:) 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).

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!!!

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
