I work in Hershey and live in Harrisburg.

The Hotel Hershey although pricey does have some gluten free items on the menu and they are labeled as such. The menu changes frequently so I could not tell you what exactly.

There is a Red Robin right next to the park, the staff is very understanding of allergies and I have had many great experiences there.

Across from the hospital where I work there is an Issac's and I have had good meals there as well. Their menu even states if you have allergies to let them know.

I cannot speak for inside the park since I actually don't eat when I am there.

Hope this helps.

Plus--off I-83, the Union Deposit exit there is an Outback and a Charlie Browns Steakhouse which both offer gluten free menus.

enjoy your trip to Hershey. Also, Hershey does cut its daytime schedule after labor day so make sure of hours before you head there.

It is $10 to park @ Hershey park now as well....

I stayed at the Hershey Lodge in May. They were great. They have a few restaurants within the Lodge that all have a gluten-free menu. The staff was very helpful (much like Disney). They knew what a gluten-free meal was and how to serve it safely.

The park itself did not a gluten-free menu.

Some stands had Utz potato chips,that's about it.

I just ate protien bars while in the park.

I would definitely go back again. I had no problems there and I am VERY sensitive.

Enjoy your trip.

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks
