We have to visit there for a family obligation and we'll be in a house so we'll be able to make most of our own food. But we will need a night out away from family and kids so if anyone knows of a place near the beach that is NOT a chain and has gluten free menu options please let me know. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! We don't mind going someplace high end as Thoroughbred's was our fave place there pre dx.

Visit Myrtle Beach every year, and i'am confronted with the same problem celiac disease. I have found that Chucks Steak House (North Myrtle beach area) will work steak and bake potato and a clean salad bar. I did have to make them aware of my problem celiac disease.

Thanks so much....I think that is very close to where they are looking for the rental house. I appreciate your reply and help!

I was wondering if you found any other places to eat out in Myrtle Beach or if the steak house suggested was good? We will be going for a long weekend at the end of August. The condo has a kitchen so we can fix our own breakfast and lunches but we like going out for dinner. Thanks for the help.

My family and I will be visiting the Myrtle Veach area in Aug. I am a newly diagnosed celiac and have a terrible time trying to read labels and speaking up at restuarants. :blink: Have searched on the web for different dining options and am currently e-mailing restuarants to get info. :rolleyes: Any help would be appreciated....don't want just salads and fruit while on vaca. :D

I just got back from Sunset Beach, NC (and we ate out in N. Myrtle Beach). We ate out at The Crab House. I contacted the manager via email before going and they were very helpful. I was able to eat pretty much any fresh fish, grilled or broiled and salad. The manager even offered to prepare a fruit cup for dessert, but I was full. I also brought along my Triumph Dining Cards and they helped a TON.......I highly recommend them.

Also, Piggly Wiggly carries Van's gluten-free waffles, if that helps anyone. :)

Did you find out any information via email about the restuarants? Please post it if you do. I think we will try the crab house that was suggested and maybe that steak house but probably just eat at the condo. But I would like to have choices if we do go out.

Sorry - our trip was cancelled and now we're going to Cashiers NC in September. I'm now going to search for somewhere to eat there. We will eat at the cabin mostly I think so I'll just need a place for dinner and another for lunch. But the leader of the Charlotte support group said there is no support group in Myrtle Beach as far as she knows. But I think any place that serves fish (not a fried fish joint) will grill or saute some fish and veggies for you.

How is the food search in MB going? I was looking to see what kind of health food stores they have there and it seems to be only one.... i was shocked.... its a small area but LOTS of people per year visit. I love MB and lived in north myrtle for a while many, many years ago. Changed alot since then but I still love to visit there.

so far i've found enough to survive!! which is always a plus...krogers here have gluten free options...i haven't been to a piggly wiggly yet or down to the only health food store because its in north myrtle beach and i've learned that the traffic in that direction is just nasty, so i'm going to wait until the summer season is over before i shoot down that far...i've eaten out maybe three times...All non-chain seafood restaurants in which i've called ahead, and they're always good about crab legs, grilled dishes and of course salads...most non chain places are locally owned and operated and the people are more than willing to help you out!

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
