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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
