Hi all,

New to the message board and am looking for some help/ info on orlando. I am visiting with my 4 year old celiac son and will be staying in Davenport close to Disney.

I have read lots of the other postings which give some great info, I am particularly interested in eating out with my son who has a passion for fries !

I understand the risks with MD and BK but are there any safe fast food outlets ?

What are the latest thoughts on Denny's ? The fries are listed as wheat free has anybody got any experiances good or bad ?

What about supermarket shopping ? I did hear that Publix is better than Walmart is this true ? What is the food labelling like in the US is it accurate ?

I am leaving for my vacation on Friday morning from the UK so any info before then would be great.

I actually liked Walmart for food shopping more so than Publix. We were in Kissimee though. I dont know if all Publix are the same. If you are going to be eating in Disney, or any of the restaurants on Disney property, you can get something gluten free anywhere you go. All the fries in Disney, even in the fast places are gluten free and cooked totally seperate from other foods. As always, I would always check with the manager. I found out the hard way that the register people dont always know what you are talking about, just ask to speak to the manager, they are all knowledgeable about all kinds of allergies.

I hope this helps some.. outside the Disney restaurants, the usuals are always a good choice, Outback, Carrabbas and Chilis.

Thanks very much for your reply, I am a little concerned with the fast food stalls ( MacDonalds) since they surely use the same additive in their friers ? Are they safe for my son ? I am looking fwd very much to Disney I ave heard so many great things, fries would make my sons day.

I found out that the popcorn and the ice cream served in Disneyworld is gluten free. There is also a place in MGM that has gluten free pizza. Type in gluten free dining on the web and you will find some good info.

I personally didnt go for the McDonalds fries.. they have been in such a controversy I just wont take the chance, especially in Disney. That would be a lousy place to be sick.. and Disneys fries are really good!

We vacationed in Orlando in April and stayed in a rental home with a kitchen off Rt. 27. The nearby Publix was great: they had a section just inside the doors with gluten-free and other special diet foods.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including...

My doctor only tested me for TTG-AB-IGA and nothing else. My results were <0.5 out of <12u/mL. Im now believing that I wasnt eating enough gluten to have a response, no gluten challenge or anything. Does anyone know what tests I should ask my doctor to do? I want to be armed with information before I go in there again.
