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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
