We went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA this weekend and had the BEST time, and no one got sick! We had just a standard room which has a fridge and microwave (and easily sleeps 4-6 adults and 2+ kids). so we brought cereal and fuit for first thing breakfast for the kids, (adults hit the Starbucks ;) ). I had called ahead of time and talked to the head chef of the resort and he directed me to each of the restaurants and said to talk with the head chef of each restaurant and they would be knowledgeable on food allergies and help us on what to order. The brunch buffet was what scared me the most, but the chef walked me through the (huge) buffet, told me what was safe and what wasn't (but we still stayed away from the bacon and sausages just in case). They have an omlette station and large selection of fruits and yogurts, my kids were in heaven and my dh ate till he was stuffed. Not one stomachache in the place! We didn't end up eating dinner there, but the chef did say that he would separately cook whatever we wanted to ensure that there was no cross contamination. They were so great with all of us, we will definately go back!!! The water park was pretty amazing too :D

That place looks like it would be great fun. I am trying to convince my family to go there this summer.

Rachelle,

Sounds great! My family went to Great Wolf in Sandusky, Ohio, last summer (near Cedar Point). It was the first food-free vacation I had in my daughter's whole life. :D The head chef there personally cooked and walked us through the food also. They even offered to prepare us picnic lunches for Cedar Point! We ate big breakfasts at the buffet and came back to cool off in the water park and ate an early dinner every night.

I know this post is super old but it's still searchable on Google so I thought I would update it a bit. I went to Great Wolf in Grand Mound two years ago and while they were knowledgeable about gluten allergies and did what they could, I was left wanting. Especially after paying the exorbitant amount for the breakfast buffet. But I am planning on staying there again at the end of this month and I called them today just to see if anything was new, and oh boy is it ever. They now have kids sliders with gluten-free bund, hot dogs with gluten-free buns, mac and cheese with rice noodles, other types of gluten-free pasta for adult dishes, gluten-free tortillas for wraps, gluten-free waffles, french toast sticks, bacon, sausage, etc. I am so excited now I can't wait. Hope someone finds this useful!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
