Anyone know if there are any Restraunts in Disneyland that are Gluten free or allergy friendly?

I am on a strict, gluten free, soy free, corn free, and dairy free diet. strictly for the last 3 days and not sick for 3 days.

However I am planning a trip to Disneyland soon and want to be able to eat.. I can bring the enjoy life brand snack bars for a snack. but they don't let real food into the park, so i can't like make a sandwhich and bring it with me.

So i was wondering if anyone knew if Disneyland was allergy friendly???

Hi.

I've gone many times to DisneyWorld, and every restaurant within the parks and downtown Disney accommodates food for any kind of allergies. I believe is the same for any Disney park.

Call them and they help you with anything that you want.

Have fun

Best regards

Call Disneyland - and ask for "Chef Chris"...we talked to him directly before we went - and he is great. Any chefs at the Disneyland park will help you out. They deal with very sick kids who visit the park via the Make a Wish foundation, cancer kids who come on dream flights...

they will help you :)

Its the one place we have been since 2003 where we were away from home, felt safe with the food, didnt have to explain celiac etc. Even the buffets are set up to avoid cc - fruits on separate table / breads separate from potatoes, eggs..... etc-they request you use a clean plate at each section.

Kids were healthy and happy the whole time!

We went 2 years ago - so if chef Chris isnt there - someone else will be! They have a "master chef" and then chefs at all Disney restaurants - Even pizza places have chef who will whip up some rice pasta :)

Apparantly WDW has been onto the gluten-free thing for awhile.

You might visit this place for feedback from folks who've done it gluten-free.

I'm going in July, and wondered the same thing.

As others have responded, they are very accomodating. You also should have no trouble bringing your own food in. We went a year ago (pre-gluten free) and brought in a soft-sided cooler full of food each day (water, lunch and snacks). Security checks bags that are brought in before you can enter the park and we never had food confiscated. The cooler fit nicely under the rented stroller too. :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
