There is a great bakery in Northeastern PA, which has to die for baked goods. They do mail orders too.

The name of the company is The Grainless Baker.

You may be able to get their products in a store near you as well. I am from Central PA so I am not sure of actual stores in your area. I do use grainless baker products alot and they are wonderful.

i'm from pittsburgh too,

there is a store called gluuteny which just opened up i believe this past weekend its in squirrel hill.

i havent gone there yet, but i do believe they have a website.

for food i usually go to whole foods and for flours i go to the chinese shop right across the street from wholey's. they got white rice flour, tapioca flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and other stuff too. the flours are well priced at 59 cents for one pound bag.

i need to find a place that sells redbridge in pittsburgh for friday, ozzfest, as i am not paying six dollars a beer at store. if anyone knows where to buy this please point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

peace,

jdog

jdog,

I live in the north hills. We buy Redbridge from McTeigh's on Route 8 in the Glenshaw area. My husband made a deal with the owner there who now stocks a couple cases, and we agreed to buy from him instead of pay $4 more a case from Save On Beer on McKnight road. (I think we pay $24 a case, but I could be wrong. My dh usually picks it up.)

Anyway, they always have it in stock now.

Hope this helps. Enjoy the show!

For gluten-free flours, I go to Lotus (Asian grocery) in the Strip. Super-fine white rice flour (the only kind they have!), tapioca starch, potato starch are each 69 cents for a 1-pound bag. They have cornstarch here in 1/2-pound bags, too--stays fresher than in the cardboard boxes in Giant Eagle.

Here in Central Pa there is a bakery called Gluten Free 4 Me which makes to die for food, and they do ship. The website is at:

www.glutenfree4me.com

The baker is a mom of several celiacs who started the business and they are soon moving to a much bigger facility, it's been so successful. Those of you traveling to State College for football season also should know that right out on E. College, as you come past the 322 exchange/bypass, is Nature's Pantry, which carries a huge selection of gluten-free stuff

Hi!

I'm newly gluten-free, and really appreciate all the info. on this thread for Celiacs in Pittsburgh and beyond.

I am an East-End girl, but have yet to try out the new bakery in Squirrel Hill (shameful, in that I work two blocks away!).

Does anyone know of any other restaurants besides the Bravos in Mt. Lebo that has any gluten-free menu items?

Thank you much in advance!

(I got gluten'd this evening. Blargh.)

Did Gluuteny open yet? Every time I go past, it looks like no work has been done. Eat N Park has a gluten free list on the back of its regular menu (explain to the server though....mine brought crackers with my soup) and Qdoba has a fairly comprehensive gluten-free list in their allergen handout. (naked veggie burrito!)

Also, a restaurant has just opened near my house (Spanish/International/Tapas). I haven't been there, but a gluten intolerant co-worker has, and loved it. Costa del Sol in Shadyside. It's a little pricey, but has a large tapas selection with lots of fresh (wheatless!) ingredients. They have a menu posted outside.

Hi

I'm from Butler but shop in Pgh often. Glutteny is or was supposed to open at the end of Aug 07. I haven't been down for a month so I'm not sure...

Have you tried Bravo at the galleria, Mt. Lebanon? I really enjoyed the gluten-free food...

Are you new to celiacs?? I do some mentoring if you need any help....

I called 1-800-FREE-411 and got the number for Gluuteny (which I left at work--sorry!), and called them. They have are waiting on red-tape stuff from the city of Pittsburgh, according to their answering machine, and hope to open very soon.

I can't wait!!!

I stopped by Gluuteny today thinking they would be open.... As you say, prob another two weeks. But the place is still a mess!

And I don't know that I'd trust Eat 'N Park. When we eat out we do Bravo's (Mt Lebo, don't like the waterfront), McCormick and Schmidt (not too often!), PFChangs, Chipotle, or Mitchell's (waterfront -- Mt Lebo messed me up).

Eat N Park has some basics....nothing very exciting. A few omelets, grilled chicken, chicken and portobella salad, some fish. My friends and I liked to go there for coffe, studying, late-night snacks....and we still do occasionally. Not a great selection, but it's nice to have a few safe options instead of just watching them eat. I've been there twice since going gluten-free, and they haven't glutened me yet.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
