Anyone Been On A Disney Cruise And gluten-free?

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!

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
