    Sodium phosphate confuses me. I have seen posts that claim there may be cross contamination issues with the soaking solution. I have not been able to find out for sure. Since there is no nutrition in the solution-at least not to my knowledge - it might not have list gluten? Does anyone know?

    Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Main Street Magic Kingdom Popcorn and Mickey Ice Cream Bar I had vanilla Rice Dream "Ice Cream" at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. I'd never tasted it and wanted to give it a try. There has been some debate as to whether Rice Dream Ice Cream is gluten-free. As I mentioned earlier, this is where I was given a binder to check ingredients...

    Captain Cook's (Polynesian Resort) Hubby had Aloha Pork Sandwich - Pulled pork with BBQ sauce, pineapple cole slaw, cheddar cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes, served warm on a pineapple-coconut hoagie roll. Served with Polynesian chips. He enjoyed it very much and would have it again. I had a bacon cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun, with fries. I forgot...

    On another forum, a poster told me that all of the counter service restaurants at WDW have a binder that lists ingredients. I was not shown a binder until much later in the trip, at the Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street, MK. Until then, the manager would just tell me what I could or could not have. Very interesting . . . In fact, when I was finally shown...

    The Mara (Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo side) The Mara was an interesting mix of service. There is an Asian female chef who works some of the morning and early afternoon shifts (I am so sorry . . . I wrote down names and have misplaced them - if anyone knows please post!). She is knowledgeable and very careful to prepare everything separately. At other...

    Flame Tree BBQ (Animal Kingdom Park, Discovery Island) Flame Tree was a great meal. I had the BBQ chicken, which was even better than at Sunshine Seasons -- good taste and even jucier than Sunshine Seasons. I would have ranked it the best, except the crew there didn't really know if the baked beans or coleslaw were gluten free, so I avoided eating them...

    Sunshine Seasons (Epcot Future World, The Land Pavilion) In my opinion, Sunshine Seasons is the very best counter service restaurant in WDW -- it is so good it often equals table service taste. The seating area isn't as lovely as sit-down restaurants, but oh boy, the taste sure is! A chef came out promptly to walk me through everything. Basically, everything...

    'Ohana (Polynesian Resort) Chef TJ was outstanding! He has a great knowledge of gluten-free needs and is well-known for going out of his way to create special gluten-free meals. My meal was as wonderful as I hoped it would be.\ For those who are new to

    Kouzzina by Cat Cora (Boardwalk) My husband loved his meal. He had the slow-cooked Lamb Shank served with Oven-baked Gigantes Beans and Pepper Sauce. Dessert: Chocolate Budino Cake

    LeCellier (Epcot, Canada) We dined there twice and enjoyed it equally well both times. Frankly, I wasn't sure what to expect. There's been so much hype about this restaurant, that I thought it might disappoint us. We're from the Chicago area and used to some great steaks here. I am happy to report that Le Cellier was excellent! The first time...

    Citricos (Grand Floridian Resort, two dining credits) DH and I split a salad for openers: Goat Cheese Truffle Salad - Tomato, Cracked Pepper, and Sesame "Truffles" with Arugula, Frisee, Nueske Applewood Smoked Bacon, and Peaches We weren't thrilled with this salad. Hubby liked it more than I did. The greens were dry and lacked flavor. I expected more...

    Time out for a word about gluten-free breads at Disney Most of the rolls, buns, etc. are Glutano or similar. The problem is, the chefs have no idea how to successfully prepare them. They either put them in a dedicated revolving toaster or in the oven, and the darn things come out like hockey pucks. Warning: You might break a tooth or shoot your eyes out...

    Included here are general dining plan reviews on behalf of my husband (does not need gluten-free dining) and gluten-free specific dining reviews from me (I'm the gluten-free'er): Table Service: Sanaa (Animal Kingdom Lodge, Kidani side) Jiko (Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo side, two dining credits) Boma (Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo side) Citricos (Grand...

    Hi, Does anyone know if Wal-Mart's Raw Chicken Leg & Thigh Pieces are Gluten-Free -- the large bag they carry in the meat section? There are flavoring additives in the meat, and I saw on the web that the meat may not be gluten-free. Does anyone know for sure? Where did you get the information? Which store brands of raw chicken are safe? Does...

    They tested me for vitamin absorption and I believe they also did a CBC. I'm in the initial weeks of all this and have another appointment scheduled for November. I would guess that if they are going to look into other things, they would do so at that time. I'll let you know.

    I am so sorry that so many people suffer from this, yet I am very happy to hear I am not alone. I just got back from a Disney World vacation -- a wonderful, healthy gluten free week (I'm going to post a gluten free review as soon as I can), except on my last day, I made a horrible mistake. I ate a Divvies choc. chip cookie thinking it was gluten free...

    I have a call into Walt Disney World, but I have yet to hear back. Does anyone here know if the hot cocoa at WDW -- the cocoa served at the dispensing machines where the refillable mug is allowed -- is gluten-free? Thank you so much! We go this Friday and I am trying sooooo hard to find out.
  18. Lynayah
    Yes, thank you for posting this! In other threads a few people have told me the same. I will definitely ask my doctor about it at my next appointment in November.
  19. Lynayah
    Yes! When I did my gluten challenge, there were a few days toward the end when I would experience horrible sharp pain in my kidney area. It would almost cripple me . . . and then it would subside a bit after a while. Thank you for sharing this.
  20. Lynayah
    That's a really good point -- I thought that only with true Celiac malabsorption was an issue. I hope someone here will know for sure. Thank you!
  21. Lynayah
    Yes, it is indeed surprising. I'm so grateful to finally finding a possible link between my pain and what I eat. Wow.
  22. Lynayah
    Hoping more will post here.
  23. Lynayah
    Wow -- I must admit that I do not have your understanding of tests, etc., but I most certainly understand the rest. I am being beyond careful and treating myself as if I have Celiac, just to make sure all will be well. Thank you so much for your incredible information, and if you are ever willing to speak personally please email me through this website...
  24. Lynayah
    Great post, thank you. I believe you are absolutely correct, the medical community (even the more advanced part of the medical community) does not have all the answers. We here are in the forefront of what will eventually be a much greater understanding of Celiac. It is so sad that without there being a drug so the drug companies can profit, there is...

    I am beginning to realize that I should keep a notebook or spreadsheet of my dining experiences. I was thinking of going back to Golden Corral this weekend, and I almost forgot the manager's name. If I keep everything noted, I can remember the names as well as tidbits about the experience so I can give additional thanks. If I don't write it down...
