Anyone know if there are any Restraunts in Disneyland that are Gluten free or allergy friendly?

I am on a strict, gluten free, soy free, corn free, and dairy free diet. strictly for the last 3 days and not sick for 3 days.

However I am planning a trip to Disneyland soon and want to be able to eat.. I can bring the enjoy life brand snack bars for a snack. but they don't let real food into the park, so i can't like make a sandwhich and bring it with me.

So i was wondering if anyone knew if Disneyland was allergy friendly???

Hi.

I've gone many times to DisneyWorld, and every restaurant within the parks and downtown Disney accommodates food for any kind of allergies. I believe is the same for any Disney park.

Call them and they help you with anything that you want.

Have fun

Best regards

Call Disneyland - and ask for "Chef Chris"...we talked to him directly before we went - and he is great. Any chefs at the Disneyland park will help you out. They deal with very sick kids who visit the park via the Make a Wish foundation, cancer kids who come on dream flights...

they will help you :)

Its the one place we have been since 2003 where we were away from home, felt safe with the food, didnt have to explain celiac etc. Even the buffets are set up to avoid cc - fruits on separate table / breads separate from potatoes, eggs..... etc-they request you use a clean plate at each section.

Kids were healthy and happy the whole time!

We went 2 years ago - so if chef Chris isnt there - someone else will be! They have a "master chef" and then chefs at all Disney restaurants - Even pizza places have chef who will whip up some rice pasta :)

Apparantly WDW has been onto the gluten-free thing for awhile.

You might visit this place for feedback from folks who've done it gluten-free.

I'm going in July, and wondered the same thing.

As others have responded, they are very accomodating. You also should have no trouble bringing your own food in. We went a year ago (pre-gluten free) and brought in a soft-sided cooler full of food each day (water, lunch and snacks). Security checks bags that are brought in before you can enter the park and we never had food confiscated. The cooler fit nicely under the rented stroller too. :)

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
