I work in Hershey and live in Harrisburg.

The Hotel Hershey although pricey does have some gluten free items on the menu and they are labeled as such. The menu changes frequently so I could not tell you what exactly.

There is a Red Robin right next to the park, the staff is very understanding of allergies and I have had many great experiences there.

Across from the hospital where I work there is an Issac's and I have had good meals there as well. Their menu even states if you have allergies to let them know.

I cannot speak for inside the park since I actually don't eat when I am there.

Hope this helps.

Plus--off I-83, the Union Deposit exit there is an Outback and a Charlie Browns Steakhouse which both offer gluten free menus.

enjoy your trip to Hershey. Also, Hershey does cut its daytime schedule after labor day so make sure of hours before you head there.

It is $10 to park @ Hershey park now as well....

I stayed at the Hershey Lodge in May. They were great. They have a few restaurants within the Lodge that all have a gluten-free menu. The staff was very helpful (much like Disney). They knew what a gluten-free meal was and how to serve it safely.

The park itself did not a gluten-free menu.

Some stands had Utz potato chips,that's about it.

I just ate protien bars while in the park.

I would definitely go back again. I had no problems there and I am VERY sensitive.

Enjoy your trip.

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
