Hello! My name is Kimberly and I am the coordinator for the new Michigan Chapter of R.O.C.K (Raising Our Celiac Kids). I have put together a really fun day for children on a gluten-free diet and hope to see as many smiling faces as possible come out and have fun and make new friends. Here are the details:

Raising Our Celiac Kids

Invites you to attend a Gluten-Free

potluck picnic party for kids!

Bring the entire family!

We'll have lunch, sample gluten free products, talk about the challenges and rewards we're facing, enjoy the lake view and have a great time together!

Please bring your own drinks and a gluten free dish to pass.

(and copies of the recipe, if possible)

Last names starting with: A-F = main course

G-S = 'side dish' or appetizer

T-Z = dessert

When: Saturday, September 8th (12:00-4:00)

In response to some questions I have received from those that do not live in eastern Michigan near the picnic location:

Brandenburg is a beautiful park right on Lake St. Clair. There is a lot of play equipment for the children. There is also a very nice pier that you can fish off of, so you are welcome to bring fishing gear. I rented the enclosed building, so if it rains...come anyway! The park is also located right down the road from Celiac Specialties - the 100% gluten free bakery. They are open until 1:00 on Saturdays...so that would also be a benefit of making the trip over if you are not in the immediate area. I would recommend looking at their website (celiacspecialties.com) and preoder all of your items so that you can be sure to get what you want. I'm excited for all of the children to meet and make new friends with others that are on the gluten-free diet. I am Celiac and so are my two daughters as well as my Dad and brother. We have been on the gluten-free diet for 4 years. Take care!

HI and Congrats for starting a new group. I am starting a Cel-Kids group here in Lansing, MI. If I were closer, I'd come over.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
