I live in Howell, MI and i just got an out of the blue dx of celiac disease after many different tests for stomach issues and other, I was dx with a biopsy which I understand is the best way. I am really struggling with the emotional part of eating this way and am overwhelmed with knowing what I can and can't eat.

Was just wondering if there was anyone in my area that would be interested in talking more on the subject, could offer tips and recommendations on products etc in the area and gluten-free restaurants. Also does anyone know of a support group in this area.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hi. I am in Lansing and Lansing does have a Celiac support group that meets tonight Feb 26 at 7 pm. It meets at a church in Lansing at the corner of Haag and Miller Rd. (I do not have Celiac but my 9 yr old daughter does.) Lots of good people with lots of help will be there.

I live in Ferndale and was also recently diagnosed (Feb 11). My sister lives in Howell and she mentioned that the V.G.'s in Howell have good gluten-free selections and there's a place called vitamin planet on Latson & Grand River that has several gluten-free foods. She mentioned brown-rice tortillas that I can't wait to try! The owner/manager there can help, my sister talked to him and said he was great.

Also, I don't know if you have a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's out by you but both of those stores have a wide variety of options...just be aware Whole Foods should really be called "Whole Paycheck"!

Good luck with everything! I'm happy to talk if you want, I've learned A LOT in the past month. :)

Thanks all, glad to see there are some people in my area. Do most of you belong to a support group? I am wondering if that is the one thing that will help me. Lately I have been struggling, I intentionally ate gluten the other day, feeling depressed because I recently lost my job. Now I feel awful and feel like I took a big step backward. Since dec'07 I have gone through the denial, grieving and acceptance or at least I thought.

So I am wondering if joining a support group would be the missing link to help me stay the path if you know what I mean.

I heard there was a food fair in farmington hills, and thought that would be a good 1st event to attend. As anyone gone to that?

Thanks for all your help, I had forgotten I posted in here!

I usually go. I think they charged less at the door last year.

Celiac specialties has the best donuts! This could be just what you need right now. Gluten free food that tastes good and a huge crowd of other gluten free people.

Wow it's this Saturday, April 12th 10:00 to 2:00.

      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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
