Gluten-free Day At Hersheypark

For those of you within travelling distance of Hershey, PA, the GIG Harrisburg Chapter is sponsoring a Gluten-Free day at HersheyPark on July 30th. Your admission price gets you into the park AND a catered gluten-free picnic lunch. I got the flyer from a celiac friend up the street (it's a very small world) so I might not have the sponsor correct; it doesn't actually say! Anyway, if you'd like contact information for tickets, you can email me off-list and I will send it to you

oh oh oh! My father-in-law was just saying how he'd like to go there!

I think that would be quite a drive though. At least 4 hours or more. I'd really like to see amish country too. I'll see what I can find out about the travelling distance for us......

thank!-donna

Ooooh, we have to do this, too! My birthday is at the 26th. I could celebrate it then even better. And at the 21st I'm one year glutenfree. Woah, how the time passes. We guys could actually meet there. We will have a blast!!! :lol:

Does anyone else drive a Jeep? Camp Jeep is going to be in Penn. this year. The start date is shortly after the gluten free day at Hershey's. I'm checking to see what kind of gluten free foods might be avilable for camp jeep. Chrysler does a great job with this there is a family atmosphere, driving lessons, entertainment, crafts, activities of all kinds.

What is meant by "gluten-free" day at Hershey Park? Never having done this before, and I am sure others have same questions, what is there that's gluten-free? What should be expected going on that day there? Are all the restaurants gluten-free? Is there a website that will explain all of this?

Ryebaby0 sent me this email about it:

The information on the flyer says to contact Jennifer Young at:

jenniferyoung@hotmail.com

for more information. She can give you the address to send the payment, which for people 9-54 (and judging from your photo, you must be in there!) is $36.75 before April 30 and $41.75 by June 30th. The menu is Beef BBQ sanwiches, hot dogs and BBQ chicken, assorted picnic salads, gluten-free desserts and beverages ALL gluten-free.

Stef- my bday is in July too!! That would be awesome if some of us could get together there

Wow, that's need. My student who also has celiac will come with me and some of my team-members. They are very aware of this disease thanks to me, even though they don't have it. I kind of pounded it into them. Hayaa! No, just kidding! Yeah, that would really be great, if we could meet. And since my birthday this year is the last one with a 2 in front of the other number I definitely wanted to celebrate. Cause I think next year I will be depressed :P . I will mail this Jennifer right away.

stef-the-kicking-cuty Enthusiast

I just mailed her and the mail came back to me. Is this e-mail right?

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

I don't know I haven't emailed her...I'm contacting Hershey directly for it....Talk to ryebaby0...she sent me the email with the email address and knows more about it then I do.

      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! 🫶
