Hi, I am going to be going to Hershey Park very soon, in the next month or so. I was hoping someone would be able to give me an idea of what I can eat there. This is our first visit since my diaganosis. We always get the Pizza, but that is out!!! Never really looked around at the other items since the pizza was so good. Thanks to anyone that is able to help me.

From their website:

"Guests with Gluten allergens can review menu ingredient listings on our website for gluten free options. Gluten bread/rolls can be given as a replacement for non-gluten free rolls in the following locations: Minetown Restaurant, Craftbarn Kitchen, Decades and Crustano's. For gluten free rolls and bread please see a Food & Beverage team member."

Here are the links to the restaurants:

Minetown: Open Original Shared Link

Craftbarn: Open Original Shared Link

Decades: Open Original Shared Link

Crustano: Open Original Shared Link

Enjoy!!

I am from that area and I can tell you this.

Hotel Hershey-serves gluten free meals...listed on a menu, a little pricey and not really a place for children but I see kids there.

Red Robin--I have had nothing but good things to say about that place. It is located alongside the park. On HersheyPark Drive

Issacs which is away from the park a bit, is also good with allergies. I have had good things there.

Outback--not in Hershey at all, Union Deposit off I-83.

Festia Mexico is off of I-83 Paxton st exit. Just take 322 to I-83S and it's the first exit.

I love their fajhitas (no tortilla) and tacos.

What about anything within Hershey Park...not in Hershey itself?

I seldom go to Hershey Park, and when I don't stay long enough to eat. I am not even sure what is all to eat at the park. I usually buy dippin dots.

I do eat in the other places I listed because I work in Hershey and we often go out to lunch. I can help in that area.

There's a jewish market there. I can't remember the name of it, but it has a small list of gluten free items: hot dogs, potato chips, etc. Just be sure that they're planning on being open the day that you're going. I know they close for all Jewish holidays and some other days too. The same jewish market is at Dutch Wonderland and I always just get a hot dog no bun. Also, you're allowed to take in a small, soft sided cooler if you have allergies (or Celiac).

Hi Kim,

Hershey Park is amazing. Go to their website and type in "gluten free". They have three of the restaurants with gluten-free bread stored in their freezer, and you can come in ask for a sandwich or burger or whatever on gluten-free bread. They defrost it on a separate paper plate and hand it to you.

I keep kosher and have celiac, so I asked for a gluten-free bun without the hamburger, and they gave me this delicious gluten-free warm, defrosted bread. I was very happy.

You might want to call the particular restaurant before you go, though, and make sure they still have gluten-free bread. I think it's a case of, someone buys it, but do they remember to buy more when they run out?

Have a great time. I know I did.

Thank you everyone for all of your help. We have gone to Hershey Park many times, but I have never needed to worry about special food. This makes the idea of going sound much more fun. I can enjoy myself if I don't need to worry about where I will eat and how I will feel.

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Thank you, trents and knitty kitty! You have confirmed what I thought: Clean living from a gluten-free perspective has meant basic tests would show low-to-no antibodies. It was my doctor who was wondering if I even had it, based on these tests. He's not a gastro-doc, but otherwise a kind and competent doctor. He seems genuinely interested in what...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      @Kipman, Ask for a genetic test to determine if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease. Anemia, Thiamine deficiency and diabetes can each cause false negatives and low IgA. You may want to investigate these further with your doctor. Celiac Disease can occur with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, another genetic autoimmune disease. Ehlers...

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! You have to be consuming gluten for your body to trigger the autoimmune response and produce anti-gluten antibodies. If you're not consuming gluten, the autoimmune response is not triggered and you won't produce anti-gluten antibodies. Celiac Disease is genetic. Your genes don't change. You will always have...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just...

      Thank you, trents and knitty kitty!  You have confirmed what I thought:  Clean living from a gluten-free perspective has meant basic tests would show low-to-no antibodies. It was my doctor who was wondering if I even had it, based on these tests.  He's not a gastro-doc, but otherwise a kind and competent doctor. He seems genuinely interested in what it means to be celiac, and also seems only somewhat familiar with tests & protocols. Hey, at least he's open to learn. Me, I never had a doubt.  I just wondered if these tests indicate that I'm doing a good job and the answer is Yes.  Hooray! As for the concern over my high overall IgA, I recently injured myself helping a friend not die, and I have loads of inflammation in my lower back and hips at the moment.  Perhaps that is the source of the high IgA? Dunno.  I dragged a short 200 lb woman around her kitchen like a sack of potatoes as I repeatedly did the Heimlich maneuver (I am quite tall, so kinda had to pick her up). Successful after the 8th heave-ho, to our mutual relief. Good ol' Navy medical training came in good for something!  But later, after the adrenaline wore off, I was in paaaaain. I wonder if another source was that I recently had a bad cold, like to the point of taking a COVID test (neg), which knocked me on my butt for a couple weeks. The tests came just a couple days after I was symptom-free. Could that do it? My big takeaway:  I have done well in avoiding gluten.  So huzzah for that. Thank you both.

      @Kipman, Ask for a genetic test to determine if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease.   Anemia, Thiamine deficiency and diabetes can each cause false negatives and low IgA.  You may want to investigate these further with your doctor. Celiac Disease can occur with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, another genetic autoimmune disease.  Ehlers-Danlos is a connective tissue disease frequently seen in people who are double jointed or have stretchy skin.  This stretchy-ness can affect the digestive system.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27321543/

You have to be consuming gluten for your body to trigger the autoimmune response and produce anti-gluten antibodies.  If you're not consuming gluten, the autoimmune response is not triggered and you won't produce anti-gluten antibodies.  Celiac Disease is genetic.  Your genes don't change.  You will always have the Celiac genes whether you eat gluten or not.   Your negative tTg-IgA  shows that you are successfully keeping gluten out of your diet.  You are doing very well on that point, but you still are Celiac.  Be proud of your accomplishment!
