Six Flags Over Texas

I wrote Six Flags Over Texas about what the heck I could eat at their park, and at least they got back to me fast. Here's the response I was sent:

Dear Chelsea,

Thank you for your letter. I wanted to let you know that

we have several options for you. First, I would like to say I am sorry

you were diagnosed with Celiac disease, I know how very hard that must

be for you...my doctors tested me for the disease as well, but found

that I had Diabetes. To accommodate your needs, there are several

options. As a park rule, we do not allow food or drink into the park

(you can bring bottled water). We do have a lot of guests pack a

cooler, leave it in their car, get their hand stamped for re-entry, and

have lunch at our picnic area in the parking lot. This is a very

popular thing, and our picnic area is nice! It isn't far from the front

gate, and our trams can take you to and from your car.

If you have medical information with you, we will allow you to bring in

a sack lunch (no cooler) for the day. But, honestly...it is a bit of

hassle. Our park is offering a heathier variety of food this season,

and you may find something you like here. I hope this helps...please

write back and let me know if you have any questions. We hope your

visit to Six Flags Over Texas is a memorable one! Good luck to you, and

have fun!

Sincerely, Micah Baker

Thanks, Captain McVague! I guess I'll email back and ask him for specifics? And I'd have to pack the cooler with dry ice, it's like 112 in the summer in Arlington! My wimpy ice packs can't take that!

Any suggestions on what to ask him further? I'll post responses here to share the "wealth" of information!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

BUT we got this:

Open Original Shared Link

For when we travel. It just easier, and cheaper. We did not pay that much, got it for about $50 when it was on sale, but its worth alot more then that for all the money we saved in buy junk food where ever we stop. This plus a supply of non-cold foods got us through our last couple cross country trips.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
