I have heard the same thing! They are super conscious of cross contamination issues, too. :) Have a BLAST!

I have only been gluten free since October of 2011, we went to Disney in February 2012. My first gluten free meal was at the Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner, when I made reservations ahead of time I asked them to notate gluten free, but failed to realize that dinner at this resturant was family style. NO fear, we were seated the cook came out introduced hisself and told me that the meat was served with stuffing on the same plate and he would make sure it was all seperated for me, he made me gluten free gravy and offered to make gluten free rolls, so while everyone enjoyed the items filled with gluten I had the same without, it was WONDERFUL!!! This is how the rest of our trip went, with the exception of downtown disney, there the cook did come out and talk to me, reassured me he would be the person to get my order when the waiter wrote gluten free on it and explained everything I could and could not have. So they didn't necessarily make anything special for me, but had many options. I spent 3 days there and never got any gluten (I have immediate DH when I get the smallest amount, so I would know quickly) Hope you have just as good an experience as I did!

Disney did a great job for me at their new resort in Hawaii. Make reservation ahead of time and you'll be well taken care of.

Have fun!

Disney is simply amazing for gluten-free. They have lists they will email you, plus if you speak to the manager when you arrive at any of the restaurants in the park they will bend over backwards to make sure you get safe food! I was served burgers on Udi's buns, fries out of dedicated fryers, gluten-free BBQ ribs, and the big smoked turkey drumsticks you see everywhere are safe and delish.

Make sure you go to Raglan Road Irish pub in Downtown Disney (make reservations for a table or you'll have an obnoxious wait) and get some gluten-free fish and chips or onion rings from their dedicated gluten-free fryer! :)

And my friend Chef Mike who has been a chef at Disney for 14 1/2 years says & I quote:

"Years ago Disney NEVER gave out their recipes Now you can buy Disney cook books!! The location I have been at for 11 yrs even prints recipes to hand out to the guest if and when they ask. If we don't have it handy there is a actual chef that we forward requests to that emails them to you. "

So when you eat that mouthwatering gluten-free Disney food you can ask for a printout of the recipe!!!!! How cool is that?

And Skylark ---- I just got the Raglan Road gluten-free fry batter recipe. I will post it this evening when I get a chance. YUM!

tongue.gifI'll start a new thread for it.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By NavyMom · Posted

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣
