Dutch Wonderland

For those of you who may travel to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA, I thought it would be useful to know that if you have special dietary needs you may bring your own SMALL bag lunch to eat within the park. They do search your bags, but just let them know ahead of time that you have celiac disease. Also, there's a food stand within the park (Kosher Food Mart) that has a tiny gluten free menu. That was very helpful to us before we knew that we could take food into the park since I have celiac disease. Enjoy!

On a side note, the park is a lot nicer than it was a few years ago. I take my daughter quite a bit (we made it out there 4 times this week). It's our favorite place to go to have fun.

I'm so happy to have seen your post today. I am booking a trip to Lancaster for July. I will be staying at Willow Valley. Do you know of any other safe places to eat. I have celiac disease, everyone else doesn't so it's only me that needs a safe place to eat. I was just going to bring lots of my own gluten free foods as I have done a previous trips. Any information would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results?

      I did start a new thread but here are the results with the modifications in case anyone wants to reply in this thread also. Thanks for any insight. I’m pretty sure I’ve got my answer but support is always welcome. Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgA (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 21.0 Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgG (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 19...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      Thanks for the reply. I was assuming my score was pretty high and I was probably looking at a diagnosis. Do you think being 10x the upper limit signifies anything I should be more concerned about? I know they don’t use ‘stages’ anymore but would this indicate it’s pretty bad or not necessarily? I just don’t know how to interpret what that number could mea...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      It sounds like you’ve noticed a clear connection between gluten exposure and your Afib episodes, which is really important insight. While it’s understandable to hesitate about medication if it feels like it might mask your symptoms, your cardiologist’s concern likely comes from wanting to protect your heart from potential risks, even if Afib is triggered inter...

      Yes, all your test scores point to celiac disease. I think this is the first time I have ever seen all positives on a full celiac panel. But then, seldom do do physicians order a full celiac panel. Many or most will only order the TTG-IGA. By the way, your score for that one at 128 far exceeds 10x the upper limit of normal. In Europe, many doctors would grant...

I just don’t know how to interpret what that number could mean. It’s all kind of scary when I see how high it is compared to the norm.

      It sounds like you’ve noticed a clear connection between gluten exposure and your Afib episodes, which is really important insight. While it’s understandable to hesitate about medication if it feels like it might mask your symptoms, your cardiologist’s concern likely comes from wanting to protect your heart from potential risks, even if Afib is triggered intermittently. Have you considered discussing a middle ground—like monitoring your heart more closely or exploring whether certain medications could act as a safety net without completely hiding gluten exposure symptoms? Either way, your awareness of how gluten affects you is valuable, and hopefully, you and your doctor...

In Europe, many doctors would grant you an official diagnosis of celiac disease on that alone. And diagnosing on high TTG-IGA scores alone is very slowly gaining traction in the USA. But don't make the mistake of starting a gluten free diet until all testing for celiac is done. It is likely that your doctor may refer you for an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the antibody...
