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

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
