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.

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.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
