Hi - we are heading down to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, staying for 1.5 weeks. 4 in our family are celiac and we are in need of any tips for eating gluten-free while down there or if anyone knows of any restaurants that have gluten-free items in and around anaheim.

I live in Alberta, Canada and all my kids + myself are celiac. We seem to be having trouble with restaurants, but have come across the greatest "fastfood" restaurant.

ARCHIVED 4 Out Of The 5 Are Celiac?
ThePhilly's posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am new to this site, but what I've read so far, it seems very helpful. Here's our story. Son, 7, had been experiencing symptoms of celiac, but we tried removing lactose from his diet back in Sept 08. He seemed to be feeling better, but then around Christmas he got a lot sicker.
