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.

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      Anyone else feel this way? Not only do I have celiac disease but a few food intolerances too. I can’t do dairy, soy, nuts (nuts is an actual allergy lip swelling need an EpiPen) , or eggs. I get stomach pain when I eat seeds, dairy gives me crippling pain, I only recently put together the hives when I eat  soy.  Family wants to go out and eat tells me the restaurant is gluten free but the gluten free bread has eggs or soy or they use the same prepping area as food with gluten in it. I’ve been slowly eliminating food trying to figure what my triggers were. It’s been 6 months since I’ve last had hives and joint pain after cutting out all the foods I listed above. But I can’t help but feel like a burden to everyone. They always heavily sigh when I refuse to eat from restaurants.  They encourage me to eat out but I’m only now starting to physically feel better. I want to give in so I won’t be such a burden. And ruin other people’s fun.  Going out on dates is a nightmare trying to explain to them what I can and cannot have they pretend to understand but I feel like it’s a turn off.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      When cooking pizza, first a regular (gluten-containing) pizza is baked in the oven. Before the gluten-free pizza goes in, the oven is wiped down with a cloth soaked in vinegar oil. Is this method safe for avoiding cross-contamination? Similarly, if gluten-containing bread is heated in a pan, and before gluten-free food is cooked, the pan is wiped with vinegar and oil—would this be safe for someone with celiac disease? I’m asymptomatic, so I can’t tell if I’ve been exposed to gluten, but I’m worried about the potential risk of malabsorption or long-term damage. Would everyone with celiac disease be affected by such small traces of gluten, or could this method be acceptable? Also I don't eat out anymore due to potential cross contamination. The only thing that could gluten me is the things I mentioned above and that my family is not completely glutenfree. Also I eat spices like pepper which say "could contain traces of gluten" (I live in Germany). Even if they contain traces of gluten, do you think it wold be more than 20mg or be enough to cause damage? I mainly eat glutenfree, my only risk is cross contamination. Do you think it could still cause damage to my small intestine leading to malabsorption? (my only worry as I never had symptoms even if I ate gluten). My blood tests for tTG-IgA (I get tested yearly) are negative, but I heard those are not reliable as it could be that they are only high if you ate lots of gluten.

      I would say I wasn’t on a gluten free diet but I’m not sure if I was consuming enough gluten before I took the tests. How long should I be consciously including gluten in my diet before I take the test?

      Was the blood draw made while you were still consuming regular amounts of gluten and had been doing so for at least a period of months? Getting blood antibody tests after already having embarked on a gluten free diet or even limiting gluten consumption will invalidate testing.

      In addition to regular lipid blood tests, I took some celiac tests last eeek and these are the results: 1. Celiac - Deamidated Gliadin IgG - 34.5 U/mL - Above range  2. Celiac - Deamidated Gliadin IgA - <1.0  - Normal 3. Celiac - Tissue Transglutaminase IgG - <1.0  - Normal 4. Celiac - Tissue Transglutaminase IgA - <1.0  - Normal 5. Immunoglobulin A IgA - 143 mg/dL - Normal What does the above results mean? What next steps can I take to diagnose if I have celiac or NCGS or something else?
