Turkey Legs At Walt Disney World


jmengert

Recommended Posts

I'm leaving for Walt Disney World in a few days, and I'm excited that it seems to be a gluten-free paradise. However, I am one who chooses to not eat out, as I have multiple food issues, on top of celiac. The last time I ate out I also got violently ill, so I've decided it's not worth it (even though I'm tempted to at Disney.....)

I've emailed the allergies contact at Disney, and they said the turkey legs are gluten-free, soy free, and dairy free. My question, then, is if anyone here has eaten them without issue. I guess I'm mainly worried about cross-contamination here.

Thanks for any help anyone has!

I've eaten the turkey legs 3 or 4 times without issue. One other time I had a stomach ache, but on that day I also had the McDonalds fries and ate at a restaurant, so it's hard to say where the cross contamination came from (other than the fries which are at a stand that only serves fries).

I ate the turkey legs at Disneyland & they seemed to be fine. The only thing was that they were pretty greasy, so it gave me some problems, but nothing like a glutening.

(By the way, they actually taste more like ham instead of turkey..atleast the ones that I ate.) :D

The turkey legs are really greasy, but they should be gluten free.

Yes, I ate them, too. I never had a reaction to those turkey legs. And they aren't even small. After Kathy and I ordered one each, we wished, we would have ordered one for both of us. They are huge! :blink: I wish I'd have one right now, too :lol:

Hugs, Stef

I have never had a problem at anyplace in Disney. Even during the Food and Wine Festival. The small tiny stands in each "land" at Epcot, the people working were knowledgable. I didnt get to eat as much as everyone else, but I had plenty! It was great. The one place that didnt know, I think it was Britian or Scotland, something like that, had an awesome grilled salmon in a maple sauce with a salad that was slightly warmed due to the fish.. they werent sure so they called up to the main kitchen and asked there... lucky me it was gluten free... it was the bestest! The one place I had a problem with, I went over to the customer service building and the manager took me back to the restaurant, gave me a gluten free meal, that they always had, just stupid cashier didnt know, and it was all free, they were willing to feed my whole family free, there were 8 of us.. but we didnt take it, only for my son, as we were heading to the food and wine festival and wanted to eat there!!! Disney is the happiest place on earth!!

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
