Timberlodge, Outback, Good Earth (also has lots of organic and vegan choices), P.F. Chang's, Pei Wei, Bittersweet Bakery is totally gluten-free in Eagan (suburb). I recommend checking out the Northland Celiac's webpage before you go-they list a lot of these here and also it might be handy to know if there's a nearby grocery store you can use-they list those also-here's their site: Open Original Shared Link

Do stop in at the Bittersweet Bakery in Eagan if you get the chance. Their carrot muffins are truly excellent and it is great to go to a bakery where it smells great and you can actually eat everything in the store. (Assuming your diet is just minus gluten) Don't be put off by the items in the display case the good stuff is all in the back. (Refrigeration issues)

Enjoy your trip.

Thank you both so much, this is great information. We are actually going there the week of Thanksgiving, my husband has family in St. Paul. While we're there we're going to go to the Vikings game, so I'm looking forward to that.

Have you tried the Chianti Grill or Good Earth in Roseville? I was wondering which one was better or if they both were worth going to?

Thanks again for the information, :)

I've never been to the Chianti Grill myself, but I've heard they have great ambiance, their steaks are supposed to be good, and they make a lot of their stuff from scratch so you can talk to the chefs to get what you want. It's pricier than Good Earth, maybe you could do lunch instead of supper there if you wanted to keep it less pricey.

I'm partial to Good Earth myself, my college roommate used to waitress there-we all went there often (good sign when you like to visit the restaurant your roommate actually works at!). Their place at Roseville doesn't have the greatest ambiance, but they have good vegetarian selections and organic food options, and the food is great. I always get the tea also-smoothies are a good choice if you're in the mood. I recommend calling ahead, especially if you are going Sunday lunch-it tends to be packed then and you can expect a wait during busy times if you just show up-I'd call ahead and they take your name, then you don't have much wait time. They opened a new place in Edina that I haven't been to yet-just checked out their website and they have photos-looks nice. If you want to check out their menu and prices ahead of time here you go-have fun!

I am going to be traveling for two weeks on buisness, the first part of the trip takes me to Minneapolis this weekend for a convention. I have been really stressing about what I am going to eat the entire time.

I was so excited to see the post about the Bittersweet Bakery! I will definitely be stopping in and stocking up on my way to the hotel. Thanks!!

Let me know how your trip went. Did you have any good or bad experiences at some of the restuarants. And how was the gluten free bakery?

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
