Hello all,

My DD is going to six flags tomorrow and I plan on packing her lunch and dinner but am wondering if there are any food or snack options . Springfield Ma. six flags

ANyone have any actual experience at this Six flags?

She is going with another family so I cannot check out the options myself and I have not had luck getting thru via phone to informative people there.

The only thing I know about the food at 6 flags is that outside food is NOT allowed in the park, you have to go through the easy process of leaving your park, getting your hand stamped, then returning through the proper gate. You must eat outside food in the parking lot. They won't even let you bring in a water bottle. I tried last summer, when it was over 90 out and I take a medication where you need to drink tons of water and I still wasn't allowed to take it in since they sell water in the park.

I have not been to that specific park but i have been to two others and neither had any gluten-free options

also even though you are not allowed to bring food into the park you can get a dr note and they will let you bring in food (did this for a class trip when i wasn't alowed to leave the park) and then you can get a locker inside to store the food in until lunch. I would make sure that the family she is going with is well aware of how strict of a diet she is on so they don't offer her unsafe things.

best of luck

Update:

Six flags New England offers 2 gluten free foods :dippity dots and soft serve ice cream , lol

i was told no problem bringing food into park for Celiacs as they have no alternative food options.

The family is very much aware of the issue's and even caught a mistake I made this past summer, SO I know she won't be getting anything unsafe. Just stinks she is only one bringing her own food for dinner, all 6 of the others will be eating there.

Oh well the rides should make it worth it.

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
