I'm going there on Friday and I was looking at the website and it said no food is allowed into the park. My only other post-celiac disease park experience was Busch Gardens and they let me bring my own food in so I'm not sure what to do here. I sent an email asking about it and I might try calling them tomorrow but if you guys have any info I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

bremac,

If you live here in Texas which you don't, they have a previllion that you can sit and eat your own food

or

you could get a cooler ice chest leave it in your car it should stay cool enough until you need to eat your food, It can't get that hot in new england, not as hot as Texas

just a thought

Oh ya they also can stamp you hand to come back in

We have a Six Flags near us and we always bring our lunch in a cooler, leave it in the van, and have a tailgate party. The food inside is nasty and expensive anyway, so even my gluten eating kids would rather do this.

I'm sorry I can't help with Six Flags, but after 3 years of trying, I did finally get a list from Busch Gardens Williamsburg if you plan on going there again.

Even before I was celiac we brought picnic lunches, food at the park is just so much money. We either took it to the pavillion or we went to the car. They hand stamp you so you can come back in.

I think through the ADA they have to either be able to provide food for you OR allow you to bring your own food inside the park. Call customer relations and speak to someone about it. Look into the ADA first though so you are well enough educated about it to argue.

Thank guys! I think we're going to all bring our lunches (I'm the only gluten-free one) and go eat on the tailgate. They don't have a picnic area so I think that's our best bet. My doctor is writing me a note saying I need to have good with me at all times so I can bring a few snacks in. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, you're allowed to bring water in (woohoo!:P)

I'm assuming by your response that you called. Are we allowed to bring snacks and so forth in to Six Flags parks?

Yep. I emailed and called and was told I could bring in food for only myself. So I am just going to bring some gatorade and gluten-free pretzels to eat when I get whoozy (don't want to pass out in line for the roller coasters!!!) They said to explain to security about my diet and the guy on the phone said a letter from my doctor "wouldn't hurt" so I'm getting one of those too. Good grief, right?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By Peggy M · Posted

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
