Hi all, my family and I are heading over to Orlando in August.  My 11 year old daughter has celiacs so I wonder if anyone has some advise on restaurant and fast food chains to head to that can cater for her needs please?  We last went in 2014 and came across some places were pretty clued up, although we went to Chicago in April this year and found the opposite!  There was hardly any choice and she spent most of the week trying to digest grilled chicken and veggies, not very appetizing for a child who loves fries, and especially hard when her pals were tucking into them!!

We are room only this year so I'm trying to be organised before our trip so we aren't wasting any holiday time searching for establishments that can offer a decent choice!

Thanks so much in advance :-)

If you are on Disney property, you should have no trouble.  Lots of gluten-free options.

Hi Kareng,

Unfortunately not!  We are staying at the Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando.  Thanks so much for the link though :-)

Are you on FAcebook?  There are some Orlando/disney groups.  

 

I don't know what the shopping and dining area is called that is outside of Disney but run by Disney?  It usually has a lot of good places for gluten-free.

Some American chains that you might find there and are known for good gluten-free practices -

Chick Fil A

Outback Steakhouse

PF Changs

Bonefish grill

REd Robin (fancy burgers, gluten-free fries)

Margaritaville

BJ's Brewhouse

Those are some I can think of right now.  You can hit a grocery and get a few things to munch - cereal and milk, boiled eggs, cheese and crackers, fruit, etc.  Some hotels have BBQ grills you can use.  Just get some foil or a foil pan to cook on.

Cooper's Hawk is a place we frequent often when we are in Orlando.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By trents · Posted

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.
