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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
