Loring Pasta Bar

Loring Pasta Bar's always willing to improvise something gluten-free for me, but now they've explicitly printed a statement on their menu that all pasta in the pasta dishes can be substituted for rice.

I wondered if the sauces though were indeed gluten free (cause as we know, it's not just enough to sub rice for pasta!) I had them double-check against my Triumph Dining card and they assured me, yes, the (seafood spaghetti) sauce was safe.

If you've never been, it's a great place to take out-of-towners. The restaurant has won design awards for what they did with the old apothocary and deservedly so. The space is simply amazing. That the food is good too and reasonably priced (both by Twin Cities standards, of course...) is a bonus.

is that the only sauce that is safe?

I'm not sure... I'd definitely have them double- and triple-check before you eat it though, especially the cream sauces. They also have sandwiches, salads, etc. if you're not in the mood for pasta. And I've also just gone in and told them what I want off-menu (e.g., my tuna-on-a-bed-of-greens standby) and they're pretty good about it. The artichoke dip is gluten-free but comes ringed with bread--have them put the bread on a different plate and eat your share first.

Happy eating!

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
