Oh no, don't starve! There is lots of good gluten-free food in Mpls! First of all, you have to go get yourself a few loaves of Udi's bread. It is the best. I use it for sandwiches, toast, garlic bread, stuffing- everything. They sell it at Cub and Byerly's in the natural foods freezer section. I don't know where you live but find a nearby co-op. I love Eastside on Central. They will have everything you need. Fresh and Natural is very easy to shop gluten-free when you are new. Everything you can have is marked with a red tag. It is expensive so I don't go there much anymore. I also go at least once a month to Whole Foods. My very favorite is Trader Joe's. It is a 30 minute drive for me and well worth it. Their convenience foods are so much cheaper than the co-ops and Whole Foods. I buy frozen waffles, frozen mini tacos, frozen taquitos, spaghetti noodles and sauce, meringues (cookies), and so much more. My kids are also dairy free and I get chocolate chips and ice cream for about half of what they are at the natural stores. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods both have a list (many pages long) of the gluten free option in their stores. They are also happy to help guide you.

PS Whenever I go to Trader Joe's in Maple Grove, I stop and eat lunch at PF Chang's. They have a large gluten-free menu. Qdoba is also right there and they have a gluten free menu as well.

Good luck!

Hi tgrahek

Thank you so much for your helpful reply. I am sorry I am writing this with 5 months delay but I didn't have a good access to the net while in Minnesota and I left Minneapolis after that and haven't been on this site for a long time.

I am now back in MN and I discovered one of the best place is the Lake-winds, Minnetonka. They have a very good choice of everything and I never found this much gluten free food in a store even in my home city Toronto, Canada. It is a bit far and it seems all the Lake-winds coop are in the West but it is worth the ride and I buy a lot when I am there.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. 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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
