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!

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.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
