I was very impressed with this place! Sadly I got there too late for a sub sandwich (the deli part closes at 4 PM), but we'll be coming back! It was awesome to look at a menu and know that anything was gluten-free and there was no cross contamination worries.

I think I need to move to Michigan.  I would love to open up a completely gluten free restaurant in my area but don't have the energy or patience for it right now ( or money lol).  Maybe someday ( now I hear Judy Garland singing).  Maybe I just need to follow the yellow brick road.  LOL

WOW is right next door to a Guido's pizza.  Guess what?  You can get "THE BEST" gluten free pizza ever at WOW! :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

Pizza is a very regional dish for what a person expects.  This is Midwestern goodness on a awesome gluten free crust.  (they also serve deep crust pizza) YUM

Yes, the Guido's pizza offers gluten free pizza! And they take precautions not to CC it!

He moved all the gluten free pizza making over to the WOW ovens.

 

I'm going there tomorrow!  Have to bring back pizzas for all my local gluten-free peeps.

Really??!! So that's how they prevent CC, is by making all the Guido's pizza on the WOW side? That is awesome!!

Yes. you can get the Guido's pizza gluten free, because it is made in the WOW without wheat ovens.

 

By the way the wow cookies sold on that big river on line store, are not from Without wheat in Okemos, MI

I'm going to WOW without Wheat this Sunday after the Lansing Hall of Fame Race!

 

I'm so excited to try out a sub there!

I tried out their sub and it was good, but it more closely resembled a flat bread sandwich than a sub. The wait time was rather long there.

 

What was ironic was that my sandwich was made in Guido's kitchen and not WOW's. If they go to such trouble with their pizzas and move them to the WOW ovens to bake, I'm not sure why they would make a sub in Guido's instead of WOW? The man assured me though that there was a completely dedicated prep space for subs there and they take necessary precautions against CC. Considering the signs that they put up warning people not to CC things in WOW, I believe that they know what they're doing, but it still seems strange that the sandwich wasn't made in the gluten-free bakery kitchen.

 

(WOW and Guido's function basically as one unit with a doorway connecting the two)

 

When we come back in a few months, I would like to try their pizza.

Sorry about the sandwich not being a top notch delight.  I totally love the pizza.

Everyone that stops there should encourage them to start opening chains or franchises for the rest of us.  Sounds like a great place to go!!

I talked to the owner about that.  Here's the problem, he opened the Guido's franchise first.  If he tries to break from Guido's he can't make pizza (or be in locations in the franchise areas)

 

As of right now my kids are planning on going to State, so I hope he stays put.  They will have some place to eat during their school years.  I will have some place to eat when I visit.

So, he has to make all the stuff except the gluten free pizza and the bakery goods in the Guido's kitchen?

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
