:wacko: Hi was wondering if any one knows of any resturants that serve gluten free meals in orlando. We are going on holiday in August and would like to take our son out for meals without so much of the worry about what he is eating. We have been 2 times before but did not really have a positive response from staff when we said he had celiac disease, so still not really 100% on where the best places are to eat as a family. The last 2 times we have taken over a lot of his food from home but theres only so much stuff you can take with you and to be honest I think he was getting sick and tired of eating the same things over and over again, also does anyone know if any of the big theme parks do any gluten free meals sorry to be a pain but that would be wonderful for him if any do thanks every one from chelly. :D

Disneyworld is absolutely one of the best places in the world to eat gluten-free. Practically EVERY restaurant there can do gluten-free. Call the Disney dining number (you can look it up online) and talk to them about it.

I just returned from 10 days in Orlando. I did not go to Disney but downloaded the gluten free menu from Bahama Breeze which is on International Drive and ate there twice and ate at Chatam House Restaurant (wonderful). I understand that the Swan and Dolphin restaurant in their hotel will make gluten-free pancakes and french toast and all. I stayed at the Peabody and they made me wonderful meals with a great attitude. So great, in fact, that I am staying there again next year! Do not go to Texas D'Brazil as we had a function there and I called them beforehand and it was a no go. I brought my own instant hot quinoa cereal for breakfast and tuna in pouches and rice cakes and peanut butter for lunches and only ate dinner out.

Have fun! :)

Good link! Just to clarify since it took me a minute to find the celiac section...go to the left side w/ links and scroll down. I was looking for it on that main page. So the celiac section is here:

But there's also information on other allergies.

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
