Sesame Place

We're going to Sesame Place next week so I called to get info about their food options. I spoke with Diane Jones who sounded very knowledgeable about the gluten free diet and cross contamination. She said all beef hot dogs and hamburgers (can get a cheeseburger) are available, as well as a plain piece of grilled chicken. Diane said to alert the staff about the need for a fresh hot dog/hamburger due to a dietary restriction so they know to get one that hasn't touched a bun. The cafeteria style set up sounds like you'd be able to watch the staff prepare the food for you. gluten-free sides include fruit salad or Musselman's applesauce. Diane also read me the ingredients for their soft serve ice cream (it's gluten free) and mentioned thet Dippin Dots are sold there but the company can't guarantee gluten free status despite their ingredients sounding ok. She also said you can take in a soft sided cooler (no hard coolers), just let park staff know it's for dietary restrictions. This sounds good...has anyone had any actual experiences at Sesame Place? Any other tips going to an amusement park gluten free? We've only done Disney with DD, and they are very accomodating. Thanks!

I live near Sesame. . I haven't tried to go to the park since gluten-free, but there are some restaurants right nearby that can accommodate the diet if you want to branch out from the park itself. Behind the park is the Oxford Valley Mall - all of these restaurants are in the "circle" surrounding the mall. Chili's is across the street.

Red Robin, Cheeburger Cheeburger (I usually order a "make your own salad" w/ grilled chicken), Cheeseburger in Paradise (I'd be careful, here, this location has glutened me several times), Chick Fil A, Chili's, Uno's, Charlie Brown's Steakhouse.

They all either have a gluten-free menu, an allergy list, or knowledgable folks.

Enjoy your time at the park!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
