I would love to take my daughter to Disneyworld and on a Disney cruise ( 3 days Disneyworld - 4 days Cruise) for her birthday this summer. Has anyone been there and had good luck with a wide variety of food that was gluten-free? I am the one that needs to be gluten-free ( not her). I've heard they are very accomodating with what they have, but I picture myself in front of a huge buffet and only being able to eat the fruit ( and no dessert the whole time) - that just won't work!

I haven't been on a Disney Cruise but I have been to WDW a few times while gluten free. There is so much food to choose from ! They have everything from gluten-free rolls, cakes, brownies, pancakes, waffles,pastas, rice dishes, quinoa dishes, salads, meats - - - truly wonderful! When you want to have a table service meal, make a reservation and have it noted on the reservation. You can call about a week in advance and talk to the dietary specialist for each restaurant and they will go over what they can do for you. The chef will come out and talk to you before your meal. Even the disney resorts will accomodate your needs. For counter service meals there is a list available from Disney that lists all of your best bets for a quick bite. From what I understand the Cruise would also be able to accomodate you. I think that you just need to note on your reservation and you should be all set. Have a great time and don't worry!

I haven't been yet but we are doing the land/sea package this summer. My 2 daughters and I are all gluten/casein free. When I booked it, they told me that the cruise line was just as allergy friendly as the resort.

I also haven't been on one, but Disney is the one line you definitely wouldn't have to worry about. You will have tons to eat. In fact, I'm sure they'll bring out your specific requests directly to you to cut down on contamination possibilities. Call them.

Be sure to let us know how it goes. I've been really wanting to do a Disney cruise after the baby is old enough. We have a 3 year old who would just LOVE that. Me, I'm not keen on boats, but I'd do anything to see her smile. Plus, my husband is sick of going to Disney World for every single vacation. I like it because it's so easy to find things to eat in the parks. He would love to go on a cruise though. So... Disney, of course, is my first choice!

I will update when we get back. I'm a little nervous about it because one of my daughters is also soy-free and a vegetarian (and gluten-free/CF). I will be really impressed if they can feed her. They assure me that they can, but I won't really believe it until I see it.

I am a vegetarian celiac and Disney World has always been amazing with the food - plenty of pasta, pizza, rice, tofu (I know that kids don't usually like tofu) and just about anything vegetarian that I cook at home is available there. I think your daughter will be well fed!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
