Hi,

I live in England. We are going to Orlando in October with 2 children (age 7 and 9).

Can anyone recommend restuarants and restaurant chains that are good for

gluten-free food in and around Disney World and Universal in Orlando, Florida?

Many thanks,

:P

Hi Karen,

if you're in the MGM studios, you can buy plain turkey legs there. We just came back from the MGM studios this monday (4th of July) and Kathy and I (we're both celiacs) ate those turkey legs and didn't have any problems. It says turkey legs on the food vendor booth and it's near the "Tower of Terror" and the "Aerosmith Rollercoaster". But for your children I would only buy one turkey leg, cause these were "monster turkeys". I'm used to eating a lot and I had to throw half of it away unfortunately.

Fortunately, Disney is one place that takes allergies seriously. Are you staying/eating on Disney property? There is a # to call and also an email address that I will look up for you. They were very accomodating and at one restaurant they even made me a loaf of fresh,hot bread at the Italian restaurant right in the Magic kingdom. Most of the Disney character breakfast can do gluten-free pancakes or waffles...

Hi!

We are renting a house in Davenport, about 30 minutes drive from Disney.

I think it's near where the 27 crosses I4.

I know that there is an Outback Steakhouse in Orlando - they have a gluten free menu. The website allearsnet.com has a lot of information on dietary issues inside Disney World. They have every menu for every restaurant in all parks and hotels. They have a section for Celiacs with a lot of tips and restaurant specific information.

Hi!

I went to Orlando last year and the experience at Disney itself was great. When we got there, I called a number and set up reservations in both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. At both of those locations, they were ready to serve me and all times the chef came out to talk to me before ordering and even brought my food to the table. The experience was wonderful. The Liberty Inn (not sure of name) in Magic Kingdom even had a gluten free brownie for me when my husband was eating regular apple pie...which was great. Here is a link to the part of the website relating to the dining Open Original Shared Link . This page gives the phone number you can call when you get to Florida to discuss food allergies with someone at Disney.

Outside of Disney we made sure to eat at Outback Steakhouse Open Original Shared Link and there is an Italian place called Carrabas that has a location in Orlando and a gluten free menu on their website. Open Original Shared Link .

Hope this helps and have fun!

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
