We are finally taking our first vacation since my dx. We are taking the kids to Disneyland! I have read alot about Disney being celiac friendly and our friends will be there at the same time. I am looking for any and all advice about eating gluten-free at Disney. I am the only one in the family that has it. However, I would really like to avoid being sick on our first vaction in 5 years! Please let me know any helpful hints you may have for staying gluten-free in the park. We will be staying in the Disneyland hotel in hopes that it will be easier for me to eat.

Thank You!

The Storybrook Cafe serves gluten free food in California Adventure and there are 2 gluten-free restaurants in the Disneyland Hotel. They are VERY Celiac friendly...don't worry!

I was recently at a conference in Anaheim, right down the street from Disney. I had very good luck in downtown Disney, and there is an Outback and a place called Mimi's Cafe a short distance away.

Hez, I've heard good things about Disney. Do a search on the forum here too, there have been past threads on Disney. Also, whenever I travel, I always take gluten-free dining cards with me. Makes it much easier to communicate. Have fun!

Storytellers Cafe (located in the California Adventure Hotel) is extremely gluten-free friendly. They serve hamburgers with buns, pizza, and spaghetti for us. Also, they have gluten-free fries and cornbread. Also, they have a flourless strawberry ice cream cake that is extremely good.

I have also heard, but not tried, Goofy's Kitchen or something like that is gluten-free friendly and is located in the Disneyland Hotel.

There is also a Whole Foods about 10 minutes away.

Have fun!

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
