Anyone Know Of Good Celiac Doctor In Minnesota - Twin Cities?

[GFinMN]

Anyone recommend a celiac specialist in the twin cities area?

There are wonderful GI doctors who specialize in celiac disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Drive an hour, it'd be worth it. One of the leading researchers in the field is located there. Also, there is a Gluten-Free Cupboard grocery store and a Good Food Store in Rochester, both have a wide variety of gluten-free products.

I ditto the suggestion of Mayo because they have a renowned specialist there. I think his name is Dr. Murray At the very least, you could call and ask them for a referral to a good celiac doctor in the cities. Oh - If you do go to Rochester, be sure and check out that Gluten Free Cupboard the previous poster mentioned. They are just a little teeny store, but they have absolutely everything.

Not a celiac specialist, but my GP is great if you're looking for a yearly doc who won't give you the evil eye when you mention you have celiac and will know what to look for. I go to Ronda Stellar at the Shoreview Medical Clinic. She says whenever she gets someone who's having trouble getting pregnant, she'll test them for celiac. She's also been to several talks about it so she' pretty knowledgeable and realizes there's more to it than the stereotypical symptoms.

This is not about a doc but if you live in the twin cities, there is a great grocery store called Fresh and Natural. There is one in Shorview and one in Bloomingtom. They have tons of gluten-free foods, seminars, even cooking class. It puts both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to shame. Also there are two great gluten-free bakeries in Mnpls and Eagan. Both have foods at Fresh and Natural!!!!

MN Gastroenterologists is a group of doctors that practice around the Twin Cities. I am new to Celiac but when in the hospital, this group saw me and are the ones who recommended the endoscopy when I did not have symptoms typical of Celiac. Don't yet know how good they are but am also thinking of driving down to Mayo and having them take a look at everything as a second opinion. Good luck.
