I am going to Disneyworld with a very large group from my husband's family. We sat down today to figure out what restaurants we all want to go to and coordinate who wants to go where. (There's about 30 of us going).

My question is, for those that have been to Disney, which would you recommend: O'Hana or Biergarten?

I've read a lot of positive reviews about O'hana but not much on Biergarten. There are a bunch of people that want to go to Biergarten 1 night, but was hoping to get some feedback before I commit.

We went to Biergarten last year and really enjoyed it. If I remember correctly, about 1/2 of the buffet items were gluten free...the chef walked me through the buffet and discussed each item. My husband and I were suprised by how many of the items we enjoyed. I can't remember exactly what was/wasn't gluten-free since DD3 is the only one who has celiac and she isn't into sausages and other German foods. They also gave DD gluten-free mac n cheese (Amy's I think) and a gluten free roll (Ener-G dinner roll and it was pretty good). The buffet desserts weren't gluten-free from what I remember, but they did bring DD a gluten-free brownie (French Meadow Bakery). I am not sure if they (or anywhere in Disney World) serves gluten-free beer...beer is a big thing at Biergarten. However, the atmosphere of Biergarten is great--live music/show every 30 minutes. We went down to the front and danced--I think it would be a great place for a big group so you can chat with other members of your group during dinner. We went to 'Ohana about 3 years ago and the food was very good, but it was before DD was diagnosed, so I don't know how gluten-free-friendly it would be. I would definitely recommend Biergarten for you based on the gluten-free options and the atmosphere. Have fun!

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
