Hershey, Pa Tips?

We are planning a 2-3 day trip to the Hershey area, and I'm wondering if there are any "safe" eating spots both in the park or in the surrounding area. We're probably going to hit the Botanical Gardens, the amusement park and maybe Indian Echo Caverns. Just a brief getaway.

Thanks!

The Hotel Hershey (up on the hill) has a gluten free menu!!! I actually live here. PM me if you want to get in touch I can give you all the other hints to the area.

In Hersheypark there's a Kosher Food Mart that has a small gluten free menu. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. You may want to call the park ahead of time to see if they'll let you bring your own food in since you hae dietary restrictions. I know that Dutch Wonderland will (they're owned by Hershey), so it's worth a try.

I am so siked!!! I was scrolling down to 'gluten-free travel' to post questions about Hershey Park (and the Outer Banks)!! We're staying at the Hershey Lodge but can certainly eat at Hotel Hershey. Awesome!!! :D:D

PS-I just called 1800 HERSHEY and went with the dining prompt. When explaining my needs to the customer service rep prior to being transferred to the chef, she told me that the resort would be able to meet his needs without risk of cc. The executive chef for the resort just left me a message to discuss my son's dietary needs. I missed the call, but he's calling back later. I'll let you know the out come.

Hi, I will also be traveling to the Hershey and Lancaster PA area this summer with my family. Can you suggest any safe places to eat outside of Hershey? I will be staying at Willow Valley in Lancaster. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
