I've had the best luck at Outback, Chilis, Chipotle and PF Changs. Outback and PF Changs were the most knowledgeable and helpful. I always ask to speak to the manager on duty though and ask the server about four times if they have noted on the order that my allergy is severe.

Really, I hardly go out. It is a lot of work and I'm always worried about cross contamination. I got CC'd last Monday night at Noodle's & Co. for the second time and am still miserable. I love to cook and I have found that it has become fun to have friends over to try my new creations. It gives me an opportunity to educate others on Celiac.

There are a couple bakeries as well. I have gone to Bittersweet in Eagan several time and love them. There is also Cooqi in St. Paul and I've heard that Madwoman's Bakery in Mpls is awesome.

Good luck!

My favorite definitely (if you live in the twin cities area) is Chianti Grill. They have awesome gluten free pasta - it's like the Olive Garden, but better! I have never gotten sick there.

I agree with Lisa about the Chianti's Grill. We ate there Sunday October 14th. I had the gluten-free Spicy Chicken Penne, without the cajun spices. Very Good. We were at the Burnsville location. They had a separate gluten-free menu.

I also went to the Crumb Gourmet Deli, on 7910 Mitchell Rd, Eden Prairie. They use bread made by the Bittersweet Bakery. Nice being able to have a deli sandwich. When we were there, another person came in also that was looking for gluten-free sandwich.

The Madwoman's Bakery on Nicollet was good also. We had the quiche lorraine. I also ended up buying some cookies and muffins to take home with us.

Houlihans in Eagan did not have a gluten-free menu. But they did work to accomodate gluten-free. The cook recommended the grilled rosemary chicken, without the mashed potatoes.

I had a great Pad Thai at Big Bowl in Rosedale Mall. Our server said if she gets Pad Thai she always orders the gluten-free because she likes the sauce better. :-) I was encouraged that "gluten free" was familiar to her, and the manager came out to see me without my asking for him, so that was reassuring, too. They don't have too many options - I think it's basically the Pad Thais and the Kung Paos they can do gluten-free. But it was good and felt very safe.

There's also Chiang Mai Thai in Calhoun Square. I haven't eaten there since I was dx'd, but enjoyed it when I was there before, and our local support group says they're good for gluten-free.

Pei Wei is also supposed to have gluten-free things, but I haven't eaten anything gluten-free there, either. Didn't much care for the Pad Thai I had there before dx, but other things may be better. Someone around here raves about their Singapore noodles or some such.

I got sick after ribs at Chili's but I'm not sure I was glutened - I'm still trying to get my sensitivities straightened out. But my server clearly didn't have a clue what I was talking about, which was not encouraging. Still, the manager printed a current gluten-free menu w/ an expiration date, so it seems like they're trying to keep up tabs on formulation changes, at least.

Check out the newer post on Jimmy John's, too - that sounds promising, and not Asian, which a person might get tired of. (Not me, but some other person, maybe. ;) )

I would recommend Brasa (in Northeast or on Grand Ave in St. Paul). Nearly everything there is naturally gluten-free and is delicious.

Cafe Latte on Grand has an amazing flourless torte among their beautiful (flour-filled) desserts. Hubby and I always split, it's so rich!

I second Chianti Grill.

My friend reports good luck at Fogo de Chao.

I ate at Craftsman on Lake in Mpls. last night and had a beautiful dish and am feeling great today.

J. Arthur's Coffee Shop at Rice & B2 in Little Canada is carrying a new line of paleo cupcakes and they are INCREDIBLE. gluten-free (since it's grain free) and dairy free, soft and not gritty from rice flour like so many gluten-free baked treats are (it's made with coconut flour). Open Original Shared Link and scroll to the bottom of the page to read more.

And when I'm stuck for a fast food option I always hit Chipotle for a bowl.

Twigs in Rochester- the owner is a celiac and they have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen area. The food is awesome too!

Cheeky Monkey in St Paul has some good gluten-free sandwiches..but the flourless chocolate torte is to die for!

We really like Biaggi's. They've got several gluten free pasta options and provide gluten free bread. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and they've got a decent variety Open Original Shared Link.

 

We also like the Blue Plate restaraunts. Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link. They offer gluten free breads and have a unique menu.

 

Original Pancake House is very gluten-free friendly too.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
