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!

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.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
