Hi all, my family and I are heading over to Orlando in August.  My 11 year old daughter has celiacs so I wonder if anyone has some advise on restaurant and fast food chains to head to that can cater for her needs please?  We last went in 2014 and came across some places were pretty clued up, although we went to Chicago in April this year and found the opposite!  There was hardly any choice and she spent most of the week trying to digest grilled chicken and veggies, not very appetizing for a child who loves fries, and especially hard when her pals were tucking into them!!

We are room only this year so I'm trying to be organised before our trip so we aren't wasting any holiday time searching for establishments that can offer a decent choice!

Thanks so much in advance :-)

If you are on Disney property, you should have no trouble.  Lots of gluten-free options.

Hi Kareng,

Unfortunately not!  We are staying at the Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando.  Thanks so much for the link though :-)

Are you on FAcebook?  There are some Orlando/disney groups.  

 

I don't know what the shopping and dining area is called that is outside of Disney but run by Disney?  It usually has a lot of good places for gluten-free.

Some American chains that you might find there and are known for good gluten-free practices -

Chick Fil A

Outback Steakhouse

PF Changs

Bonefish grill

REd Robin (fancy burgers, gluten-free fries)

Margaritaville

BJ's Brewhouse

Those are some I can think of right now.  You can hit a grocery and get a few things to munch - cereal and milk, boiled eggs, cheese and crackers, fruit, etc.  Some hotels have BBQ grills you can use.  Just get some foil or a foil pan to cook on.

Cooper's Hawk is a place we frequent often when we are in Orlando.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
