Around the flint area I know of 2 dr's. Neither are gi dr's. One is an allergist Gale Cookingham (allergy and intolerances) and one is a specialty clinic that is not covered under insurance.

In regards to the specialty clinic- She is a md, she has a clinic that deals with holistic medicine. Both were recommended by enterolab. The only gi dr's around here only follow the old method of celiac diagnosis.

For the ladies in the lansing area, Where do you shop at? What health food stores do you use? Where I live there is only one small one, they can order some things but they are costly. I love the personal touch since we have been shopping there since I was a little girl buying popcorn and vitamins ( he was the first in the area to sell them).

Im taking a trip to ann arbor soon to go to whole foods and Im excited to have lots of variety.

Whole Foods has some good stuff (love the pizza crust and sandwhich bread) but you might also want to go to Hillers (in Arborland). They carry a lot of Celiac Specalties items and some other major brands too.

They are litterally right down the street from each other. Whole Foods is at Washtenaw and Huron Parkway, HIller is in the ARborland mall on Washtenaw, just a bit west the US23 exit.

I am originally from Michigan, have lived on Long Island, New York now for almost 2 yrs--I love it here, but miss my Michigan family and friends. I lived in the middle of the mitten--Gratiot County, Ashley to be specific. I am going to Michigan on vacation in the next month or so. There is a great store in Lansing on the east side called Food For Life--it's on Grand River by Circuit City, I believe. Kroger stores have a fairly good gluten free area too, at least the one in St Johns does.

Thanks I'll have to check it out. I do shop at kroger and meijer's. Meijer's has quite a few cake mixes and goodies cheaper than kroger or the health food store.

I was born and raised in Clinton Township (Detroit suburb) and lived in Ann Arbor for 4 years GO BLUE! I now live in Washington DC but take trips back to MI all the time. I'll be up there mid-July and plan to hit the bakery in Royal Oak--Sugar Kisses. They have gluten-free items and vegan stuff too!

Anyone hear of a pizza place in Detroit? My sister heard Mojo in the Morning talking about it on her way to work but she couldn't really remember the name. Belicio or something... Anyone?? I miss pizza parlor pizza. :(

There was a Belcibo, but I think it closed down. I'd really recommend Guillo's Itallian in the Livonia area. Pasta, breadsticks and pizza I think. Very yummy. Kind of a nicer place, but you could bring kids too. But plan to enjoy a leisurely meal, it's not fast.

If you're coming to Ann Arbor area, Stadium Market has both regular and gluten-free pizza.

Hi....I'm from the Flint area. I lived in Durand for 11 years when I was young and stupid. We got a good deal on a house back then. I about died of boredom in Shiawassee co. It was good to move back home.

I get most of my gluten-free goodies at Meijer's Kroger's and Dale's Health foods. There are no gluten-free restaurants close to me.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
