Great Brocery Store In Bloomington, Mn

I just visited a new grocery store on Penn Ave S and 90th St in Bloomington, MN. It is called Fresh and Natural. It is awesome. I have never seen so many gluten-free products in one place! I have shopped Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and this store puts their stores to shame. They don't just have one tiny section of gluten-free products, they have shelf after shelf of them. Their gluten-free products are easily marked with a red arrow on the shelf. Check it out if you live in the twin cities. It is well worth the visit. If you already shop Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, you really need to see what is really available. It was like all the products that I see on line were available in one place! Check out their web site and see if they have a store near you. I know that I sound like an advertisement for this store but I was blown away. I intend to make it MY grocery store!!!!!

Hi Sparkles,

I agree! I have done all of my specialty shopping at Fresh and Natural Foods in Shoreview since I went gluten-free. I have not found any other store that even comes close to having as many products as they do. Oh, and their Bittersweet Bakery monster cookies and carrot cake are fabulous!

I didn't notice Bittersweet Bakery things there. I go to the Bittersweet Bakery in Eagan and do love the cookies!!! I will be thrilled to find those cookies at Fresh and Natural. Have you ever tried "Madwoman" frozen pizza. Fresh and Natural carries them at the Bloomington store. They are a Mnpls bakery located on Nicolet and 48th (or so). Anyway, their pizzas and pizza crusts are delicious. I am just so excited that I can now go grocery shopping and actually find real gluten-free foods. I was so disappointed in both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Now I have a store that I can shop very close to home. Now that I have found all this gluten-free food, my next project is figuring out now NOT to binge on it!!!!!

haha - I just discovered the madwoman pizza crusts last week - OMG those are fabulous! It is hard not to binge on those :P

I didn't even know there was a whole Bittersweet Bakery in Eagan - I have just always found their products at FNF. I will have to check out the bakery next time I am in that area!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
