I don't know of any doctor in that area, but I would recommend either going to Erie, Pittsburgh or Buffalo. I would think those larger cities would have a better selection. I basically posted to say welcome and tell you that I'm from around that area too. I haven't lived there since 1995 but grew up there and vist family several times a year. I lived in Warren County, so hello from a fellow NW PA person.

Thanks for the welcome Roda :D

I am actually in Warren county ,,being from this area, I know you understand my need for a doctor that has even a bit of knowledge about celiacs. :unsure: I am going to try to get a referral to either Pittsburgh or Erie.

Yeah, I understand. I did live back in Tidioute from May 2002 to Aug. 2003. I was living on my parents farm for that 15 months. I worked at WGH and my husband and I couldn't make ends meat there so we moved back south. My parents and brother are still there. Definately go outside Warren County to find a doctor. I have little faith in anyone around there that would know much about celiac. My neice was having some issues and went to someone there and she mentioned to them that her aunt had celiac and wanted tested. The response she got from the NP or PA was "did she get over it?" Also my parent's doctor I don't like, down plays the seriousness of celiac and is a pompus jerk. I really feel my dad is celiac as well as my brother. But that's a whole nother subject. Who knows we may know each other or know some of the same people. Warren is not that big. If you want to chat more you can pm me. I would love to talk to you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've never had an issue this side of the pond. If I'm out I drink Bulmers Cider. Sometimes draft and sometimes bottled. The draft cider lines are for Cider only.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior?  the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I am out, if I decide to drink, I usually order a cider brand that I know is gluten free.    what I’ve noticed is that a couple times when I got a draft cider, I got symptoms of being  glutened that night and the day after. This doesn’t seem to happen with all times I drink cider. I had a draft at a very clean brewery and I didn’t react from that, which is what made me start to wonder. Does anyone know if this is a possible source of getting glutened? I am like 99% sure that this is the cause and I think I’ll switch to bottle/can only from here on out, but would be interested if others experienced the same thing (or work in a bar and know how this works). Thanks!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.
