Disney Rocks!

Just got back from vacation at DisneyWorld and man, did they ever live up to everyone's praises on this board!!!

Liberty Tree tavern at the Magic Kingdom is an absolute must. Chef Al came out and talked to me and brought my meal out himself. I could't have any of the deserts on the menu, but he made a chocolate brownie-cake special with raspberry icing and ice cream. It was fresh out of the oven when he brought it out and smelled so good, my non-celiac dinner mates were drooling over it! It took a little extra time to cook my turkey dinner, as he made the gravy with corn starch special from scratch, so the manager gave us free fast passes for the rides the rest of the day!

The Brown Derby @ MGM had quite a bit to offer also, and the chef came out and talked to me there as well. They're a bit pricey, but like my wife said, better to spend a few dollars extra and be safe with something you can enjoy.

Counter service was not a problem as all the cashiers have ingredient books with them, and will call the manager or chef if their is any questions.

All in all an awesome time, I even gained a couple pounds( I'm an extremely hard gainer) despite walking what seemed like 8 miles everyday B)

Chef Al is emailing me the chocolate brownie recipe, will post when I get it.

And last but not least, Guhlia, I promised to give Mickey a hug for you, mission accomplished :D . My daughter's high school was marching in the parade and he came around and greeted all of us before the parade started.

We LOVE Disney. I asked the one chef if I could move into the actual park and have them cook for me everyday!! We are going again in October. The 6th thru the 13th. We own a house down there, so we are free to go whenever we want.. its wonderful! The house is rented out the rest of the year, but we usually get our pick of weeks, so I cook breakfast and such gluten free at home and in any of the parks I eat safely lunch, never ever even a rumbly tumbly.. and dinner, I either cook at home, or we stay in the parks.. and of couse, safe safe safe.. its great!

I just got back from a Disney trip with my high school band. I was a little nervous about the trip, having gone gluten free just a month ago. However, it was easier to eat gluten free there than at home. We had a nice meal at the Brown Derby at MGM, and not only did they make me a tapioca dinner roll (first bread product in a month-it was delicious), but they gave me the phone number of where to order the rolls. It was great.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
