Six Flags Magic Mountain (Socal)

Has anyone been to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles recently?  Their website has a list of all of the eateries in the park and one, the "Cyber Cafe," says they have "gluten free items like cheese lasagna, pasta with meatballs, fudge brownies, and muffins."  Has anyone eaten there?  Do they really have those things?  What about cross-contamination?  I plan to call or email them for more information, but I also want to know anyone's personal experiences.  I'm so used to Disneyland being a safe haven for gluten-free food that I fear they've spoiled me for other theme parks.

I haven't been there in years, but I'm sure their gluten free items are pre-packaged/frozen.  In that case, you might be better off bringing your own muffins or brownies as 1) they'll taste better and 2) you'll save cash!  Let's face it, Magic Mountain isn't on the same level as Disneyland.  I'd be concerned about  cross-contamination.

I was curious, so I looked at their website.  I wouldn't wait until I got there.  I would email first.  If you have a doctor's note that might help.  Just bring in the basics that you couldn't get safely at the park.  Meaning- buy the drink or the Skittles at the park.

Thanks for the replies.  Spending the cash on the food isn't too much of an issue if it's going to make eating there a bit more convenient.  Giving them a call is something I'm planning on doing anyway.  I was really looking for any recent personal experiences at the park regarding their supposedly gluten free food.  I had hoped to not have to rely on snacks the entire day or have to leave the park mid-day for an actual meal (I don't do well without at least one full meal a day).  Eating out is always a calculated risk.  I don't have a reaction to minor cross-contamination, but blatant, not-even-trying is what I want to avoid.

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
