Universal Orlando - City Walk Rocks!

Just got back from Florida vacation, and we had some great restaurant meals...

City Walk at Universal Orlando - Hard Rock Cafe and Margaritaville

Hard Rock Cafe - 4 years ago they had no gluten-free menu, and limited knowledge. My son had a steak and dry salad, no french fries. This time I mentioned gluten-free and the manager came to our table explaining all the things they could prepare gluten-free - it took at least 5 minutes and included steaks, fish, chicken, ribs, wings, and woo-hoo - french fries from a dedicated fryer.

Margaritaville - last time their head chef called me and asked what special arrangements they could make for us, which were a cheeseburger with gluten-free bun, fries, and a gluten-free brownie sundae. This time all of those things are right on the menu!!! They now have a gluten-free menu, but items which can be provided gluten-free are also indicated with gluten-free symbol on their regular menu.

Nearby in Orlando, enjoyed gluten-free pizza at Uno's Chicago Bar & Grill. (We tried to find gluten-free pizza 4 years ago, but were unsuccessful.)

And we made a side trip to Ft. Myers and ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise, great cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun - small upcharge for the bun, but my son got his money's worth with the bottomless french fries. :D

It was so wonderful to see DS eat and enjoy what he wanted to eat at these restaurants. The rest of us did not eat gluten-free but had excellent food as well, and these places are unique and it's just fun to soak up the atmosphere - what a great vacation!

Cool! Thanks for the info! I live in Tampa and we go to Orlando every few months or so. It's nice to know that I won't have to pack a lunch. :P

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
