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.

From their website:

"Guests with Gluten allergens can review menu ingredient listings on our website for gluten free options. 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:

Minetown: Open Original Shared Link

Craftbarn: Open Original Shared Link

Decades: Open Original Shared Link

Crustano: Open Original Shared Link

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

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
