Just got back from Florida for my sister's wedding and we stayed in Disney 2 nights - I had the best gluten-free meals there that I've had since going gluten-free! We stayed at the Pop Century, and ate dinner, lunch and breakfast once each at the food court and I have to say, I had better (and cheaper - they charge the kids price for gluten-free meals even though they are larger and tastier) food than anyone else in our party! My husband was so jealouse of my gluten-free pizza with broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers (all he could get was a pepperoni pizza that was half the size of mine and cost $2 more!). All you have to do is ask to talk to the head chef, and they will come out and talk to you about the options and what yoiu want to order. Be forewarned thouh, b/c they cook it in dedicated pots, etc., it will take longer (my pizza took about 10 min. wherease all the others are premade). I want to find out what pizza crust and hamburger buns they use, b/c I haven't found any that good in the stores! They also have a gluten-free (and I think it is DF too) brownie in the gift shop that I bought for the car ride home, but I didn't eat it yet. It looks really good, and if my experience holds true it will be!

We also ate at the Grand Floridian character dinner (Park Fare) one night, and there was so much on the buffett that I COULD eat that I didn't even miss dessert (I had shrimp cocktail for dessert!). Again, talk to the chef and he will walk yoiu through the line pointing out what is in everything. I saw him several times that night walking people through. They truly love to do it too - don't look at you like you are a pain in the you know what :lol:

I"m glad we were only there for 2 nights though, or I would have gained about 20 pounds and not fit into my bridesmaid dress! :lol:

If you ask nicely, the chefs who do breakfast at the Grand Floridian will make you gluten-free waffles or pancakes :). My mom had called see what my options were, and the chef came out and asked me what I wanted for breakfast, and I just said that eggs or something would be fine, since that's what I was used to having at any kind of buffet/diner/breakfast situation, and he said "no, I don't think you understand. I can make you anything you want." So I got Mickey waffles :) Disney is really really accomodating.

Glad to hear that you had a positive response. Disney is wonderful. I did ask if I could move into the park and have them just prepare my meals everyday!

My parents bought a vacation house down there.. so we are free to go whenever we want. Unless its being rented. We rent it out when we are not there.

We will be going again within the next year.. if just for the food alone!

I truely believe Disney is one of the most accomidating place for food allergies/intolerances! When i was there in the summer the chef brought me gluten-free rolls and my own vinegar to dip it in! I am going back in December and I am so excited to eat Mickey waffles again!

If you are looking for a place to stay.. its off site.. its our house. We rent it out. It sleeps 8 comfortably. And it has a pull out couch for 2 more. You can look at it at www.lynvillas.com, if you are interested at all, just let me know.. PM me.. the price you see on the screen.. is not necessarily the price.. that is for the people who go thru the management company we have for the place.

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
