I received several responses from those who have recently been to
Universal. It seemed the overwhelming response was go eat at
Margaritaville at City Walk, which I believe is right across the
street from Islands of Adventure.
Thank you for everyone's response!
Below are the responses:

We stayed at the Lowes Hotel and they had almost anything we wanted
GF. Asian stir-fry, pancakes, muffins.... They knew all about GF and
bent over backwards to make sure our family was safe and happy there.
It was wonderful because you were able to get into Harry Potter an
hour early and we were all able to eat safely.
I can't remember exactly where we ate at the park. I know we ate at
the big restaurant in the middle and they were absolutely able to
accommodate us. I remember you either need a reservation there or get
there right when they open up. I think it was called Mythos.
Have fun and good luck!

Bob marley''s has a gf menu - not inside the park, but right outside.
And we liked the food and the atmosphere :-)

I just got back from eating at Bubba Gumps Seafood restaurant at
Universal. They have a small gluten free menu. I had the shrimp and
rice. The manager brings it out. I had no problems

full-service restaurants serve gluten-free pasta, and Confisco Grille®
at
Islands of Adventure® features a dedicated gluten-free menu, which
includes
the following gluten-free options: Pesto Penne & Tomato Basil, made with
rice noodles; Mussels; and Caesar Salad. At this time, we do not
offer an
electronic version of the Gluten-free menu.
We are also pleased to provide a variety of gluten-free quick-service

I am delighted to inform you that Butterbeer™ and Pumpkin Juice™ are

the rib

Irish
soda bread and croutons do not have a gluten free option. At this
time, all
of the desserts sold at Honeydukes™ are flour-based. The packaged
candies
sold at Honeydukes™ have nutritional labels, including the

In addition, food carts throughout the parks serve apples, oranges,
grapes,
and watermelon slices. The lemon slush drinks and turkey legs available
throughout the parks are also gluten-free. The managers at any of our

help
you select appropriate items during your visit.
