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.

      Medication

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Medication

      By Julie 911 · Posted

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks
