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...

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By cococo · Posted

      They’re a Canadian brand so I’d assume you’d be able to buy from the US. You can buy them directly from their website but also on iHerb.  Hope your daughter feels better soon.

      Thanks for the recommendation. I see it’s an Australian brand. Wonder if we can buy it here I the US?

      Histamine intolerance and supplements

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  After months of suspecting everything being gluten contaminated, I think it’s histamine intolerance mimicking some glutening symptoms. The biggest thing that settled it was my daughter’s neurological reaction fermented foods and probiotics general. I’ve tried this twice within a gap of six months. I do recognize now in addition to that avocado, spinach, oranges, and tomatoes absolutely make things worse.  I see a lot of ppl here having tested their DAO levels via blood test, but I can’t seem to get an allergist to even recognize the condition, let alone to test for it. Additionally, I was wondering if there was any correlation between nutritional deficiency and histamine intolerance, and if any of you have seen reduction in histamine issues post supplementing.  Thank you.

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By AdelaW · Posted

      About a month ago I had a blood panel done for digestive issues and tested weak positive for celiac. My tTG IgG was a 6 with the range being 0-5 negative, 6-9 weak positive and 9+ positive(I have an IgA deficiency so they measured with IgG). Afterwards my doctor requested I have an endoscopy with a biopsy done and received results with symptoms in my small intestine such as DUODENAL MUCOSA WITH MODERATE VILLOUS BLUNTING, MODERATE CRYPT HYPERPLASIA AND INCREASED INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES (MODERATE MUCOSAL LESION, and a final note stating "The findings are consistent with celiac disease in the proper clinical setting. Correlation with serological studies is recommended". I got these results 3 days after testing before my doctor contacted me and cut out gluten seeing I likely have celiac and feel much much better. However, I just met with my doctor and they informed I must get another celiac blood test done to confirm my diagnosis because my original blood test is so weak, despite the fact that my endoscopy showed strong indication of celiac, therefore I must reintroduce gluten into my diet and start feeling horrible again. And I am curious on whether or not this is a typical diagnosis route and if I should consider reintroducing gluten again to ensure or just assume I have celiac. And will I still be able to get an official diagnosis without another positive blood test and reintroduction of gluten?

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By elizabethhousworth · Posted

      Fascinating. No ingredient in Dr. Reddy's Sumatriptan SUCC 100 mg has gluten, or should have gluten. But the doctor said ask the pharmacist. The pharmacist said call the manufacturer. And the manufacturer said "it contains gluten."
