Hi all!
I've never posted on this particular board before, but DH read some things here before our last trip (January 16-22, 2011) and suggested I post here.
I have IBS and have a particular sensitivity to fats in food. It's not an allergy, I won't die if I eat fat, but too much fat and I'll be sick to my stomach for days. While I miss all those lovely higher fat foods (I can taste deep fried mozzerella sticks right now), I'm thankful that with the help and encouragement of my gastroentrologist I've learned to manage my illness.
After listening to the Disboards podcast about gluten allergies, it got me to thinking that I probably COULD manage my illness and still eat at WDW. DH made our dining reservations and made sure to list my "allergy" (that's how it's classified) on all of them. I followed up by emailing dining services and filling out the handy-dandy form that they emailed me. I was advised to ask to speak to a chef before ordering at every restaurant.
I have to report...I was delighted with almost all of our service!! We ate a total of seven table service meals. I'll go into more detail in my next post, but let me highly encourage EVERYONE who has ANY dietary need to take the step to email Disney and get your allergy/sensitivity listed with your reservation. It's so incredibly worth the time and effort. Or, at least, I found it to be worth it. Nothing than being sick on your vacay...if you can help it!
In the meantime, please feel free to PM me or reply in this thread if you have questions about where we ate, what I ate, and what kind of service we had. I'll get started soon on more detailed info.
