I feel like a kid. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! My family is planning on going to Disneyland (CA) in March. I made reservations for breakfast and mentioned my gluten-free restrictions. This person was telling me no problem, they make gluten-free pancakes. Well, I knew this but for her to know this impressed me (all she does is take dining reservations for all of the restarants). Then I asked her about procedures for finding out where in the park I can eat. She immediatly transfered me to a chef. This person called me back very quickly and took the time to go through where and what I can eat. Then I just received a call from the chef who runs the restarant where we are eating breakfast. He assured me of all the yummy options I will have to choose from. Who knew that eating gluten-free could be so easy? I REALLY think this is the happiest place on earth! Did I mention I can have french fries!

Hez--YIPEE!--I'm so happy to hear that you're going to Disney and that they're going to take such good care of you! I've only heard good things about Disney--both of them. :)

Hez, that is exciting!!! I'm going next weekend (12th)!!!! I really must call today when I get home from work. I'm going with two other friends so I'm not sure where we'll be eating (one likes fast food and burger type food, the other likes just about anything) but if they can give me an idea of which places, that would be a start! I was planning on taking some Lara Bars, peanut butter and trail mix to snack on just in case, but maybe I won't have to pack the supermarket like I thought I would, lol!

Hez - thanks for posting about DisneyWorld! That is so awesome. I went to Disney (and no where else) all the time growing up so I haven't enjoyed it much as an adult but now I may just have to go there just to support them for doing such a great job for their customers! Hey there's an idea.....(lightbulb goes off in her head)........ What about Disney Corp. as a sponsor to inform the public about Celiac???!!! They can write off all the costs of such a campaign on their taxes. This is dreaming big I know but I'm a big dreamer! Thoughts anyone?

I posted my Disney experience in the eating out forum. I was new and hadn't seen this one yet! Check it out for ideas. Disney is AWESOME! Our vacation was truly a dream come true! We are wanting to go back as soon as we can! They are so celiac/food allergy friendly! Why can't other places take this approach! I am so excited for those of you who are going! Enjoy!

I hope you will be totally happy at the happiest place Hez. Have a terrific trip all of you who are going there. I would have went with my son and his kids but my trip to Jamaica is at the same time...sorry, Jamaica won.

Here is a link to go to for where to eat in Disneyland. It is the basic information that I got over the phone Open Original Shared Link. Keep in mind this is for Disneyland in CA.

The only thing new is the mexican restarant in Frontier Land now has a celiac menu. Ask for it when you go in. All of the Disneyland hotels have gluten-free options as well. There did not seem to be as many options in California Adventure. None of the resturants in between Disneyland and California Adventure are run by Disney. So eating there is like eating anywhere else, risky.

Hope you have fun!

Hez -- that is FANTASTIC! Not that this would be an issue for you, but even years ago, Disney World was the only place I knew of that had TRULY accessible handicapped restrooms. They're the size of a small bedroom, and have everything you can imagine for physically challenged individuals. While you're there, take a gander (not that you're going to want to spend your time scouting out toilets!), but it's just another way that they have incorporated so much thought into that park. I am so happy for you. Have so much fun . . . . Lynne

Thanks Hez, yes, we're going to Disneyland in CA! I never did call when I got home yesterday, lol. I wonder if someone is there on weekends? :D Thanks for the link!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
