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.

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.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
