HI

My dad and I are thinking of going to Cedar Park in Sandusky Ohio. I was wondering if anyone has been there and might know about any food they have that is gluten free or if I should prepare all my own.

Thanks,

Googles

Hello,

I haven't been there since I went gluten free, but I've heard there are some gluten free food options there. There is some information on their website Open Original Shared Link. It doesn't look like a whole lot of options, but depending on what you like, it might get you by, especially if you bring a few snacks of your own. Have fun if you go!

Having worked there for 2 years and seeing food operations first hand, there are going to be cross contamination issues if you are extremely sensitive.

Ahhh...memories :D We used to go to Cedar Point almost every year--it's about a 3 hour drive from here. Now, I'd much rather lie on a beach and read a book, then get whiplash on a ride ;)

I haven't been to Cedar Point in years, so I'm not sure what is around there lately but google restaurants near it and you may even find an organic eatery?? The best thing you can do to prepare for your trip is to research ahead of time. Are you planning to stay overnight? If so, check the internet for nearby restaurants close to your hotel. There are several large chains like Outback that have gluten-free menus available. If not, call guest services at your hotel and at Cedar Point to speak with the chef of the local eateries. Explain your needs and discuss their willingness to offer gluten-free food prep options, llike a hamburger no bun (cooked in a freshly sterilized saute pan if necessary). Most are willing to work with you. You could order a salad, no croutons. Ask in advance what brands of dressings they use. A baked potato is OK. Bring fruit or gluten-free cereal, or bars for breakfast. People are more health conscious in general, I think, so finding a yogurt on the run is pretty easy.

Let us know what you find out!! My little one will surely be asking to go soon enough.

So I'm back from my day trip to Cedar Point. It went mostly well. The only problem was that I didn't really trust the cooking because of CC. I couldn't see them prepare my food. Since then I have been feeling intermittently dizzy. I don't know if that is from the rides or from some new glutened symptom (no gi problems). I just ended up eating food bars I took with me. Though when we went to customer service the person was really friendly and had a list for us of what should be gluten free.

You can try guest relations or the food service office, but you'll pretty much just get the standard list of what's supposed to be gluten free and that's about it. They are not particularly helpful in any guest relation respect to begin with, and food has been a touchy area for several years for people with many kinds of diet issues. The reason I said what I did is because I know that the food service workers are pretty much teenagers who don't really want to be there or care about being efficient, attentive to details, or bothered with any changes or special orders. Knowing how sensitive some people are, I try to warn people when I can.

There are no organic places to eat anywhere near CP, it's a very small midwest town with the majority of the restaurants along Rte. 250. Last time I was up there, there was a Quaker Steak and Lube (but experience has taught me you have to be extra careful to be very clear to them when you order. My DH ordered boneless chicken wings off of the gluten-free menu and they still put a pita on it.), and most other chain restaurants. There is a Wal-Mart and a Meijer on the same strip, you might be able to find some gluten-free foods there if you take want to take a cooler of safe foods with you. And to be brutally honest, it'll probably be much cheaper to take your own food and taste better. The park food has pretty much sucked for about 4 years and is way more expensive than it should be for that quality.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
