HI, I am going scrapbooking at a friends this weekend and saw on the net there are a LOT of gluten-free places. What do you reccomend to eat and where?

You might be interested in Canterbury village. I was just at the banquet hall Friday night and had a gluten free meal. One of the bakeries there is knowledgeable about gluten free too. Open Original Shared Link There is a Whole Foods Market in the northern Rochester area. I will try and think of more places. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. If you like the area, I know of another Srapbooking event too.

Dear Nicole,

There is also a Whole Foods and Good Food Company on Maple Road in Troy. In Clawson on 14 Mile Road, there is Bel Cibo, a small restaurant/store. Their pizza is good (you can sit down and eat it there if you wish) and they have various specials. Bonefish Grill, Carrabba's, Outback Steakhouse and P.F. Chang's all have a gluten free menu. Noodles and Company can make you rice noodles (they will use a clean saute pan) with stir fry veggies, gluten-free sauce, and will add a chicken breast if you like. Also, Celiac Specialties has a bakery in Chesterfield Township. Hopes this helps.

Laura,

Thanks for the tip on Canterbury Village. I was not aware of it. I have eaten there in the past (before I was diagnosied) and the food was good.

I'm jealous - a weekend scrapbooking, sounds like heaven :rolleyes:

If you're near Livonia, check out Giulios (www.giulios.us) the past and breadsticks are fantastic! They totally understand and go out of their way to make sure you have a good meal. I will say it's a little slow, but if you go planning to have a nice relaxing dinner you will definitely enjoy yourself!

ditto to the reference's above. I was in Troy this Summer for work and I checked out Bel Cibo's. The food there looked amazing - HUGE burritos (made from rice paper wraps). I had the quinoa greek salad and scarfed it down it was so good. That was in July and I am still writing the chef and begging for the recipe.

There's a PF Changs (or as I call it, the Chang Chang Man) in Somerset Mall, which is close to Troy. I drove to Livonia one night for dinner for the Italian place mentioned here. THe staff was great, and the manager came over and talked with me. He even heated up extra breadsticks for me. And there is nothing wrong with a slow relaxing meal. I was by myself and took my book, had a glass of wine and just relaxed and wasn't rushed at all.

Safe travels. Don't stress. Just know there are options, and there's always this board for help.

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
