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.
