I have just found two new dine-out possibilities. The Uno's Chicago Grill on M-59 & Mound has a gluten free menu (including pizza). I called to verify--they said they just implemented this a week and a half ago.

A new restaurant just opened in Sterling Heights, MI at 17 Mile & Mound that specializes in Gluten free foods--it is called "gluten-free Cucinas". Open Original Shared Link

We haven't tried them yet, but will post an update later :ph34r:

We really enjoyed gluten-free Cucinas! We live further north and it's not that easy to get to, but we loved it.

Hi there, fellow Michigander! Keep me posted as to any other gluten-free choices around here!

You are really close to Lifemart on M-59. They have a lot of gluten free food choices and a small fresh deli. Find some of your favorites and look on line for in bulk ordering (think large book seller - web sites that sell items get flagged and show up as lame advertisement). It saves me time and money.

You can take the drive out to Celiac Specialties at 23 and Jefferson. They have the best gluten free doughnuts! :D

Did you know that Outback Steakhouse, Carrabarra's, Cheeseburger in Paradise, P.F. Chang's, (I think the restaurant chain) Bonefish Grill and Pei Wei all have gluten free menus. All on M-59 by Lakeside and in Partridge Creek shopping centers so that area is a gluten free mecca. B)

Went to GFCucinas last weekend, GREAT food. Had a big plate of Chicken Wings with home made fries, for 10 bucks. Took home Pizza and Lasagna which were great too. I'm about 2 hours north of Sterling Heights, but it was well worth the trip and I will be going back. Anybody within a 2 hour Radius of the Detroit area should make the trip, you won't regret it.

A+++

I also want to mention that I was there at about 2:30 on a Saturday, and there were a good 8 people that came and went as I was there. I figured at such a restaurant it was very possible I would be the only one there at the time I went. Sooooo Happy to see them doing good business, hopefully they keep it up!

We just took the family to G F Cucina's for dinner for the first time...two thumbs up!! Two adults and one celiac child had an excellent gluten-free meal for about $30, including entrees, breadstix, beverages, and dessert. I have to say, the pizza was top notch--fresh cheese, great sauce, thin crust. Like a gourmet pizza! The "Cucina sticks" were very good, light and well seasoned--the perfect side to pizza. We also tried the chicken tenders w/homemade fries--my husband and daughter loved these. We finished off with two shared desserts, just for research and experimentation,of course ;) The coffee cake was tasty and moist, and the blueberry cheesecake was like a forkful of heaven. The meal we were served definitely stands on it's own as an excellent gourmet dining option.

When we arrived we were welcomed with friendly smiles and open arms by the owners. "Mary" is a fellow gluten-free and went way out of her way to please our little girl. "Chef" (sorry, didn't catch his name) was a real pro and had a big smile for every customer (and there were quite few when we went.) He took the time to give informational brochures form the Celiac Disease Foundation (which they keep in a display near the door) and went over the menu with us and the other customers as they came in. He also gave us a very in-depth press release stating that "Cucina's" has joined the CSA Recognition Seal Program, which means that they have provided proof of all ingredients and procedures certifying them as gluten free, so no cc worries.

All in all,an excellent worry free dining experience was enjoyed there tonight and we will definitely be back for more tempting treats--especially since they gave us a "buy 10 meals, get 1 free" card. I'm a busy mom and just having an option was nice, but added to it the gourmet food and worry free prep and we got ourselves a winner!

I am lucky I live close to gluten-free Cucina's. Everything that I have tried has been wonderful. The best part is not worrying about CC when you eat there. It has become my favorite restaurant.

UPDATE! gluten-free Cucina's sells some of their entrees frozen/uncooked to take home from the restaurant but for those in mid-Michigan they are now selling them in the freezer section at Hiller's Market in East Lansing. He is also trying to get Vince & Joe's Market to carry them.

      Welcome to the forum, @wellthatsfun! Count your blessings that you were diagnosed so young.  Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper!  Some of us old farts went undiagnosed for a long time and we're a bit more life worn, but there's a wealth of wisdom here.   Do know that many people go through a period of grief after diagnosis that's normal.  Look into the five stages of grief.  You'll adjust, but for now, venting is understandable.    Sending {{{hugs}}}

      It's on this site.  Click in my name.  Look for the pull down menu that says "Activities" and chose "blog".  Oh, there's the link!     You can send personal messages through this site, too, if you like.

      It's part of the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  Yes, I lost weight, too.  We can use up our B vitamins quickly when we're ill.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost.  Supplementing can help ensure we're getting the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to function well.  Many vitamins can be low in the newly diagnosed.  Vitamin D can also be low.  Minerals like iron and magnesium can be low, too.  You'll feel better once you restore the nutrients.
