This is a good time for birds in Delaware. I spent most of the day in Bombay Hook NWR. It was a bit windy but there were still lots of birds. There are lots of good birding locations up and down the Delaware coast.

We enjoy the Lancaster, Pa. area. Very scenic, good antique area, lots of nice little country shops. Nearby is Hershey, Pa. If you like outlet shopping, there's plenty of that, too. Live entertainment, tours of Amish country, etc.

Well the two places are so different, I go to Boston about once or twice a month at least (I'm on Cape Cod) and I went to college and lived right in town for 20 years... and I'm not tired of it yet. Its a fun city with lots of things to do, from shopping, art musems and galleries, science, aquarium, children's museums, tons of historical stuff, of course a bunch of touristy stuff (duck boats, harbor boat rides, walking tours) we have a few really nice big parks in the city (Espanade, public garden, Boston Common) and small pocket parks all throughout the city. We have great eating... cheap, mid and very expensive, plus the North End (Italian), Chinatown, because of all the colleges directly in the city we have virtually every type of ethnic dining you can imagine and great people watching.

Its a smallish city but still I'd come armed with a plan, I travel a lot and I've found when visiting cities if I arrive without a general plan of what I want to do I wander around and miss a lot of stuff.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
