Where in Michigan are you planning on visiting?

Laura

I don't believe it!!? We had a little ice storm and school was cancelled. I spoke to different people on the phone that said the roads were fine. So does someone want to explain to me why 4 boys are ice skating up and down the street?

Well, I live in Michigan and have some information for you. I'm not sure where you plan to vacation, but the places I'd recommend are PF Changs (3 locations in Michigan), Outback Steakhouse, Carrabbas, and Fuddruckers. If you are traveling in the Lansing (Capitol) area, there is a great Lebanese restaurant called Sahara's that I go to and they are very careful about making sure my order is gluten-free. Hope this helps.

Where are you going in Michigan? If you're going "up north" or to Lake Michigan you can find lots of cottages to rent with a kitchen.

I'm in Ann Arbor. We have an Outback, Seva and I've had luck at a breakfast/lunch place called Cafe Marie. We also have a great Whole Foods, Hillers, Trader Joes and even our mainstream grocery stores have some products.

If you're in the Detroit Metro area, find Celiac Specialties. They are a 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery - going in there is like being a kid in the candy store. (They also ship items.) There's also a new store that's all gluten-free w/ pre-made items as well. I don't remember the name, but I saw it in an earlier posting on this site.

Have fun!

Celiac Specialties is at 23 Mile Road and Jefferson, in Chesterfield Township. They are now selling their products at several gluten free stores. There is a gluten free store in Livonia, and I can't remember the name. (Sorry to the store owners, I've met you and you are wonderful people, but I just can't remember the name of your store.)

Bel Cibo is in Clawson at 14 Mile and Main. Very close to I-75 and Oakland Mall.

Frankenmuth is supposed to have a gluten free bakery at Bavarian Inn. I asked my mother-in-law to check and she couldn't find it.

Canterbury Village has some gluten free baked goods That is also close to I-75 further north by Auburn Hills.

Thanks everyone for these wonderful suggestions. We are planning to go to Mackinac City and Island, Visit the Soo Locks, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and maybe Luddington for Dune Rides. I wonder about fudge on Mackinac Island. Any ideas?

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗
