:) 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

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!!!

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
