try the general info # at AGH--I think it's (412) 359-3131--annd ask for the celiac clinic. It's not called that, it's called something else, but once a week they see only celiac patients.

In the meantime, I have an appointment already set up with a rheumatologist (Tyma at Allegheny North Arthritis Center) that my endocrinologist recommended, as I also have Hashimoto's and a number of other immune system quirks. She thinks it's important to see someone skilled in immunolog, and, though I haven't yet been officially diagnosed with celiac, she thought that my extremely high IgG pointed to it pretty clearly, so I'm off gluten! Anyway, the first available new patient apointments there are in June, unless someone has a cancellation earlier.

Good luck!
