Hi! I'm near Lakeside Mall--Clinton Township. Warren's just a jog down Schoenner from here :)

Mommida--do you ever go to Pine Knob Golf Course?

I don't have the patience for golf. I'm sure I would be like a Happy Gilmore if I went out on a course. ;)

I still drive into the Warren area for doctor appointments. I used to live right by Lakeside Mall. I didn't even have to take a main road to get there. I just drove through the subdivision and entered the parking lot next to McDonald's.

Hee--me neither for golf (only I'd be more like a Bill Murray).

I asked because of a past connection I have there--I did their PR when they re-opened the mansion to the public in 2006.

I know exactly where you lived--it's right up the road from me. This area has changed so drastically you might not recognise it of you've been away for long.

Do you remember "The Silo" on Hayes?

I loved the silo! I remember looking up and spinning, just to see if I could walk straight after.

I used to live on Saal rd. Remember that cow that would get loose and cause a commontion?

I drive out there for my kids Pediatrician's office. One office is on Hayes in Clinton Twp., the other office is on Hoover in Warren.

OK, If I ever have to go golfing ~ I'll only go if you come with me! :lol:

Was your peds. office on the east side of Hayes, s. of Canal, by the car wash? My SIL was a medical assistant there until a few months ago.

Our first apartment after we got married was at Ashgrove, directly across the street from the old SILO.

OK, you're on for 18 holes, but get ready to laugh. I am an eejit of the highest order. I'll probably flip the cart.

When I worked for them we spent a July 4th there on the lake off the course and watched the fireworks the owner put on. The Pat Benetar concert was going on at DTE (the back of the stage pavilion backs up to the golf course), so we got a free show and they got free fireworks. The owner even got me backstage passes to the Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks concert a few years ago. It was great fun.

PM me--let's chat.

Hopefully the anemia will resolve soon, and there will be no pica.

Interesting that you mention chocolate!!?

Have you ever seen the movie "Like water for Chocolate"? I think the sister character had Celiac. The end of the movie shows the main character eating matches. It's pretty slow, but I did laugh my tush off about the knitting for sexual frustration and the scene of this long knit piece trailing behind a moving car.

I don't travel too far out of my area. The furthest I go is to Mejiers on 16 and Van Dyke. I wish I lived closer to the areas that have a lot of gluten free friendly foods. Where is this bakery? If I ever go out that way, I might check it out.

I think the bakery you are referring to is Celiac Specialties in Chesterfield Township on Jefferson. You can get some of their products at Lifesmart Foods on Hall Rd (M-59) between Schoenner and M-53. Vince & Joe's also carries their products, but Vince & Joe's have their own gluten free baked goods that they make right there in their bakery and they are MUCH better and far less expensive (and nicer, too). There are Vince & Joe's on 25 Mile in Macomb Twsp. and on Garfield Rd. in Clinton Twsp. My daughter has eaten several of their gluten-free baked goods and has not reacted to them.

In any case, they are all well worth a trip. You can buy many products frozen, or bring them home and freeze them--they will be fine.

Also, G F Cucina's Restaurant on Mound between 16 Mile and 17 Mile roads is AWESOME!!!! They are CSA certified for their entirely gluten free menu, and the food is better than you can get at most restaurants--very reasonably priced.

**I probably sound like a Macomb County ad rep or something, but it's only because I have tried them all and am a loyal customer to those who don't poison my kid. We are truly grateful for establishments who are educating themselves to the needs of a celiac family, and who strive to maintain the stringent quality needed to make safe products. So I will give them all high marks whenever I can ;)

Thank you for that list of restaraunts and stores. I have relatives out that way, and eating out is always embarassing to bring my lunchbox. Now I want to go visit the relatives just so I can try the restaraunts and bakeries.

Anyone know of any Asian Markets around here? I haven't found any and I want cheap flour! Even a middeastern Market would be nice. I think they have special flours too.

Celiac Specialties or maybe Specialty in Chesterfield township.

They have THE BEST gluten free doughnuts! If I remember right they are 23 mile and Jefferson.

Some of the local health food stores sell the products in the frozen food sections.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
