Hi, I'm Beth and I'm 15 yrs old I'm new to the forms and celiac. Today is the first day that I am going gluten-free. I tested postitve on my blood test. Is anyone from Michigan? It would be really cool to meet another celiac in Michigan. Is vinegar ok to have? Like in ketchup and things?

Thanks,

Beth

Hi, Beth. I'm 26 and I'm in SE Michigan. What area are you in? I'm self-diagnosed (HATE my doctor) and I've only been gluten-free about 2 months myself, so I'm still learning. Glad to meet you. I believe *most* vinegars are ok. Malt vinegars are not ok.

The Delphi List has these Heinz condiments as gluten-free:

Heinz (Heinz) (800-255-5750) (www.heinz.com) (ve=03/24/04)

KETCHUP: Ketcup, Kick’rs (Hot & Spicy)

VINEGAR: Distilled White Vinegar, Red Wine Vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar (NOTE: Apple Cider FLAVORED Vinegar is NOT gluten-free)

EZ MARINADER: Mr. Yoshida Teriyaki only

There are a lot of us from Mi. I'm a little further north than the Palace. We have been finding more diagnosed Celiacs every where we go. The lady at the party store, people at my husband's work, people at church and school there's Celiacs every where.

A nice place for you to start if it's close enough for you, is Belcibo. www.belcibo.com it is in Clawson, very close to Oakland Mall (I-75). Celiac Specialties in Chesterfield has the best doughnuts. Belcibo sells a limited supply of the doughnuts at their store. There is a Celiac store in Lovonia. I can't remember the name right now, but the owners are fantastic.

I'm from Algonac, but I figured unless you were from nearby you wouldn't know where that was. :P I work out in Shelby Twp. I went to Celiac Specialties in C'field for the first time this week. It was good. I had a piece of banana cake and my son had "bread pudding" made from cut up donuts covered in chocolate. His was too sweet for me. :) I also bought some boxed pasta. They sell dry mixes, boxed mixes, candy, cereal, spices, and pastas in addition to their prepared baked goods. Their hours are kind of strange is all. I think they closed at 2 or 2:30 almost every day. I REALLY want to go to Belcibo!

Meijer has a good gluten-free selection and you can get a list of their gluten-free products online. Kroger has an ok selection in their Nature's Market section. The best bread I've found around here is Trader Joe's Ryless Rye. It's soo good!

The bread mixes I like are the Chebe bread (better for people with more sensitivities) and Manna from Anna ( had to adjust to the bean flour though ) :rolleyes:

Hi! I'm in Ann Arbor. I've been gluten-free and DF since August, and really feel amazing. The diet looks overwhelming at first, but now it's a piece of gluten-free cake :P

How soon after going gluten-free did it take before you started to feel better?

It was probably a couple weeks, but I distinctly remember the day I was driving to work and singing out loud and suddently it hit me "man, this is what it feels like to WANT to get up and go to work"!

There are lots of up and downs, don't get discouraged. Keep your diet simple. Check ALL your products - not just food, but lotions, make-up, etc. Find a group member called Nimi (or Nini?) she has a newbie kit that's supposed to be great.

Another Ann Arborite. It took a couple of weeks to feel better but a good two years to get to the point where I felt completely healthy. It takes time.

i have a dietary specialist and she told me that the only vinegar thats ok it heinz's brand. the heinz white wine vinegar. also ive heard of some people getting sick form other brands of ketchup, so i stick with Heinz. French's mustard is the safe brand for mustard. it took me about 3 months to become familiar with celiac, and about 6 before i felt better every day. one day when i went to my doctor, i walked in and said "so this is what its like to be normal, your not supposed to be sick everyday!"

I'm from Michigan as well! I don't like being the bearer of bad news...but the wonderful Belcibo has closed. It's very unfortunate, as it was a Celiac's paradise.

Girl Ninja...do you work out at Lifetime? That's were I go...great gym:).

dont cheat!! itll make it that much harder for you to adjust, anyway, my biggest suggestion is start reading labels!!! b/c some brands of foods are gluten-free but other brands are not. also, while I am not celiac, my mom is. Last summer she lost all the reflexes in her legs and she started choking on fod b/c she couldnt swallow. Doctors said she would be in a wheelcahir with a feeding tube within 6 months to a year!! Major scary!!!!! Her doctor said she had MS, but the tests came back negative. so her GI doctor suggested a gluten-free diet, and with in a week she started feeling better, and now 13 months later she has almost recovered 100%.

Good luck and many prayers!!

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and here is an older article on this topic:

      Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      She should be tested for 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level.  Most newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease are disturbingly low.  Malabsorption syndrome causes poor dietary absorption of vitamin D orally and super high sunscreens block skin production.  Hypervitminosis D which nearly every article written warns of, is a very rare disease. Many these days drink bottled water so do not get the benefit of floridation.  I had lots of cavities as a kid and when they floridated the water I stopped getting cavities.  Of course in those days all we had for sunscreen was baby oil and that "don't be a paleface" stuff, so we actually got vitamin D from the sun.  Celiac Disease uses a lot of vitamin D to control the immune system response to gluten, but we don't get enough. Iodine can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and may be more effective when used in combination with fluoride.  Get her medium urinary iodine concentration (Muic) tested for iodine intake deficiency.  In the last 30 years iodine levels have fallen by 50% in the United States.

      Toddler gluten challenge and vomiting

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1976 as soon as he was weaned, his doctor insisted that we feed him only Nutramigen it was the only hyperallergenic with complete nutrition.  Enfamil and Similac were not acceptable if we wanted him to get healthy.  For one thing they had no  choline back then. Given the lawsuits against them now, he was right. He spent about 6 months on the Nutramigen formula exclusively and weaned off of that to a gluten free diet and thrived. He also predicted that by kindergarden the teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin, which he took all the way through High School.

      Check the label and tell us what kind of B12 is in your gummies.   If it's Cyanocobalamin, switch to a methylated (active) form of B12.   Some of us need to take the active form of B12 because our bodies have problems turning other forms of B12 into the active methylated form due to MTHFR genetic variations.   Take a B Complex supplement, too, because B12 needs the other B vitamins to function properly.

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      Hi! I've been gluten free for years. No surgery,  but have dumping syndrome symptoms,  particularly if I've eaten a lot of FODMAP foods, or xanthan gum, or any other gums that are in many gluten free foods. You may want to stop eating foods with gums and see if that helps!
