Gluten Free Foods At Mn State Fair

I am going to the MN State Fair on Thurs. I have avoided it several years and am now ready to face "everything on a stick...." I am not sure if other state fairs offer as much food on a stick as the MN Fair but it is rather interesting. Anyway, we used to eat our way through the fair... part of the fun of going.... BUT being gluten-free, I am wondering what is available that is gluten-free. It doesn't have to be on a stick... just GOOD Fair Food. Any suggestions???? I am not sure that watermelon on a stick counts!

I was just thinking of this myself....I have decided not to go and torture myself and my 8 year old daughter who was just diagnosed. I think I will die if I see a corn dog.

Here is what I was considering to be safe. You will have to make sure and ask questions and possibly read ingredients if they have anything for you to look at.

foot long with no bun, onions.

roast corn

pickle on a stick (yuck)

French fries - the fresh cut ones that is all they have at that stand so no cc

apple with Carmel

milk shake

ice cream

lemonade

pork chop

those Aussie potato things, I am not exactly sure whats on them but they look delish

pop corn

snow cone

Have fun and let me know how it was!

My concerns would be the foot longs are in the same stand as the buns, probably crumbs get on the grill. Were the fries made in a frier that previously fried gluten stuff? I don't know, the state fair makes me nervous. I believe Northland Celiac group has a booth with a list of gluten-free foods. I'm pretty sure I printed one from the internet a year or two ago but can't find it now. But I look at the list, and I don't see how I wouldn't get CCed. The only things I'd get would be milk or the roast corn. I bring my own food :)

Here is the 2009 list of gluten-free fair foods! It is quite extensive compared to previous years.

WOW!! You are sooooo fortunate! Took my kiddo's to the fair here and there was pretty much nothing they could eat. All the "safe" food-ie corn on the cob-was all on the same grill as everything else. Even the soft serve place couldn't tell me if their ice cream was gluten-free and they had no ingredient lists in the kitchen <_< Luckily, I packed a huge backpack full of meals and snacks so they didn't starve...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
