:) Hi evreybody, I know I,ve read in this forum about great experinces about eating gluten free in Disney world and the other theme parks, but I didnt imagine that was so easy an affordable too!!

Let me tell you my experience in case that sombody can use it:

Over the weekend we went to Magic kindom a Epcot , we took with us a cooler with snaks (like cheese, eggs and franks just in case). they do check your bags for security reasons, but there was no problem coming in with that.

We ate in 2 different restaurants (the affordables ones) and in each one I asked to talk to the manager and he came out with a book that said all the ingredients of their foods and they were very well educated about gluten free foods. In one place we order the gluten free pizza (same price $5.75 and look like the regular one) The manager after he spoke to us, went to the kitchen and order the pizza there for us. In the other one they offer us hamburguer with gluten free bread.

im happily sorprised!!

I had just posted this question on a Disney board I belong to as we are planning a spring trip! Someone also said that there is a bakery on Main Street, USA that sells gluten free cookies & brownies! It sounds like they are very knowledgeable about it and willing to work with you.

I just returned from Disney in Oct and was told, that at any resort, whether you are staying there or not, as long as they have an independant bakery in the hotel, they can make you gluten free cakes, cookies and all kinds of goodies.

Those resorts that the chef mentioned were The Polynesian, The Grand Floridian and I do believe the Contemporary. The higher end ones. And they will send these goodies anywhere you desire.

That came from a chefs mouth at the Italian place on the right when you first walk into the Magic Kingdom.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, we are hoping to go again next year... its nice owning a place there! makes it a bit cheaper for us to go now.. lol

and FeedIndy, you are right they do have in that main street that bakery that sells the "It's OK" brand of Brownies and one like rice crispies cake that are gluten free ($2.50 each).

Okay so you guys are gonna remember this for me when I go back next year.... ( You guys asked me to call Disney and I never got too.... ) So EPcot.. and the main street bakery.... Well that makes me feel better. I would honestly think that throught all of Disneys trials and truibilations ... that they would try to accomodate everyone to have as much fun as the average 7 year old... I am glad. now that real food is starting to come to my dinner table ... these issues are going to be a bigger deal than they allready are.

I just got back from Disneyworld on Saturday. We stayed at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter (one of the medium priced Disney property hotels). They only had a food court (not a sit down restaurant), and I found them to be EXTREMELY helpful!!!

Whenever I ordered anything I asked for help with a special diet...they'd call out the chef who went over everything they could make for me. I had gluten/dairy free pancakes which were HEAVENLY!!! They even gave me some small individual jars of pure maple syrup to make sure I didn't get sick from the regular syrup.

I also had a hamburger on a gluten-free bun. Their fries are made in a dedicated fryer, but they made mine in the back just to make sure it didn't come into contact with anything which could contain gluten. THey said they could have made me gluten/diary free pizza, brownies, waffles, pasta, etc. And, that was all at the food court!

I was so excited to have pancakes, which I haven't had in years, that I never tried the other stuff, lol! The whole experience was FANTASTIC!!!

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
