Would love to hear from other Michiganders.

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.
