:) Hi evreybody, I know I,ve read in this forum about great experinces about eating gluten free in Disney world and the other theme parks, but I didnt imagine that was so easy an affordable too!!

Let me tell you my experience in case that sombody can use it:

Over the weekend we went to Magic kindom a Epcot , we took with us a cooler with snaks (like cheese, eggs and franks just in case). they do check your bags for security reasons, but there was no problem coming in with that.

We ate in 2 different restaurants (the affordables ones) and in each one I asked to talk to the manager and he came out with a book that said all the ingredients of their foods and they were very well educated about gluten free foods. In one place we order the gluten free pizza (same price $5.75 and look like the regular one) The manager after he spoke to us, went to the kitchen and order the pizza there for us. In the other one they offer us hamburguer with gluten free bread.

im happily sorprised!!

I had just posted this question on a Disney board I belong to as we are planning a spring trip! Someone also said that there is a bakery on Main Street, USA that sells gluten free cookies & brownies! It sounds like they are very knowledgeable about it and willing to work with you.

I just returned from Disney in Oct and was told, that at any resort, whether you are staying there or not, as long as they have an independant bakery in the hotel, they can make you gluten free cakes, cookies and all kinds of goodies.

Those resorts that the chef mentioned were The Polynesian, The Grand Floridian and I do believe the Contemporary. The higher end ones. And they will send these goodies anywhere you desire.

That came from a chefs mouth at the Italian place on the right when you first walk into the Magic Kingdom.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, we are hoping to go again next year... its nice owning a place there! makes it a bit cheaper for us to go now.. lol

and FeedIndy, you are right they do have in that main street that bakery that sells the "It's OK" brand of Brownies and one like rice crispies cake that are gluten free ($2.50 each).

If you have more questions, and I know the answers, I'll be happy to help you!

Okay so you guys are gonna remember this for me when I go back next year.... ( You guys asked me to call Disney and I never got too.... ) So EPcot.. and the main street bakery.... Well that makes me feel better. I would honestly think that throught all of Disneys trials and truibilations ... that they would try to accomodate everyone to have as much fun as the average 7 year old... I am glad. now that real food is starting to come to my dinner table ... these issues are going to be a bigger deal than they allready are.

I just got back from Disneyworld on Saturday. We stayed at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter (one of the medium priced Disney property hotels). They only had a food court (not a sit down restaurant), and I found them to be EXTREMELY helpful!!!

Whenever I ordered anything I asked for help with a special diet...they'd call out the chef who went over everything they could make for me. I had gluten/dairy free pancakes which were HEAVENLY!!! They even gave me some small individual jars of pure maple syrup to make sure I didn't get sick from the regular syrup.

I also had a hamburger on a gluten-free bun. Their fries are made in a dedicated fryer, but they made mine in the back just to make sure it didn't come into contact with anything which could contain gluten. THey said they could have made me gluten/diary free pizza, brownies, waffles, pasta, etc. And, that was all at the food court!

I was so excited to have pancakes, which I haven't had in years, that I never tried the other stuff, lol! The whole experience was FANTASTIC!!!

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
