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!!

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
