My sister who is 19, she lives in Wilkes-barre, well more of Nanticoke/Alden. She isn't right in the city. She really likes it there. My family actually lives north of Scranton, in Susquehanna county. No one ever heard of it when I say it so I usually just say Scranton.

Both the Valley and Scranton have Wegmans and that is a nice place for Celiacs. You can get a lot of mainstream products under their brand name which are labeled gluten free. They also have a gluten-free section in the Nature's marketplace. I love that store.

Outback Steakhouse, has a gluten free menu. I reccomend the Alice Springs Chicken, very good. The Minoka Pastry shop...off I-81 Montage Mt/Davis St has the Grainless baker products, they are also good. Bread Wise, cookie wise, they help alot.

If you need any other help just PM me. I have been doing this a few years now.

I've been basically living at Wegman's lately...

Are you talking about the Minoka bakery? My boyfriend said he noticed a sign that said gluten free in the window there. I was wondering if it's the same place. It's on the way down to the birney plaza.

If not the same one your talking about I'll have to find the one you are.

      Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?

      By CelluloseSick · Posted

      Thanks Scott. its been a tough journey. i haven’t been able to take any painkillers for pain, because they all contain some form of cellulose. I’m finally working with a compounding pharmacist to get compounded Ibuprofen w/o cellulose filler … I’ll let you know how that works out. when I tell doctors about my problems with cellulose and medications, sadly they really don’t understand the magnitude of the problem. My reason for responding to the original post was to let others know they’re not crazy - and there’s such a thing as cellulose intolerance. Thank you so much for your response.

      Hello @CelluloseSick, it sounds like you’ve been through a really challenging journey trying to pinpoint and avoid cellulose fillers in medications. Severe migraines and liquid diarrhea, especially with Ulcerative Colitis, must make this an incredibly difficult issue to manage. It’s frustrating how hidden these ingredients can be, and it definitely takes a lot of detective work to connect the dots. While true cellulose allergies or intolerances don’t seem to be well-documented, some people do report digestive issues, headaches, or other symptoms when exposed to cellulose-based fillers. Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear statistic on what percentage of the population suffers from this, but anecdotal evidence suggests that you are not alone. Have you found any specific resources or medical professionals who acknowledge this issue? It’s great that you’ve been able to find compounded medications with sucrose fillers—hopefully, that continues to work for you!

      Btw, I recently switched from Compounded T3/T4 ( which had cellulose in it, unbeknown to me) and was making me sick to a brand called NP Thyroid. No cellulose filler

      So happy to have found this Post. ive been struggling with cellulose fillers in meds for years. When I found out, I looked for meds that do not contain cellulose filler or have had to get compounded meds made with sucrose filler. My reactions are:  severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure what percentage of the population suffer from such allergy. you'd have to be a pretty good sleuth to find this and make the connections. Bravo for you!   anyone know what percentage of population suffers from cellulose intolerance? thanks?

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).
