We might go there later this month and curious if anything there is Gluten-free Casein-free or atleast gluten-free? I read on their site they only allow outside food to babies and special diets. I'm wondering with the special diets do you need a doctors note along with your lunch and snacks?

Has anyone gone to this location recently? Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (Formly known as Marine World) in Vallejo CA

I had the same question, we'll be there next week. I called their number for questions, 707-644-4000 x374, and got bounced around a bit then told to bring our own food. When I asked if we needed to bring any documentation to bring the food into the park, she just took down my name to let them know to expect us.

The other option would be to contact the restaurants individually.

We go a few times every summer, and as they check my bags, I start it off with letting them know that my 4 year old has Celiac Disease and requires a special diet. I have NEVER had a problem. I do have a Doctor's note, but have never had to pull it out. I would recommend getting a note from your Dr. for any amusement places in the future, but I have never had a problem at the park in Vallejo.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes.  Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it.  If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS.  TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS.   There are different amounts of gluten in different breeds of wheat.  Wheat used for cookies and cakes and tortillas do not contain as much gluten as wheat used for bread and pizza crust.  Look at the crumb in cakes and tortillas.  There's only small bubbles. Gluten is in the matrix forming those bubbles.  Compare those to the big bubbly holes in artisan bread and chewy pizza crust.  To get those big holes, more stretchy elastic gluten is used.   You are subconsciously avoiding those types of foods with large amounts of serious gluten in them.  Consider including these types of high gluten foods in your gluten challenge before your antibody retest and endoscopy.  Keep a food mood poo'd journal to record how symptoms change.   Anxiety, headaches and joint pain are symptoms of Celiac that occur outside the digestive tract, these are extraintestinal symptoms of celiac disease. "Could I really possibly follow a gluten free life as close as I follow Jesus?"    Yes, He's been my constant companion and guide on this journey which has brought us to the forum so we can help others on their journeys.   References: Celiac Disease: Extraintestinal Manifestations and Associated Conditions https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6895422/ Psychiatric and Neurological Manifestations of Celiac Disease in Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9984242/#:~:text=celiac disease%2C a multiorgan disorder with,life [21%2C22].

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! You contacted them specifically about their certified gluten-free products, or which products specifically?  So out of all the finished batches of nuts, they only test one?! That seems suboptimally safe... Maybe I will have to try Tierra Farms too...

      First, I hope you know that celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disease reaction that is triggered by gluten consumption. Allergies don't trigger immunes responses whereby the body attacks it's own tissues but this is what is actually happening with celiac disease and what distinguishes celiac disease from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Second, though I think your question other question has already been answered. Since the tTG-IGA antibody test is only 90 to 98% specific, elevated values for this test will be have non-celiac disease causes in 2 to 8 out of 100 cases. I realize that is addressing your question in a general way but the non-celiac causes have also be covered in this thread, though not to  the granularity of giving percentages to each non-celiac cause. Not sure why that is important to you at this point. First, you need to separate whether it is due to celiac disease or not. If not, then start sorting out what the other cause is. But as I stated above, by far the most likely cause is celiac disease so that is the place to start. Sure, we get it. Having  to eliminate gluten from your life spells huge culinary and social changes and challenges. But it's still better than facing cancer or host of other diseases that less definitive antidotes and outcomes. With celiac disease you don't even have to worry about taking medications because, as of now at least, there are none. The treatment is very straightforward. Avoid gluten.
