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.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.
    • Fabrizio
      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
