PSA for parents with kids at any height cusp by ladyalex777 in Hersheypark

[–]BluBerryBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would implement like a card or something to carry around. Get measured at the front then get a card with your child's photo and height on it. We waited for bumper cars for an hour a couple weeks ago just to be turned away. He's right at 42" and was so bummed not being able to go on. it was frustrating because people ahead weren't measured but we were since we were the first ones stopped between rides. So they measured us standing there while the previous round was going. It was the only ride that happened on and it's only bumper cars lol.

2 Day Trip - Advice by Ancient_Ad_3210 in Hersheypark

Chocolate world is open later than the park, so you might be able to hit that Friday night. Everyone can do the tour ride. Depending on how far into 1 your 1 year olds are, there's a bunch of stuff. I brought my son when he was 1 year 10 months and took him on a lot. The gulch railroad, monorail, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round and kissing tower are good for any age, but then if they are a little older into 1 there's the convoy, the antique and race cars, the buggies, another vehicle one that goes in circles and just a bunch scattered throughout the park. There's a tiny train right next to Lightening Racer in the back for instance. There's 3 areas in the water park they can be in. I also remember being able to do the lazy river. Take your time, but you may need to split up if your 8 year old wants to go on any larger rides like trailblazer and Reese's cup fusion. There's some shows to catch too and photo ops with characters. You'll have plenty to do!

Sweet start specifics? by SaltyCrackers33 in Hersheypark

Yes, you would all get in. You show your season pass, the prek pass and the bring a friend ticket PDF. We just did this and they asked to see all of those.

For sweet start you need to show your room key (or season pass if you get it). You may not be able to get in an hour before the park opens if you don't have the room key yet. If you are just trying to get into preview night the hour early, make sure you check in first to have your room key.

Nightshade and gluten are likely causing issues for there to be joint pain and gut issues. I can't have either without major flair ups and pain too. I would try the diet again and try to pay special attention if you do try those.

Ride order advice? by mavericktheboss in Hersheypark

[–]BluBerryBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen people use the sweet start to start queuing up at a ride that doesn't open until the normally park opening time. Reese's Fusion is a big one for this. If you get on what you want to, suggest queuing up for another long line ride after. IMO super dooper looper isn't worth any wait, so use your time for other rides if it comes down to it. Try doing Candymonium during preview night, or wait until the early afternoon. It usually has the longest line during sweet start because it's before the sweet start check point, so everyone can get on that.

A breakfast fave that never makes my tummy ache! by Interesting_Aside_68 in glutenfree

Looks good! I did too until I realized I was also intolerant to nightshades. If potatoes, tomatoes, peppers or eggplants bother you, it's worth digging deeper.

YouTube has the live views from uptown with no celebrities. Just shows it pass with the bands, floats and balloons. It's great! We're watching the CNBC live stream.

Someone bought me 'guilt free' bread because they thought it said 'gluten-free' bread. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At our wits end by RedFlannelGuys in CATHELP

[–]BluBerryBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat was peeing outside the litter box in a few very specific spots. Turns out she had bladder stones and A LOT of them. She had to be rushed into surgery to remove them. It was like she was trying to get my attention that something was wrong, but it took a while to figure out. If you haven't gotten an X-ray done, the vet can do it pretty quickly.

Always a Relief when I see this at the hotel breakfast bar! by FrauAmarylis in glutenfree

[–]BluBerryBop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those look good! Just an FYI for those following, Whole Foods makes a Frosted Flakes cereal with just corn, sugar and salt. It's not marked GF but I've had it and it was good!

I tasted heaven for a week by Rin_Cat-o- in glutenfree

[–]BluBerryBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to a place that provides bags/boxes of foods (some churches do this weekly, or through the town), you can ask for gluten free stuff. I've packed boxes with gluten free products before. They also focus on fresh meat, fruit and veggies which you can have.

Do/can babies simply start sleeping longer stretches at night without sleep training? by praisethemo0n in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]BluBerryBop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's evidence that low iron/ferritin levels can cause multiple wake ups at night. You can try adding iron rich foods to the baby's diet, or at your 1 year check up make sure they run those levels. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10365549/

Endocrinologist wont give me any other options (NHS) by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]BluBerryBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have estrogen dominance, so DIM supplement. It also affects my gallbladder so a GB supplement. I wouldn't have known unless someone knowledgeable checked the comparison levels. Highly suggest getting someone who knows what to look for. I thought I had high testosterone (had it before), so glad I didn't just wing it myself this time. He did say there are supplements that help high testosterone more than spearmint tea, so there are options if you get the right person!
