We are going to Disney World Orlando in October and I have booked a character breakfast (Magic Kingdom) for my daughter who has celiac.. I have read on here that the staff at Disney is wonderful about cooking gluten free.. my question is do I need to let them know ahead of time that she requires a g.f. meal or can I do it the day before? Thanks

They can often accomodate special diets on short notice, HOWEVER it is always best to let them know a week in advance so they can make sure that they have gluten free food for your daughter.

I would call them now and have them put it on your reservations. That way they can make sure they have the stuff to make whatever she wants. Disney is great!

Still call ahead and still be vigilent when there. A dad in my local gluten-free took his family there and his youngest daughter who is a celiac orderd the gluten-free pancakes etc. and the server served her regular pancakes....not a good recipe for a fun Disney trip! That is the only bad thing I've ever heard about Disney though to be honest so I think it was just a bad server.

I am also headed to Disney in October. When I booked my character dinner, we let them know right away at the time of the reservation that we had allergies to deal with. When we got there, it was marked right on our reservation card. No problems at all. But I would let them know ASAP.

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
