We recently traveled to Universal Studios and spent three days. Our  10-year-old daughter has celiac and is highly sensitive to cross contamination. We ended up going to the store and loading our mini fridge with breakfast and lunch items that we carried into the park with this. For dinners we had mixed success.  I would recommend eating outside of the park there are many restaurants near Universal Studios that have good reviews on Gluten Free dining and knowledgeable staff. The hotel restaurants were also a very nice option they weren’t as crowded  and the chefs could take time to make sure the food was prepared appropriately. Unfortunately we did not have success  inside the park or on the CityWalk. I think they are just too busy to really accommodate  needs. Many of them have gluten-free offerings but not celiac safe.

Unsure about universal studios, but in the case of Six Flags if you inform them of celiac they let you bring in a cooler of food and your own drinks as a medically required item. They do it for me and just stick the medical sticker on my cooler. Between my Celiac, and corn allergy nothing they serve or offer is safe for me.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
