We are traveling to East Lansing Michigan and are wondering if anyone knows of a good grocery store to find gluten-free products. We really like Glutino products and will have a kitchen in our hotel room. Thanks for your help!!

Kroger stores in Michigan have a nice section of gluten free items, as I would imagine probably Meijers do too. There is a great store in East Lansing/Okemos called Foods for Life and they carry a lot of gluten free items. It's on Grand River, pass the college and out near Best Buy. The store is on the south /right side of the street when heading east. There is a Circuit City in the same parking area. I live on Long Island now and can't remember exactly how far it is, but I know it is still there, my sister goes to it.

Meijers stores have a great dry goods gluten free selection. They don't carry any refrigerated/frozen bread or waffles, but they do carry the gluten-free "snack" foods, bread mixes, cereals, etc. in the "Healthy Living" section of the store.

There is a Foods For Living Health food store at 2655 E Grand River (go east towards Okemos from East Lansing. There is a Better Health food store at 305 N. Clippert (across from Sears). There is also a bakery that does gluten-free baking called A Piece O Cake at 4966 Northwind Drive. (I believe the owner has Celiac). Meijer has a healthy food section also where you can find gluten-free foods.

I don't know if it is located in a convenient spot for your travels. The owner I spoke to is Celiac herself and could help you find locals gluten free selections.

Better Health in Lansing on w. Saginaw and Better Health in East Lansing are also great options to get food.

Foods for living is where I shop in east lansing too.

If you do decide to eat out there are a few restaurants there I eat at. Cheeseburger in paradise, carraba's, pf changs and outback steakhouse have gluten-free menus and are near there.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      We have a category of articles on this topic if you really want to dive into it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
