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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
