Busch Gardens, Tampa And Port Charlotte

We are going to Tampa for 2 days - Busch Gardens, possibly a baseball game one night, then on to my brother's new house in Port Charlotte.

Any tips for restaurants in either area? Our hotel is just a mile away from Busch Gardens. Or local places to buy gluten-free foods?

Busch Gardens has a meal plan - does anyone know if they have many gluten-free options?

My son is the only Celiac in the family - he loves burgers, fries, pizza, tacos - pretty normal teenage stuff.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You're in luck, Sami's Bakery is on Busch Boulevard down the street from the park. I read online that they opened a restaurant as well. There is also Vital Bakery that is about a five minute drive from there. Hope this post doesn't reach you too late. Have a great trip. liz

We are already back, but we did find Sami's Bakery in my pre-trip research. My husband took our son there (he's the only Celiac in the family) and they came back with a small pan of brownies. I was laughing because it said it served 16, and was maybe 6 X 8 inches total, but then I took a small bite and it was so fantastically rich, a few bites with a big glass of milk was all anyone could take at one time. Good stuff!

I did not find a pizza place pre-trip (but found out about one later :( ), so I hauled a couple of homemade pre-baked crusts with freezer packs in our luggage, and made it for dinner at my brother's house.

Thanks for your post.

And yes - we had a great trip!

      Hi Scott, i think You misunderstand me i am confirmed seronegative celiac but i still feel shity. I do not eat GLUTEN or Lactose. I am on gluten diet for 1year now and i am still dropping weight and muscle and still feel shitty. I have done every possible test regarding abdomen... Does somebody anybody have similar or same situation....? Thank You

      Given that she had a weak positive tTg-IgA blood test for celiac disease, and she gets symptom relief from a gluten-free diet, she could be in a pre-celiac disease stage, and might develop full blown celiac disease (villi damage) if she continues to eat gluten. At this point, even though her biopsy is negative, she may want to stay gluten-free. As @trents mentioned, she likely has NCGS. 
    • Scott Adams
      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Have you had symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet? If so, you may be in the NCGS area. Also, are you eating oats, and have you tried cutting out dairy/casein?
    • trents
      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Scott thank you. Finally found the oreos and they are a winner.
