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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
