A Great Day At Disney

Today, I went to a luncheon at the Disneyland Hotel. With 983 other people. I had heard that Disney was great with food issues, but had not tried yet. I called one week in advance and asked if they could accomodate me.

Absolutely they said! I started to give her the details and she very nicely said "No Maam, all you need to do is to notify your server upon arrival."

So, when I got there today, 2 minutes before the start, as she was serving salad dressing I told my server " I need a gluten free meal.' She thanked me, said she was on it, and before I knew it my salad was gone. I looked at her quizzically, and she said "this salad and dressing are not safe." In less than two minutes, in a ballroom with almost 1000 other diners, she brought me a beautiful arugula salad with vinegar and oil that everyone at my table envied.

The entree was a lovely frenched chicken quarter with au jus, baby carrots, pattypan squash, roasted potatoes and asparagus.

Everyone else got a crisp of some sort with creme anglais. I got the most beautiful dish of raspberry sorbet with blackberries and a GIANT plate of fresh fruits: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew. It was a stunning layout. And everyone was jealous. And all I said was "I need a gluten free meal." One time. And I got served with everyone else. And I didn't get sick.

This was a good day ;) I highly recommend Disney. It's like 3 blocks from my office. I am sure to return soon!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
