I just returned from a family vacation in Lancaster, PA. We stayed at Willow Valley. The chefs were extremely knowledgeable in gluten free foods and preparations. They have a separate area in their kitchen to prepare gluten-free food. They we extremely happy to make anything you wanted. They were very happy to accommadate me. They stock gluten-free breads and pastas along with gluten-free pancake mix. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in Lancaster, PA.

That is great to know we love willow valley! We usually plan a trip to Lancaster every fall, and we always stay at Willow Valley. I have been apprehensive to go this year due to our new diagnosis of celiac but now I am excited! Thanks for the heads up!!

Willow Valley is just outside of Lancaster in Willow Street, PA. It's actually part of a huge retirement home complex and a guest "resort". It's located on 272, just south of Lancaster and only 25 minutes from the MD/PA line. It's minutes from all of the Amish attractions, Dutch Wonderland, Rockvale Square outlets, Tanger outlets, etc.

Thank you SOOOOOOO much for posting this! My grandfather lives in Willow Valley Manor and he always wants to get together for lunch and I always have to say no. Now I can finally enjoy a meal with him again without having to do it picnic style!!!

When going to Willow Valley I ate in the Family restaurant. Ask for Keith or Sahall. They made all my meals for me. They did a great job. I was really able to enjoy my first gluten-free vacation with my family.

I forgot they do have a website. It's Willowvalley.com

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
