We are going to Legoland for our vacation this year. Anyone have any experience in this area of where to eat?

Thanks for the input!

I do. Bring your own food. You can bring food into the park for the people with Celiac. Other than that, you can leave your food in a cooler in your car. You can exit the park to "tailgate" if you get your hand stamped. I wouldn't eat anything prepared by the college kids working at legoland! They don't understand the whole Gluten thing, and if you trust them to not poison you...well.....it's your stomach!

Actually, we went only once, but they were very nice about needing to bring our son in his food. You could get a real jerk who tells you you can't bring food in, but put on your best "mom" voice and do what you need to do.

This isn't in Legoland but if you are in Oceanside (near the mall) there is a Mimi's Cafe which is a chain restaurant. They are very good about gluten-free. Don't have a specific menu but will accomodate your requests. It's not far off the highway.

I think it was celiac3270 who posted this link first. I go to San Diego about once a year so was happy to have this info. We used to always stay in Carlsbad (not far from Legoland) but now stay in Oceanside. It's a little to the north of Legoland.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Stephanie. I'll keep an eye out for Mimi's.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
