Michigan Eastsiders?

Hello all! I am from the n. eastern suburbs of Detroit and am looking for a support group in this area. I know the tricounty group has a meeting in Farmington, but it is quite a hike from here. Is there anyone here from this area? Would you be interested in a group near R.O./Troy Beaumont or Henry Ford Macomb? I am seeking peer support for my young child.

I have two Celiac daughters - 4 and almost 8 years old. We live near Clarkston but I go to the Troy Beaumont area for appt.s pretty regularly. Keep me posted if you find more. I also know one 1st grade little girl in Clarkston with Celiac.

Hello Clarkston! So nice to hear from you. I have been looking for a place where my 8 year old daughter can talk to and interact with other children with celiac. I did find the tccsg (tricounty celiac support group), but their meetings take place at a church at 11 Mile & Farmington Rd (I am near Lakeside mall.) Their web is tccsg.com. I am going to call the hospitals I mentioned and my pediatrician and Ped. GI to see if any one knows of any groups that meet closer to us or would help/support/give meeting space for a new group. Although I am hesitant to jump off and start from scratch, I will if I need to. I believe my daughter would benefit from this, and I know I would truly enjoy an outlet with face to face conversation with other parents--advice, experience. I am already interested in hearing your story--such as what doctors you see, how you handle school functions--because our children are the same age. I will do some legwork and post back later on this. One last note, I am considering starting a team for the celiac 5 mile walk/run in May. Check out the web address above to read about it. If you are interested, let me know. My husband and neihbor (neihbor, her daughter-in-law, and grandson have celiac also) said they would walk on the team if I start it.

I was all gung hoe to start a R.O.C.K. chapter closer to us, got all the paperwork then we had job loss. If you are interested, R.O.C.K. looks very simple to start!! MIMommy, PM me if you don't mind so we can exchange info - I did join Tri-County but never made it to a meeting despite my interest because of the drive (and since let the membership lapse).

Heads up - Kyle Dine is coming to Clarkston for a show in May. He has a C.D. out for kids that is really funny and all about food allergies. One song is about being gluten free (he unterstands that celiac is not an allergy - he faces food allergies and that is what got him started). There will be one show for kids up to grade 3 and one for 4-8. Pretty exciting!

Same age kids - can't beat that!!!! Hope to meet you and yours....

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
