Hi, I am going to be going to Hershey Park very soon, in the next month or so. I was hoping someone would be able to give me an idea of what I can eat there. This is our first visit since my diaganosis. We always get the Pizza, but that is out!!! Never really looked around at the other items since the pizza was so good. Thanks to anyone that is able to help me.

Gluten bread/rolls can be given as a replacement for non-gluten free rolls in the following locations: Minetown Restaurant, Craftbarn Kitchen, Decades and Crustano's. For gluten free rolls and bread please see a Food & Beverage team member."

Here are the links to the restaurants:

I am from that area and I can tell you this.

Hotel Hershey-serves gluten free meals...listed on a menu, a little pricey and not really a place for children but I see kids there.

Red Robin--I have had nothing but good things to say about that place. It is located alongside the park. On HersheyPark Drive

Issacs which is away from the park a bit, is also good with allergies. I have had good things there.

Outback--not in Hershey at all, Union Deposit off I-83.

Festia Mexico is off of I-83 Paxton st exit. Just take 322 to I-83S and it's the first exit.

I love their fajhitas (no tortilla) and tacos.

What about anything within Hershey Park...not in Hershey itself?

I seldom go to Hershey Park, and when I don't stay long enough to eat. I am not even sure what is all to eat at the park. I usually buy dippin dots.

I do eat in the other places I listed because I work in Hershey and we often go out to lunch. I can help in that area.

There's a jewish market there. I can't remember the name of it, but it has a small list of gluten free items: hot dogs, potato chips, etc. Just be sure that they're planning on being open the day that you're going. I know they close for all Jewish holidays and some other days too. The same jewish market is at Dutch Wonderland and I always just get a hot dog no bun. Also, you're allowed to take in a small, soft sided cooler if you have allergies (or Celiac).

Hi Kim,

Hershey Park is amazing. Go to their website and type in "gluten free". They have three of the restaurants with gluten-free bread stored in their freezer, and you can come in ask for a sandwich or burger or whatever on gluten-free bread. They defrost it on a separate paper plate and hand it to you.

I keep kosher and have celiac, so I asked for a gluten-free bun without the hamburger, and they gave me this delicious gluten-free warm, defrosted bread. I was very happy.

You might want to call the particular restaurant before you go, though, and make sure they still have gluten-free bread. I think it's a case of, someone buys it, but do they remember to buy more when they run out?

Have a great time. I know I did.

Thank you everyone for all of your help. We have gone to Hershey Park many times, but I have never needed to worry about special food. This makes the idea of going sound much more fun. I can enjoy myself if I don't need to worry about where I will eat and how I will feel.

Kim

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
