Any fellow Michigan-ders out there? Brrr.... it's too cold already isn't it?

I'm in Lansing now. Last summer was hot enough for me, so I'm enjoying this cool start!

I'm from Ortonville (between Flint & Pontiac). My son was dx'd in December '05; I've been gluten-free since Jan. and will probably challenge it next month.

My celiac son (and non-celiac daughter) will be spending a week at a camp near Traverse City. Hubby and I will probably camp nearby to be available if needed--it's such a great area for a getaway without kids!

I'm working with the camp's kitchen manager to see if there is anything he can safely eat. While they're very willing to help, it still seems like a big risk. We'll probably end up bringing most of his food for the week, but that seems like a lot to pack. It might be nice to be able to buy some of it while we're up there.

Does anybody know who carries gluten-free foods in the Traverse City area, or if there are any restaurants with gluten-free menus?

B) I am in southwest Michigan, Berrien County. Any celiacs near me to communicated with? Am contemplating a gluten-free bakery for this area. :huh: Any comments or commentaries appreciated. :rolleyes:

I'm headed to Troy/Madison Heights this coming weekend for work. Staying Friday - Monday. Any recommendations on where to eat? I'll have a car. Staying in a hotel. Breakfast always seems hard, so any suggestions on where to dine would be appreciated. I lived in A2/Ypsi for 2.5 years, and I'm sure there'd be options there, but I'd rather not drive the 45 minutes from Troy to A2 just to eat. If you want to email me directly, please do so at denverguy67@hotmail.com

Thanks.

You are going to be right by Bel Cibo, on 14 Mile and Main in Clawson. It is a gluten free store and small eatery. You can order a gluten free pizza and eat it right there.

On 16 Mile road in Troy there is Maggiono's Italian. They will prepare anything for you gluten free, they even have gluten free pasta.

You will be close to PF Chang's at the Somerset Mall also on 16 Mile (which is called Metro Parkway in that area).

You can PM me if want more information.

L.

Go to Bel Cibo's and buy some of the Celiac Specialty donuts. Not too healthy but you will think you are eating a "normal" donut. I think Chef Andrew will be more than helpful for getting any food you want.

You could actually go to Celiac Specialites bakery... I've never been but I hear it's the proverbial "kid in a gluten-free candy store" :P I have also ate at Giulios, it was very very good - almost any item on their menu can be made gluten-free and they have breadsticks :rolleyes: www.giulios.us

Bel Cibo carries some of the Celiac Specialty baked goods. Save yourself the drive, and call Bel Cibos and see if you can put an order in for some baked goods you want.

I think the drive out to Chesterfield might be too far (especially during rush hour).

Celiac Specialities is closed until Monday (I leave Monday night). So I am planning on making the trip out there during the day on Monday. But, my question is, is it worth it? It's roughly 30 minutes or so from where I'll be in Madison Heights (14 Mile/John R). Is it worth the drive for their bakery yummies? We have a place here in Denver that some people rave about and it is HIGHLY overrated. Dry muffins. Blech.

Depending on what time of day you are going to attempt the drive makes a HUGE difference. If you like glazed donuts, it's worth the drive.

I found their donuts at Hiller's Markets and YUM! They taste like regular donuts. And Bel Cibo's was great. I had this fantastic quinoa greek salad there. I will definitely go back there when I am in town. And I also had dinner in Livonia at Giuli's (I think that's the name of the Italian place). Fantastic gluten-free pasta and breadsticks.

I just read in the Detroit Free Press yesterday that Giulio's Cucina Italiana in Livonia is having a totally gluten free night featuring a 5 course meal for $23 on August 7. Not sure if it's on their web site or not. I have ate there and it was very good, I will be going back for sure!

Their website is www.giulios.us

I ate there last weekend when I was in town and it was fantastic. The best gluten-free bread and pasta I've had yet! The manager came over and talked with me (I forget his name now, but have his card at my office and even sent him a thank you note). You should talk with him and see if they'll be doing this again another night. I wish we had a restaurant like that here in Denver.

Hi, I'm originally from Allen Park. I taught school in Ortonville in 1977. Have been in Wisconsin for 20 years. I am waiting for biopsy results from skeptical GI doc. Have positive blood test results. Good luck with your son. It must be a lot for him to deal with.

Hello all from Michigan. Checking in from East Lansing here. I just went gluten-free recently, but don't have my follow-up with the GI until September. She left it up to me, but I chose gluten-free (but keep tagging myself - a term I use for "totally ate gluten!")... darn it!

Hi, I'm new to this board and new to a gluten-free lifestyle. I'm from Allen Park. Happy to see there are other people in Michigan who have this disease. I'm definitely still learning.

Hi,

I'm also from Allen Park, but I have lived in Wisconsin for 20 years. I am also new to gluten-free since last summer. Good luck, and hope you find good places to shop. This is a good place to start. Several people have mentioned places in Ann Arbor. I will want to check them out next time I visit.

I just read an article about Amici's adding a gluten free pizza to their menu. Amici's and the Living Room are located at 3249 W. 12 Mile in Berkley.

The Natural Food Patch at 221 W. Nine mile road in Ferndale have added more gluten free items for sale.

Chef Andrew was interviewed about Bel Cibo in the article. He listed how far some people have traveled to visit and Denver was mentioned. Steve in Denver, you are a bragging rights customer! :D

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
