I think I live near a center on Butler but I am not sure exactly what they do.

I'm in Upper Dublin (Dresher). If you go to www.celiaccentral.org, you'll find info about the center that's based in Ambler. I've been thinking about signing up to volunteer with them since they're right nearby...

Yes, it's not too far from me. I have seen a sign on the door, it's just hidden up some stairs. If you are driving down Butler Pike, it's near the gas station on the corner. I have thought about them too. I heard they do cookouts and I think the support would be awesome.

Genuardis up in Spring house has a few gluten-free items. Mrs. Leeper's makes Hamburger Helpers Wheat and gluten-free. I feel like I live at Whole Foods. They used to have a list which showed each aisle's gluten-free items which they no longer carry. Plus, some of the items in their handbook do have wheat in them. The Energy Bars had them in it and they were on the gluten-free list so be sure to look for gluten-free. Amy's products are awesome and they say gluten-free on them which I love.

I wish Whole Foods would group all the items together. It'd be sooo much easier. I understand these products can be eaten by anyone but searching through the store gets annoying. ;)

Check out the Wegman's in Warrington if you haven't already. It's on 611 at the corner of Street Rd. That store's been a lifesaver for me. They put a "G" on all their store brands to indicate what's gluten free. Makes it really easy and cuts down on cost.

Really? Wegman's has G's on their food items? What have you found good so far?

I love Whole Foods but they can be costly. I feel like I doubled my cost of living lately on food and with 2 kids with hollow legs... I'd love more alternatives.

I love Wegman's- they just are a little further for me.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
