Nice to know that Disney makes an effort to take care of people with allergies or special diets (like gluten free!):

I have been there twice since being diagnosed with Celiacs, and they were absolutely wonderful.  In most restaurants that "cater to gluten-free", you get a few sad looking options.  At Disney, they send the chef out to speak with you about the allergies and go out of their way to make sure that you are getting as good a meal as everyone else.  I was so impressed with their attentiveness.

That said, I find the snack kiosks and carts to be sorely lacking in options.  If you don't want to eat a bag of chips or a sad looking banana, you're out of luck.  They could do a better job.  We're going back to Disney in a month or so and I'm already thinking about what snacks of my own to bring.

At Disneyland I found even the "fast food" places to have gluten-free options.  They were awesome!

      Hi,  My daughter has reacted to casein and the symptoms are unmissable- totally gluten symptoms. Joint pain, nausea, intestinal spasms. This has happened ten months after we went dairy free along with gluten free post diagnosis. I am certain she is reacting to casein. We never did oats for the same fear. Not even going to try the Certified one.  It might be worth looking at the meds- xanthan gum, guar gum, and cellulose gum is also what she reacts to. I bet you’ll find them in every OTC for kids.  We have stopped using things like honey -!: ketchup as well. Basically anything coming out of a packet.  My daughter was diagnosed with >100 ttg. Five months later in was down to 13. But then she had literally no symptoms.    As time has passed she reacts to slightest of things. We have obviously stopped casein, we only needed it for butter, because almost every cooking oil has been prone to contamination for us. It’ll be interesting to see what her labs look like in June, which will be an annual antibody test. We decided not to test her at six months this time because I was certain she was reacting to many things . She is six now and was diagnosed at five. I cannot tell you how wrong the doc was when she said oh just don’t eat gluten and she’ll be fine. Doctors send ups packing like that. I wished it was as simple as that.    I hope your daughter feels better soon.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      I have been dealing with dermatitis herpetiformis as long as I can remember, as of the past 6 years I’ve been able to stay on a strict enough diet to have minimal flare ups, but recently I’ve ate gluten on accident and it has caused a horrible flare up, I’m currently on a strong dose of prednisone because I don’t have an official diagnosis and the doctor would only treat it as normal hives, does anyone have any home remedies to help with the intense itching, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
