My family and I will be going to Disneyland in a few weeks. I have received great information on where to eat in Disneyland but am looking for information on California Disney. Anyone been? Does anyone know the chef I could call? Thank you for any help!

once and again Rookie

the Jazz Kitchen restaurant in downtown disney - just outside the park was great. It was one of the best meals I ever had - gluten or gluten free. They had a menu marked with items that could be made gluten free and the manager discussed everything with me before my order was given to the chef. A very pleasant experience.

Thank you so much! I have a call into the chef who is in charge of California Disney but he has not called me back :(

Ask for Chef Chris. I went last year and he spent over an hour on the phone w/ me. The chefs there were totally cool and cooked me custom made stuff. Call, and demand once you're there!

Your right Chef Chris is wonderful! However, he could only give me information on Disneyland not California Adventure. We have a park hopper pass and will be at both. I have left a message for Chef Ricky who is in charge of California Adventure. Unfortunately, I have not heard back. I will be calling again. I will post if I get some information.

Can you believe someone finally called me back! It looks like Disneyland is a better place for me to eat at. The person I spoke with (I believe Chef Ricky) did give me a few options. Like Disneyland, at the California park you can eat the vendor cart popcorn, cotton candy and fresh fruit (that actully sounds good). At Award Weiners the hot dog and fries are safe, Taste Pilot a hamburger patty and chicken with no sauce (not so exicting), Cocina the nachos with beans, chese, guacomole, and salsa (no meat). and at the Burbank ice cream flavors vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mint chocolate. At least I have some options. I will post how my trip went when I return from the happiest place on earth!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
