My daughter and I spent the weekend at Disney World in Florida.

I had heard that Disney is extremely accommodating, but now I've experienced it firsthand. I was impressed!

Overall.... it was a great experience. Whenever and wherever we ate, we first spoke with either a chef or a manager, and not ONE of them were any less than 100% fully versed on food allergies, gluten intolerance, and Celiac. Seriously! The cast members who were at the registers, however, were a different story...entirely.

Thankfully, when the word "allergy" is mentioned, the cast members are trained to automatically call for a chef/manager. And several even just handed us the "ingredients" book to look at while we waited for a manager.

We had plenty of options at our hotel (Pop Century) and several choices and options inside the parks, though...we only ate inside the Magic Kingdom. We had Pizza at Pinnochio's, burgers at Cosmic Rays, pulled pork sandwiches at Peco's Bills. The list goes ON!

The most awesome thing...however, was that we were able to walk into the Main Street Bakery and get brownies and cookies!! Granted, they were prepackaged - not fresh from the oven - but it was such a HUGE treat for both of us! The brownies were SOOOO yummy. I wasn't a fan of the cookies, but my daughter sure was!!!

All in all - it was a great trip.

We went to Disneyland shortly after I was diagnosed and I was in heaven! I thought it was awesome! I'm counting the days until we go back in Jan. '09!!!

Oh I'm jealous!! I love disney. I haven't been since going gluten-free, but I went with my cousins who have multiple anaphylactic allergies including nuts (peanuts and tree nuts), eggs, milk, and soy. The chefs are sooo well-versed in everything! They even made a special dessert for my egg-allergic cousin- it was like smores but with dairy-free dark chocolate. I can't wait to go back!

      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!

      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.
