I live about 20 minutes away, and I thought I would share some of the good places to eat. The best gluten-free restaurant is called The Storytellers Cafe. The chef comes out and gives you the option of mainly gluten-free pasta or pizza. I think there are a few other options also. It is located in the California Adventure Hotel. Although it is expensive to stay there, I would recommend it. I haven't tried their restaurants in Downtown Disney, but if you call ahead, most of those restaurants can make you something. I get cravings for candy sometimes :D and they have a really good candy store in Disneyland. I forget what it is called, but their ingredients are pretty clear. If anyone else knows of good restaurants/food, please write!!!

I have GREAT news!!! If you are thinking of traveling to Disneyland, or have a trip planned...let me share my findings!

We got back last night, and had a great gluten free trip!

We called ahead and recieved NO help. I was rather disappointed, until we arrived at the character breakfast at Goofy's kitchen and I asked to speak to the chef about my daughter's "special diet." The chef came out and offered my daughter gluten-free pancakes, waffles, fresh fruit, ham, blueberry or carrot muffins, and chocolate chip cookies. After telling him what she wants, he brought it out a few minutes later. He assured us the syrup was gluten-free, and he would be checking back with us again. His name was Chris and he said he is head chef for the restaurants in the Disneyland hotel. He also told us that the

Pizza Port in Tomorrowland will make a gluten free pizza (which she tried and devoured!), Buzz Lightyears restaurant in Tomorrowland has been instructed to carefully make a gluten-free burger with no bun. The Plaza Inn will make a gluten-free pasta dish with brown rice pasta, and he also told us about the storytellers Cafe in the Grand Californian hotel. My parents went to an Italian restaurant for lunch one day and asked for any gluten-free options, and she brought out a menu of gluten-free dishes. This restaurant is in California Adventure park, but I am not sure of the name.

Also, they will let you take food into the park, as long as it is already prepared (like sandwiches). Their reason is because they don't want people taking up picnic tables to make their own sandwiches.

So, after my daughter met her idol Mary Poppins, and ate her 1st gluten-free pizza, it was by far the happiest place on earth for her (and me, because I watched her smile light up!)

That's wonderful!!! Glad to see you and your daughter had a successful experience!

I went to the Storytellers Cafe the other day, and I had gluten-free pizza. I almost thought it was regular pizza, it was so good! Also, when they brought out bread for my friends, they brought me gluten-free bread and a chocolate muffin!!! I was ecstatic!! :D Actually, I am going again today for my mom's birthday.. can't wait!!

Just sort of reviving this thread because I wanted to say "thank you!", lol. I'll be going in a few weeks so needed some places and suggestions. I thought I'd done a search of the threads, but for some reason didn't see this one, so I posted a new topic. Thanks again!

Just so you know.. pretty much all of the restaurants in both Disneyland and California Adventure have something they can do for gluten-free.

Have fun!!!!

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
