I was wondering the same thing. I was unable to go. Did anyone else go?

I went and it was three times bigger this year. Some of the new offerings were chesnut flour, 12 gluten free products, more beer (that we may never get in the state if a vendor doesn't pick them up), more bean flour product mixes, tastefully gluten free, another company I can't remember, an Asian market that offered gluten free products from their normal products, and I talian restaurant in Livonia with a new gluten free menu. The regulars were there too... Celiac specialties, Chef Andrew from Bel Cibo, and all natural beauty/personal care products, and some health food markets with extensive gluten free sections- like Life Smart Foods in Clinton Twp. (they gave out a great coupon book!)

I was really in a rush and would have liked to stay longer.

This was our first time going and we were really impressed! The vendors were great and everyone in general was so helpfull.

We really liked the vendor that was selling the microwaveable products. We picked up the chocolate cake for our son and he loved it. It's super easy too- just add water to the mix and pop it in for 1 minute. The cake was really tasty!

Unfortunately, I was in such a rush I did not get a chance to get through the crowd to that table. Could you post more information about it?

Sorry it took me so long to get back.

The vendor was Food- Tek, Inc. They have a website that lists their products www. foodtek.com

In addition to the cake in three flavors they also have cornbread, brownies, icings, bread, and waffle mix- all microwavable. The kits come with a mold to place the batter in and a measuring cup. You can also buy refill kits that just have the mix inside.

The prices are reasonable- the icings are $2.99, the cakes and brownies are $4.99, and the bread and waffle kits are $7.99.

I hope that helps.

      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.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
