Turkey Legs At Walt Disney World


jmengert

Recommended Posts

I'm leaving for Walt Disney World in a few days, and I'm excited that it seems to be a gluten-free paradise. However, I am one who chooses to not eat out, as I have multiple food issues, on top of celiac. The last time I ate out I also got violently ill, so I've decided it's not worth it (even though I'm tempted to at Disney.....)

I've emailed the allergies contact at Disney, and they said the turkey legs are gluten-free, soy free, and dairy free. My question, then, is if anyone here has eaten them without issue. I guess I'm mainly worried about cross-contamination here.

Thanks for any help anyone has!

I've eaten the turkey legs 3 or 4 times without issue. One other time I had a stomach ache, but on that day I also had the McDonalds fries and ate at a restaurant, so it's hard to say where the cross contamination came from (other than the fries which are at a stand that only serves fries).

I ate the turkey legs at Disneyland & they seemed to be fine. The only thing was that they were pretty greasy, so it gave me some problems, but nothing like a glutening.

(By the way, they actually taste more like ham instead of turkey..atleast the ones that I ate.) :D

The turkey legs are really greasy, but they should be gluten free.

I love the turkey legs at Disney..I had no reaction.....I wish I was there eating one right now!!!

Yes, I ate them, too. I never had a reaction to those turkey legs. And they aren't even small. After Kathy and I ordered one each, we wished, we would have ordered one for both of us. They are huge! :blink: I wish I'd have one right now, too :lol:

I have never had a problem at anyplace in Disney. Even during the Food and Wine Festival. The small tiny stands in each "land" at Epcot, the people working were knowledgable. I didnt get to eat as much as everyone else, but I had plenty! It was great. The one place that didnt know, I think it was Britian or Scotland, something like that, had an awesome grilled salmon in a maple sauce with a salad that was slightly warmed due to the fish.. they werent sure so they called up to the main kitchen and asked there... lucky me it was gluten free... it was the bestest! The one place I had a problem with, I went over to the customer service building and the manager took me back to the restaurant, gave me a gluten free meal, that they always had, just stupid cashier didnt know, and it was all free, they were willing to feed my whole family free, there were 8 of us.. but we didnt take it, only for my son, as we were heading to the food and wine festival and wanted to eat there!!! Disney is the happiest place on earth!!

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.

      Hi @Mettedkny I’ve had the same problem with Xiromed Progesterone 100 Caps. I’m very careful about gluten and only have had gluten “gut issues” since starting these. I previously had another brand, and no problems. So, even if Xiromed says “gluten free” perhaps in the manufacturing process there is gluten cross-contamination. I’m already requesting a different manufacturer to see if there is improvement.

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?
