Visiting Florida (orlando)


Simon

Recommended Posts

Simon Newbie

Hi, my wife is a celiac and we are visiting Florida later this month. We are travelling with our two children who are under 10. Does anybody have some good advice on places to eat or I guess more importantly where NOT to eat in the Orlando / Disney area. Do foods in the USA have clear marking? Are there any mass product guides that are worth utilising while we are in the US on our trip.

We would really appreciate some guidance as its our first trip out of the UK since she was diagnosed and with being relatively new to the condition we are still finding our feet.

thanks a lot

Simon

There has been several threads on this - do a search under the travel topic on "Disney" or "Orlando". I've heard great things about Disney World and how they accomodate celiacs. We are going in October and are planning on staying at the Pop Century. Also check out www.allearsnet.com for more info.

We went recently but didn't do Disney. There are several chains (PF Changs, Caraba's, Outback) you can search on.

We did do Sea Word - and it ws *awesome*, they were totally accomodating and even cooked my meal in seperate area!! (And the Shamu show was great too!)

Thank you so much for the information and I will make sure I give you some first hand experience when I get back from Disney. Regards Simon

      Back home after the scope.  Dr said as soon as he got in there it was clear signs of celiacs.  Must be a decent amount of damage.  I don’t remember the post procedure conversation as the anesthesia was still wearing off but that’s what my wife says anyway.  Still the biopsy results to come back but pretty definitive and now I get to learn to live gluten free

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.
