I was just dx through biopsy in Dec'07, it isn't util this month Feb-08 that I have gotten a small handle on what all this means and going gluten fee.

Would love to hear from other Michiganders.

I'm not from Michigan, but just wanted to give you a welcome. You have found an invaluable place for Celiac information and a lot of great people willing to share their stories.

welcome to the site im sure you'll find lots of help and support here.

also you can go to www.celiacteens.com a dedicated site for teens with celiac disease

Welcome to the site! I am from Midland. This is a great place to learn about the disease, ask questions, learn about food, etc.

I'm also from Midland. I know it can be frightening as hell when you're first diagnosed. Just give it some time. Once you get a handle on things, it's really not so bad. While this site does have a ton of great info, never be afraid to ask questions. It's much better to be safe than sorry!

I'm not a teen, but I'm from Oxford, MI.
Kroger and Meijer's have some gluten free products in their specialty/health food sections.
There will probably be a gluten free food fair this spring in Farmington.

I'm not from Michigan, but I am from Wisconsin. As time goes on you get better and better at being gluten free. glutenous foods don't even sound good to me anymore.

Be sure to check out local support groups - there's one in Lansing, Ann Arbor and the tri-county area too!
