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

Enjoy!!

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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
