Amusement Parks (six Flags New England)

Recommended Posts

I'm going there on Friday and I was looking at the website and it said no food is allowed into the park. My only other post-celiac disease park experience was Busch Gardens and they let me bring my own food in so I'm not sure what to do here. I sent an email asking about it and I might try calling them tomorrow but if you guys have any info I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

bremac,

If you live here in Texas which you don't, they have a previllion that you can sit and eat your own food

or

you could get a cooler ice chest leave it in your car it should stay cool enough until you need to eat your food, It can't get that hot in new england, not as hot as Texas

just a thought

Oh ya they also can stamp you hand to come back in

We have a Six Flags near us and we always bring our lunch in a cooler, leave it in the van, and have a tailgate party. The food inside is nasty and expensive anyway, so even my gluten eating kids would rather do this.

I'm sorry I can't help with Six Flags, but after 3 years of trying, I did finally get a list from Busch Gardens Williamsburg if you plan on going there again.

Even before I was celiac we brought picnic lunches, food at the park is just so much money. We either took it to the pavillion or we went to the car. They hand stamp you so you can come back in.

I think through the ADA they have to either be able to provide food for you OR allow you to bring your own food inside the park. Call customer relations and speak to someone about it. Look into the ADA first though so you are well enough educated about it to argue.

Thank guys! I think we're going to all bring our lunches (I'm the only gluten-free one) and go eat on the tailgate. They don't have a picnic area so I think that's our best bet. My doctor is writing me a note saying I need to have good with me at all times so I can bring a few snacks in. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, you're allowed to bring water in (woohoo!:P)

I'm assuming by your response that you called. Are we allowed to bring snacks and so forth in to Six Flags parks?

Yep. I emailed and called and was told I could bring in food for only myself. So I am just going to bring some gatorade and gluten-free pretzels to eat when I get whoozy (don't want to pass out in line for the roller coasters!!!) They said to explain to security about my diet and the guy on the phone said a letter from my doctor "wouldn't hurt" so I'm getting one of those too. Good grief, right?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
