What To Eat At Sporting Events?

I love going to live pro events. Football, hockey, baseball, etc. Next month we are going to an Angels game. Since beer, hot dogs, pizza and pretzels are out what is left? I do know at Staples they have sushi bars but I doubt that would be the case at Angel Stadium.

Any suggestions?

Peanuts are safe and popcorn should be. You can probably have the hot dog without the bun but check on the brand. Nathan's does have wheat, but just about every other dog I've checked has been gluten-free. If the park has those turkey legs they seem to be safe most times.

I'm from Philly and you can get a cheesteak hold the bread or have it served over gluten-free fries.

While not AT Angels stadium, I'm sure there are places in the vicinity (well within walking distance) that could accomodate you. (BTW, there's a place called Wakano just a block up the street from Staples with great sushi!)

When we made plans to attend a Fresno (California) Grizzlies game I emailed the food service department and asked about gluten-free foods. I received an email back the same day and an another one the following day telling us which items we could purchase. You might try emailing, Just an idea. Have Fun!

You could also bring some of your own food in..........I've done that before -- and if they complain, you can explain in elaborate terms what would happen to you if you ate normal stuff and tell them about the intestinal wreckage and the fact that you're technically disabled because of the disease :D .

What to bring....chips, I guess, although, I just thought of something. They might have them there, anyway. If you go inside from the seat area into the hallway they often have counters where you can purchase food....usually more food options: nachos, fries, hotdogs, beer, soda.....who knows...they might have gluten-free chips there like Lays. If not, you could bring your own.

Another thing to consider is that many stadiums will allow you to bring food in for dietary restrictions if you call their service people ahead of time.

I know at the Giants stadium the garlic fries are gluten-free, we called the head of the concession stands there and he told me they are made in seperate fryers and if you go to the stands that just sells fries then they should be gluten-free, try calling the park and ask to talk t someone in the food dep.

My son had season tickets to the White Sox in 2005. He talked to someone in Customer Relations or the Concierge (at a sports arena???) and they gave him a pass to the Skybox restaurant where he could get other things beside brats and burgers.

You never know if you don't try.

I had the popcorn at a recent event I went to (shame on me, I didnt ask before hand) and I didnt get sick. I dont suggest that anyone try that way.. could have turned out bad, it didnt, but you never know!

I also go to Angels Stadium for games, there is a Beach Pit BBQ that opened there. Their food is EXCELLENT! They are also located on Tustin Ave. in Costa Mesa off of 17th Street. Not only is the staff familiar with celiacs disease, they double checked for me. Their BBQ sauce is gluten free!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOHHHHHH, the sweet potato french fries are heavenly! Enjoy!

I guess shame on me too, but I eat popcorn at games all the time. I am a sports fanatic so i go to games all the time and the only things i will eat at baseball games are popcorn, soft serve ice cream and peanuts in the shell. I have never gotten sick (not that those options are so great) because i have yet to find gluten in those items - i know it could be there, but im pretty sensitive so im pretty sure i havent been glutened

I go to a few Red Sox games every year and always eat the popcorn with no problems. I always bring a lara bar or other gluten free bar just in case I need some protein.

kbtoyssni Contributor

I always bring my own stuff to games. I usually try to hide it a bit so I don't have to deal with explaining why I will die if I eat any of their food. If you're worried, though, I'd bring a doctor's note. I did call one place and after arguing with them for 15 minutes about why I should be able to bring my own food, they still wouldn't budge so I just snuck it in. Usually the people at the gates are much more reasonable than the people in charge of food service.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.
