From the celiac.com list.....

Guest GFLisa0405

Wow thanks! Do any of you go to support groups? What are they like? Hey another Chippewa! What'd you major in?

celiac3270 Collaborator

Nope, I don't go to any of those... I live in New York City, lol :lol: . Just got the list off this site...

Oh! Oops, you mean support groups in general :) ...I haven't. I like these online ones and most of them aren't in Manhattan--they're in some other borough, often Long Island. I thought about it in the beginning, but found this board to be a more valuable resource ;)

I went to some support groups a few times when I was younger w/ my mom. THey were actually in michigan too! I think they helped me as a kid because it was the first time I saw other people like me. We didn't have the internet back then and stuff like that. I think they help because you get to talk to people and get stories about how they handle things and what they do. But as celiac3270 said, this online thing is kinda just the same. But I encourage you to go though. They may be different by now, I went when I was about 12 and now i'm 23 so i'm sure they have changed, You are from the south east, the Tri County Group down there does a lot of stuff. They even have a website www.tccsg.com. Actually on the 30th of april they are having a food fair. Anyways hope this helps.

Hello! I am new to this also, and I too live in Michigan! I am in the Thumb area on the sunrise side! Thanks Dave for the Tri-County info site. Looks like I am a day late for the Food Fair. I am sure there will be more! I look forward to chatting with you all! Have a great Monday!...... Niccole.

I went to the gluten-free food fair on Saturday.

Whole Foods market was there with samples of the gluten-free bakery items. They were great! The products are in the store available this week!

If anyone wants doughnuts, I suggest Celiac Specialties in Chesterfield, Mi. If you live downriver, Celiac Products www.celiacproducts.net they are in Wyandotte, Mi. The store is opening this week, no specific date was given. They are going to carry Celiac specialty bakery products and they are very nice people to talk to.

There were to chefs that would cater special events. One was selling special spice blends. One was offering in home services. He will come into your house and prepare meals in advance for you.

Bean flour and bean flour products were everywhere.

The gluten free beer was great! Never realized I missed til I tasted it.

I had a nice time. They were a lot of knowledgeable people there. I even got to see a Detroit sports icon there too.

:unsure: My doctor told me there is a support group here in SE Michigan, but I forgot which city it was in. Today is the first day I am on the diet. From what I see so far, this is a great site.

I've started a tiny support group in Ann Arbor. You can find it at

Wow--look at all of you from Michigan. Michigan is where I was born and raised. I also raised my children there and my grandkids are growing up there. I live on Long Island New York now and love it. My sister is a member of the Lansing area celiac group. I have gone to a celiac group here---Suffolk County Celiacs. The meetings are nice, but it's always about tasting foods and they meet often at restuarants and I just dont enjoy it. There are so many things I cant have now. We had gluten-free pizza and gluten-free choc cake one night and I was so sick in the morning, I almost missed work. I dont enjoy that--so, I normally dont go. I did attend the night that Dr. Peter Green from Columbia U came and that was very interesting. Deb

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
    • deanna1ynne
      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
