点评:My 8 year old daughter has a condition called coeliac disease (celiac)
This is an autoimmune condition which means if she eats gluten her immune system starts attacking her lower intestine, which can cause all sorts of problems, some of which can be very serious.
Since her diagnosis trying to have normal days out have been increasingly difficult, as being coeliac means her tolerance to gluten is basically zero. To the point where if she handles a normal slice of bread then licks her fingers afterwards its enough to set off an immune response and make her very poorly.
Through lack of awareness (nobody's fault), on a normal trip out when we ask for gluten free options people assume we are asking because it is a dietary choice and more often than not there are very very few options my daughter can have, and more often than that her not actually being able to eat these items due to cross contamination with other foods.
This all leads to my daughter getting quite upset and feeling very singled out, which is very upsetting as a parent because she never asked for this condition and just wants to be like her friends.
We visited astrabound for her friend's birthday party, we phoned in advance and asked if there we any gluten free options available. We were told there was actually a gluten free menu. So we bit the bullet and didn't bother taking our daughter her obligatory pack lunch.
I went to order her some food at dinner time and was absolutely blown away by the HUGE amount of options available to her! And they even had a separate fryer and food preparation area for coeliacs, so we didn't even need to worry about cross contamination!
It was absolutely wonderful to finally see her tucking into a meal with her friends like her condition didn't even exist!
Having something to eat at a soft play area my seem like a trivial issue for most families but for us this was a monumental win.
So I have to send out my sincere thanks to the staff and owners for making these options available for my daughter.
She had a fantastic time with her friends and a fully belly at the end of it. We couldn't ask for more!
Highly highly recommended for any coeliac families out there, for a fun and "normal" day out.
We will 100% be returning
Many thanks from one happy Dad 🙂
翻译:我 8 岁的女儿患有乳糜泻 (celiac)
这是一种自身免疫性疾病,这意味着如果她吃麸质,她的免疫系统就会开始攻击她的下肠,这可能会导致各种问题,其中一些可能非常严重。
由于患有乳糜泻,她对麸质的耐受性基本上为零,因此她想要过正常的日子变得越来越困难。如果她拿着一片普通的面包,然后舔手指,就足以引发免疫反应,使她的身体状况变得非常糟糕。
由于缺乏意识(没有人的错),在正常的外出旅行中,当我们要求提供无麸质选择时,人们认为我们问的是因为这是一种饮食选择,而且通常情况下,我女儿能有的选择非常少,而且更多通常,由于与其他食物交叉污染,她实际上无法吃这些物品。
这一切都导致我的女儿变得非常沮丧,感觉非常孤立,这作为父母非常沮丧,因为她从未要求过这种情况,只是想像她的朋友一样。
我们去 astrabound 参加她朋友的生日聚会,我们提前打电话询问是否有无麸质的选择。我们被告知实际上有无麸质菜单。所以我们硬着头皮,没有费心给我们的女儿带她必须带的盒装午餐。
我在晚餐时间去给她点了一些食物,她的大量选择让我彻底震惊了!他们甚至为乳糜泻患者提供了单独的油炸锅和食物准备区,所以我们甚至不需要担心交叉污染!
终于看到她和朋友们一起吃饭,就像她的病情根本不存在一样,真是太棒了!
对于大多数家庭来说,在柔软的游乐区吃点东西似乎是一个微不足道的问题,但对我们来说,这是一个巨大的胜利。
因此,我必须向工作人员和业主表示诚挚的感谢,他们为我的女儿提供了这些选择。
她和朋友们度过了一段美好的时光,最后吃得饱饱的。我们不能要求更多了!
强烈推荐给任何乳糜泻家庭,度过一个有趣和“正常”的一天。
我们将 100% 回归
一位快乐的爸爸非常感谢 🙂
