I revisited a family favorite fish and chips pub tonight for the first time since going gluten-free a year ago. The battered fish always topped my list of favorites off their menu, but there are plenty of other options. I was about to order off of the regular menu after having called the manager and told there were plenty of safe options. When I prefaced my order to the waitress with "I'm gluten free so..." she said "Wait, I have a specific gluten-free menu for you!" Awesome :)

There were plenty of options (most higher up in their price range) but the parmesan encrusted walleye caught my eye. It comes with a side of chef's-choice veggies (carrots tonight, lightly buttered and seasoned) and choice of baked potato, mashed potatoes, salad, etc. I went with the mash. No regrets! This was the best meal I've eaten out in a long time. And to top it off, as I was about to order a whiskey ginger our waitress stopped me to ask if I was a beer drinker; they'd just received a shipment of Redbridge beer. While I don't normally order a drink I can find later in my own fridge this was the first time I've been to a bar with Redbridge on the menu so I gave in.

Next time, we're going for drinks and dessert. There was a chocolate cake on the gluten-free menu which sounded amazing, but between the beer and mashed potatoes I was too full to give it a go.

If you're on the east side of St. Paul and looking for an alternative to Noodles & Co. (my standby), Manitou Station is the place!

Other good experience: The Freighthouse in Stillwater. You won't have to explain the gluten free concept to any of their staff.

Good to know. I had a really good meal last night at M & S grill in Mpls and there's a place called Biagoos (chain?) in Eden Prairie that had a very extensive gluten-free menu. The food wasn't that great though. But the meal at M & S was outstanding.

eta: I just realized that my husband and I ate at Manitou Station in Feb. after a friend's book signing. It was a really nice restaurant. I had a steak then so I made a safe choice. I'm going to remember that next time we need to eat out.

Glad to know the Freighthouse is safe - my husband & I love eating there when we go to Stillwater but I haven't tried it since being diagnosed.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      I'm really confused. I've struggled with pain in right side of abdomen, head fog, nausea, acid reflix etc and have attended A&E on several occasions with no cause found (normal ultrasounds and CT). My GP ordered bloods. TTG was 87.4 so I was referred for endoscopy. Endoscopy was very traumatic but seemed worth it to have diagnosis confirmed. Results...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      A high C4c usually points to activation of the complement system, which is part of the immune response, but it is not specific to celiac disease by itself. It can sometimes be elevated with inflammation, infection, autoimmune activity, or other immune-system issues, so the meaning really depends on the full lab panel, symptoms, and why the test was ordered...

      Having issues with chips

      Do you have any issues when you eat corn? It seems unlikely that two different corn tortilla chips that are marked as gluten-free would contain gluten. Have you eaten either of these in the past without issues, or is this reaction just on a recent bag?

      Having issues with chips

      When I get gluten sick I get pain in my stomach, exhaustion, migraines/headaches, pain in my gums. The same is happening after I eat those chips. The Gluten Assist enzymes are giving me relief. They were what stopped the vomiting yesterday.

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      A quick Internet search produced this result: "C4C refers to complement component 4, a protein in the blood that plays a role in the immune system. It is measured to assess immune function and can indicate various health conditions, including autoimmune diseases and infections." How old is your son? Has he been diagnosed with celiac disease, which...

My GP ordered bloods.  TTG was 87.4 so I was referred for endoscopy.  Endoscopy was very traumatic but seemed worth it to have diagnosis confirmed.  Results have returned saying everything looks normal (7 biopsies taken) but they have arranged a repeat endoscopy to look at other areas of the bowel.  I really dont think I can go through the wait and traumatic ordeal again.  Is it likely I'm coeliac or not.  I was expecting confirmation but have been left more confused than ever.

      It certainly is possible that you have other food allergies/sensitivities in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common ones seem to be dairy, oats, soy, corn and eggs. How do you distinguish gluten-caused sickness from other causes of sickness? For you, does getting "gluten sick" really different than illness caused by other things?

      Is anyone having issues with Santitas tortilla chips? They say gluten free, but I got vomiting sick after eating them. I also got gluten sick from eating Siete's certified gluten free serrano sea salt and vinegar chips. Is this possible or am I allergic to something else? I have been taking Gluten Assist enzymes and it is helping a lot, so I really think it is gluten.
