Disneyland Half Marathon


AshleyE

Recommended Posts

AshleyE Apprentice

I am doing the Disneyland Half-Marathon this year, it will be the farthest I have ever run. My question is this: My husband and I are going to be away from home and staying in a hotel for three days. Does anybody have any suggestions of what or where to eat in the Disneyland area? We have spent a lot of time down there, but the only restaurants we've ever eaten at outside of Disneyland are Denny's and Red Robin. I know that Red Robin has a gluten-free menu, but salad won't exactly cut it when I have to run 13.1 miles, and unfortunately I can't stand hamburger.

I would love to be able to bring and cook my own food, but that's kind of hard when you're staying at a hotel.

Most hotels either have small refrigerators or will let you rent/borrow one. It might be worth bringing some basics.

Inside Disneyland there are lots of places to eat. Do a quick search on this sight and you'll get lots of info.

Good luck at the 1/2 marathon. That's going to be my next challenge.

I have a friend who's running it, and will be down in the area that weekend! :-)

There's a Buca Di Beppo (which has gluten free items) nearby to Disneyland, and, I think, an Outback. (My first apartment in the area was just down the street, the apartment I last lived in for five years was 20 mintues away.) There's a great raw/vegetarian place in Fountain Valley, Au Lac, that's got a number of interesting options. There's PF Changs in Long Beach, and Parker's Lighthouse (talk to them, they can help you) in the same area on the pier (pricier, seafood restaurant).

Good luck!

Thanks, I think there is an Outback is right across from our hotel. We are staying at the Holiday Inn in La Mirada. I had completely forgotten about it. I'll definitely check out Bucca Di Beppo.

HI. I'm running the race as well and was recently diagnosed with Celiac. In fact I ran NYC yesterday and I now know I need to learn a bit more about nutrition and distance racing. I cashed hard at 22 miles. I plan to bring all my own food for the night before. We have a kitchenette where we're staying.

Good luck!

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
