HI, I am going scrapbooking at a friends this weekend and saw on the net there are a LOT of gluten-free places. What do you reccomend to eat and where?

You might be interested in Canterbury village. I was just at the banquet hall Friday night and had a gluten free meal. One of the bakeries there is knowledgeable about gluten free too. Open Original Shared Link There is a Whole Foods Market in the northern Rochester area. I will try and think of more places. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. If you like the area, I know of another Srapbooking event too.

Dear Nicole,

There is also a Whole Foods and Good Food Company on Maple Road in Troy. In Clawson on 14 Mile Road, there is Bel Cibo, a small restaurant/store. Their pizza is good (you can sit down and eat it there if you wish) and they have various specials. Bonefish Grill, Carrabba's, Outback Steakhouse and P.F. Chang's all have a gluten free menu. Noodles and Company can make you rice noodles (they will use a clean saute pan) with stir fry veggies, gluten-free sauce, and will add a chicken breast if you like. Also, Celiac Specialties has a bakery in Chesterfield Township. Hopes this helps.

Laura,

Thanks for the tip on Canterbury Village. I was not aware of it. I have eaten there in the past (before I was diagnosied) and the food was good.

I'm jealous - a weekend scrapbooking, sounds like heaven :rolleyes:

If you're near Livonia, check out Giulios (www.giulios.us) the past and breadsticks are fantastic! They totally understand and go out of their way to make sure you have a good meal. I will say it's a little slow, but if you go planning to have a nice relaxing dinner you will definitely enjoy yourself!

ditto to the reference's above. I was in Troy this Summer for work and I checked out Bel Cibo's. The food there looked amazing - HUGE burritos (made from rice paper wraps). I had the quinoa greek salad and scarfed it down it was so good. That was in July and I am still writing the chef and begging for the recipe.

There's a PF Changs (or as I call it, the Chang Chang Man) in Somerset Mall, which is close to Troy. I drove to Livonia one night for dinner for the Italian place mentioned here. THe staff was great, and the manager came over and talked with me. He even heated up extra breadsticks for me. And there is nothing wrong with a slow relaxing meal. I was by myself and took my book, had a glass of wine and just relaxed and wasn't rushed at all.

Safe travels. Don't stress. Just know there are options, and there's always this board for help.

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      By cristiana · Posted

      As a parent myself, I find we feel these things very keenly, it is completely understandable that you feel the way you do. It won't always be easy for your son, of course, but honestly most of the coeliacs I know are very healthy individuals who enjoy life to the full and have adapted very well.  Family support is a massive factor in this, and your son has a wonderfully supportive family which will give him the best start possible.  He is very fortunate to have such an understanding mum.   On the response to gluten question you posed earlier - yes, many people when they come off gluten completely, after a while when they are exposed to gluten by accident or intentionally they react much more strongly than before, compared to when gluten was regularly being ingested.  I read once that once stop eating gluten completely, it is a bit like your system is fully rested, like a resting army, so when gluten does appear your body it goes all out to deal with the "enemy", throwing everything it can at it.   I am sure someone more scientific can better explain this to you.  But that said, I do have a friend who was diagnosed with coeliac disease just a few weeks before me, is strict with her diet, and she NEVER reacts physically to gluten, bizarrely.  It does happen! As regards blood tests which your son will no doubt be offered, these are to check for compliance to the gluten free diet as well as to check no other health issues are arising.  But on that first point, the blood test is unlikely to pick up one or two glutening experiences that happen in a year,  it tends to be more helpful to show if there is regular cross-contamination or ingestion of gluten.   When I was unintentionally taking an iron supplement that had gluten in it, it was a blood test that drew my attention to the fact that something was going wrong with my diet.

      Well, we have an appointment with a pediatrician who specializes in gastrointestinal issues, and subsequently an appointment with a nutritionist on December 6d. So till then it will be google for the win I guess... I have already found a lot of reassuring alternatives for most of his favorite things, which puts my mind at ease. Now we're just having to see how we will navigate the skitrip in march in an all-in hotel and food on the slopes. And how we will manage offering him warm meals daily as he used to eat at school as we can't manage to cook in time before his soccer practice starts as our commute doesn't allow for it... That kind of thing. But we will manage in the end.   I do feel a lot of sadness for him though. He's so small, will never remember the time before the diagnosis when he didn't have to see (some) food(s) as the enemy and even thought that is comforting in a way, it also is quite sad as a notion... I know we now have the opportunity to help him in the best way and help his health, I do. But I also grieve. I can't help it.

      I’m having a terrible time with my employer on this, they put me in an office next to where everyone places food for the department and have reactions when foods containing gluten are present. I’m extreme celiac and have a reaction in some bakery isles at the grocery store. Airborne gluten reactions are real in my world.

      Thank you for the update.  At least now you know what you are dealing with.  Is the system similar to that in the UK in that you will have a follow-up with the gastroenterologist where you can ask any questions you have, and also a referral to a nutritionist?

      We just had his diagnosis confirmed. The biopsy showed Marsch 3B.
