I am going to Disney World in Orlando in FEb. I know there is an Outback Steakhouse. Are there other restaurants that anyone could recomend? Also are there any Whole foods or other health food stores in the area? Thank for you help!!

Hello! The only Whole Foods Market around here is on Aloma Ave. in Winter Park... It's just north of downtown Orlando. It's the Fairbanks exit off of I-4. Fairbanks turns into Aloma. As far as restaurants, Disney is so caring and accomodating!! The chef will come out and talk to you at the restaurants and in Epcot I go to the mexican place and get the ensalada mexicana i think its called. Yummy!! I got a annual pass just for the food!!! Outside of Disney, you can try Carrabbas Italian Grill, The Bonefish Grill, Chilis, Mimis Cafe, First Watch, Buca De Beppo, Don Pablos, The Bee Line Diner, Chevy's Fresh Mex, Flemings Steakhouse (Winter Park), P.F. Changs, Roy's, Ruth's Chris, Shulas Steakhouse. I've been to all of these except Chevy's Fresh Mex. They all have great food and a great, understanding staff. I hope you enjoy your trip to Disney and my neck off the woods!!

I talked with a woman at my local celiac meeting last week, and she said Disneyland in CA was very accomodating. They printed out a list of all the restaurants in the park that had gluten free items, and even a menu of those items. It is my hope that Disneyworld would do the same, as we're planning a trip there soon. I remember they had a lot of food in the part of the park where all the different countries were represented- mexican, italian, etc...I bet they've got some good stuff there! Let us know what you find out :)

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
