My daughter and I spent the weekend at Disney World in Florida.

I had heard that Disney is extremely accommodating, but now I've experienced it firsthand. I was impressed!

Overall.... it was a great experience. Whenever and wherever we ate, we first spoke with either a chef or a manager, and not ONE of them were any less than 100% fully versed on food allergies, gluten intolerance, and Celiac. Seriously! The cast members who were at the registers, however, were a different story...entirely.

Thankfully, when the word "allergy" is mentioned, the cast members are trained to automatically call for a chef/manager. And several even just handed us the "ingredients" book to look at while we waited for a manager.

We had plenty of options at our hotel (Pop Century) and several choices and options inside the parks, though...we only ate inside the Magic Kingdom. We had Pizza at Pinnochio's, burgers at Cosmic Rays, pulled pork sandwiches at Peco's Bills. The list goes ON!

The most awesome thing...however, was that we were able to walk into the Main Street Bakery and get brownies and cookies!! Granted, they were prepackaged - not fresh from the oven - but it was such a HUGE treat for both of us! The brownies were SOOOO yummy. I wasn't a fan of the cookies, but my daughter sure was!!!

All in all - it was a great trip.

We went to Disneyland shortly after I was diagnosed and I was in heaven! I thought it was awesome! I'm counting the days until we go back in Jan. '09!!!

Oh I'm jealous!! I love disney. I haven't been since going gluten-free, but I went with my cousins who have multiple anaphylactic allergies including nuts (peanuts and tree nuts), eggs, milk, and soy. The chefs are sooo well-versed in everything! They even made a special dessert for my egg-allergic cousin- it was like smores but with dairy-free dark chocolate. I can't wait to go back!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Janet McAlpin! Using the gluten-free label doesn't mean there is 0 gluten in a product. It means there is <20ppm of gluten according to FDA standards. So, it is not surprising that there is some gluten in this product. What is the sensitivity of the ELISA test you are using? And the NIMA device has a reputation for giving erratic results.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all, I have been using Elisa tests to slowly go through many ingredients in my kitchen to confirm they are gluten-free. Today, after eating Bob's Red Mill TVP, I didn't feel great. I decided to test it and the result found gluten. I am going to test all the Bob's Red Mill products I use regularly with the Elisa tests. I have found them to be quite accurate. I also use NIMA and can't wait for them to be back! I'll keep you posted! Janet

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/
