Six Flags Magic Mountain (Socal)

Has anyone been to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles recently?  Their website has a list of all of the eateries in the park and one, the "Cyber Cafe," says they have "gluten free items like cheese lasagna, pasta with meatballs, fudge brownies, and muffins."  Has anyone eaten there?  Do they really have those things?  What about cross-contamination?  I plan to call or email them for more information, but I also want to know anyone's personal experiences.  I'm so used to Disneyland being a safe haven for gluten-free food that I fear they've spoiled me for other theme parks.

I haven't been there in years, but I'm sure their gluten free items are pre-packaged/frozen.  In that case, you might be better off bringing your own muffins or brownies as 1) they'll taste better and 2) you'll save cash!  Let's face it, Magic Mountain isn't on the same level as Disneyland.  I'd be concerned about  cross-contamination.

I was curious, so I looked at their website.  I wouldn't wait until I got there.  I would email first.  If you have a doctor's note that might help.  Just bring in the basics that you couldn't get safely at the park.  Meaning- buy the drink or the Skittles at the park.

Thanks for the replies.  Spending the cash on the food isn't too much of an issue if it's going to make eating there a bit more convenient.  Giving them a call is something I'm planning on doing anyway.  I was really looking for any recent personal experiences at the park regarding their supposedly gluten free food.  I had hoped to not have to rely on snacks the entire day or have to leave the park mid-day for an actual meal (I don't do well without at least one full meal a day).  Eating out is always a calculated risk.  I don't have a reaction to minor cross-contamination, but blatant, not-even-trying is what I want to avoid.

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?

      Thank you so much, Scott. I find it incredibly daunting navigating this celiac space and I find comfort in your wealth of knowledge. Thank you 🙏🏻
