This is the first time I have posted on this forum. Last December, I was diagnosed with a flaxseed allergy after months of horrible episodes, ER visits, and lots of medical testing. I had gone to WDW in October that year, and actually had an attack after doing the Boma culinary tour and sampling the bread service. Weird thing is that I had done the tour before with no problem, so it was an allergy that had recently developed. Now that I know what is causing the attacks, I am very careful about what I consume, especially breads where flaxseed is more common. I know that I can note my allergy on my dining reservations for table-service restaurants, but I'm concerned about eating at the counter service restaurants and the food kitchens at Epcot. We are planning on a couple of counter service meals at Roaring Fork (interested in the gourmet grilled cheese on a multi-grain bun) and Geyser Point (ate the crabcake sandwich last year with no problem but I know ingredients can change). We also want to snack around Epcot at the Festival of the Holidays food kitchens, much like we do at the Food & Wine Festival. We will also do some snacks throughout the trip. Is there a way to view ingredients at these places? By the way, it doesn't help to have allergy information, since flaxseed is not considered an allergen. It is a very rare allergy. The only way to stay safe is to read all ingredients. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated!
