Where To Buy gluten-free Food In Michigan

Hello, we will be going to visit my husbands family soon and I googled Whole Foods and Trader Joes (my 'go to' stores for gluten-free food) in Michigan and there are none close to Kalamazoo (where we are staying in a hotel with full kitchen so I can safely eat) and Battle Creek where my FIL is in asst living.

Can anyone tell me where I can shop in either of those towns for gluten-free food (or somewhere between the 2)?

This is the first time Ive travelled since being gluten-free, and Ive been glutenized a few times even when eating off the gluten-free menus, that I am a little nervous. I hate to pack EVERYTHING that I will need, but I will if I have to.

If anyone knows of gluten-free Bakeries in either place, I am all ears.

Thanks in advance!

      I like the Wolff's brand coarse kasha in the grocery store, but I also like the Azure Standard products (AzureStandard.com) for buckwheat, amaranth and other ingredients. The Wolff's package in my pantry is labeled "gluten free". Azure says that their packaging plant has an allergen control program but almost none of their products are labeled gluten free. I have been relying on Azure a lot for my gluten-free diet and the global outcome has been good but I never know for sure for any given product. I eat something I bought from them pretty much every day. (wish I could tell you something more definitive) Full transparency: I was diagnosed with celiac by antibody test (10x the threshold) and by biopsy, and now my antibody levels are 1/10 of the threshold, so my diet appears to be very gluten safe. However, I never had any clear acute symptoms so I never know for sure when I'm consuming gluten.

      I have been looking for brands that are ready to make areas of time as I normally hear my oatmeal 1 min in microwave every morning. It appears buckwheat requires allot of cleaning soaking longer cook times. Any eat recipes have you tried. Also what's the reason if adding lemon juice to groats? Thanks

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, If I were you I would give up the bread tossing until everything is under control for a few months straight. Then try doing it again and see if symptoms return. If you just can't give it up, try wearing a good mask, tie your hair up tight, and take other steps to reduce the possibility of crumbs sticking to you and eventually ending up in your food. Attached below is a link to a nice graphic on what 10 mg would look like and I think it would be possible to ingest enough crumbs through the air. Also keep in mind that some people are reacting even at 10 mg per day. (They describe it as 1/350th of a slice of bread.) https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/understanding-gluten-levels/

      What brand do you recommend? Thanks

      I love buckwheat groats (or kasha). I also like to add peanut butter to it. There are a bunch of these alternatives but I also recommend amaranth. It's good with fruit and/or cinnamon.
