Does anyone know of a good celiac doctor in Pittsburgh or surrounding areas. I currently have one that was recommended but he is not familiar with the neuro issues resulting from celiac. To make matters worse, the neuro I go to at UPMC is not familiar with celiac. I NEED help and welcome any recommendations. Will travel, will consider a naturopathic, just want relief from daily migraines, brainfog,fatigue etc. Thanks

Hello, I just wanted to let you know there is a wonderful one near downtown Pittsburgh, who knows a great amount and is especially kind and understanding. His name is Dr. Colatrella and he's in the Pittsburgh Gastro Assiociation.

Welcome Pittsburgers.

Three Rivers Endo in Moon Twp is another practice. 412-262-1000. One of the nurses is celiac. This group puts on a seminar every year. Sorry we just did it on Oct 17th...

I'm the founder of a gluten-free ministry in Butler, Pa. We have a wonderful group . I have been mentoring for years so if I can help you just ask. I meet with newbies several times a week. Doctors often refer their patients to me after the dx's. We also have a mini coop for purchasing gluten-free foods.

I also do test marketing for new gluten-free products. I only buy & eat the best of the best ....I can give you a heads up on whats worth buying & whats not. mainstream products & so on.

We are having a gluten-free dining experience on NOv 8th at 3:30 at Ferrara's in Sharon, pa. Several from the moon Twp area are attending , some from the Canton, Ohio GIG & a few from other places . Would you like to join us? Here is the info:

Many have asked that we get together before the snow begins to fly. How about November 8th, (Sunday) at 3:30 sharp we can meet for a

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
