Hi-

I am traveling to western MA (springfield area, possibly northampton). Is anyone aware of gluten free/gluten free friendly restaurants ( or even friendly grocery stores)?

Thanks!

Hi there are lots of places to eat in this area. There is a great thai food place called "thai garden" that is good about gluten free stuff....I get the chicken pad thai all the time and have never been sick. "Smokin Lil's" has a gluten free menu and its great bbq. "Sierra Grille is awesome and delicious and I have never had problems there - just need to ask what is gluten free etc..they are nice there. Amherst has "Butternuts" which has specific celiac menus and offers bread, beer, and all gluten free. There's a trader joes and whole foods in amherst and the Stop and shop in Noho has a decent gluten free selection. Let me know if you need any more info...I'm happy to help!

Hi Kristen & Melissa -

One small correction, Butternuts, TJ's and Whole Foods are all in Hadley, not Amherst. If you travel a little further up rte. 9 to Amherst, you will find a wonderful Chinese restaurant call Panda East. They are well educated and will happily cook for you and bring you gluten free soy sauce and the manager will visit your table while you eat to make sure you are happy. There is also a Thai place in Amherst called Thai Corner and they will also cook gluten-free for you if requested. There are lots of options here.

Sadly my daughter is so sensitive that we have stopped eating out until we get at least one round of "normal" bloodwork (which will hopefully be soon) and then we're looking forward to cautiously trying a few of these little treats again.

Enjoy your trip to our "Happy Valley"!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
