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!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Update about this condition.

      I did another Google Search and found this on the GE appliance website regarding their GE® RPWFE™ REFRIGERATOR WATER FILTER 3-PACK.

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Most people are already deficient in minerals. I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter. I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals. I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined....

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Update about this condition. Into late 2025/early 2026 the symptom, which is a clear stocking/glove pattern (it is now frequent in my hands as well as feet and lower legs) has basically outgrown the medication (Duloxetine, now at max dose of 120mg/day). I notice that strong pain occurs when my mind de-focuses in particular, then if I focus awareness again, the pain becomes inhibited. Pain is much worse after meals as has always been the case, and particularly after exercising for some time - the effect is accumulative over weeks. Even when my energy is excellent with no fatigue. Infact, last year doing cycling, it was the increased pain alone that made me have to reduce what I did. I got very fit and energetic, but had awful stabbing foot pains on the surface of the big toe, or sometimes heel, or anywhere in the skin of the foot and sometimes lower leg. These are not muscle pains or internal to the foot or leg. They are happening on the surface. I've had a referral back to the neurology department at my local hospital but the waiting list is a year long. I went back to the doctor who has been updated on everything and has looked over previous and recent blood tests, skin biopsy, and other tests. All tests reveal there is no nerve damage. Infact my nerve density in the biopsy showed much better than average nerve health. There are no nutritional deficiencies and I regularly supplement my diet with Vitamin D, B1 and B2, and Magnesium Glycinate. None of these have helped at all. The pain syndrome just outgrows everthing. It has now become investigated as a chronic pain syndrome with severe central sensitization. It takes less and less provocation to produce the same symptoms, which is indicative of a fault in the descending inhibition of pain mechanism and nociplasticity in the amplification of pain signals. As such I'm being referred to a pain specialist and will see what they recommend.

      I am sorry to hear you went through that @YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888.  That could not have been an easy thing to figure out.  I just used Uncle Google to perform this search:  "Can water filters contain gluten?" Here is the AI overview that was returned: Yes, some water filters can theoretically contain or be processed with gluten. While rare, certain refrigerator or pitcher filters may use wheat starch as a binder for the activated carbon. For individuals with high sensitivity or celiac disease, contacting the manufacturer to confirm if they use wheat or corn starch is recommended.  Potential Risk: Some refrigerator and aftermarket filters may use wheat-based components to bind carbon, potentially causing issues for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Alternatives: Many water filters, such as those from AquaTru Water, are explicitly manufactured to be free of gluten, corn, and soy. General Safety: Most standard water filters are safe, and the risk of significant gluten contamination is low, but not zero for highly sensitive individuals.  If you are highly sensitive, checking with the specific manufacturer of your filter is the safest course of action. --End Quote

      Most people are already deficient in minerals.  I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter.  I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals.   I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined. I don’t know anyone else that does. The rda is closer to 4700 mg a day. For anyone else that might be deficient, I suppose tap water might be a better option.  I personally can’t stand the taste of most city tap water sources.  I don’t mind mineral water and prefer it when possible. I recently found out we would need to drink 5 liters of San Pellagrino mineral water a day to get enough lithium to satisfy the suggested 1 mg a day. Unfortunately, this and other mineral waters can also have trace amounts of uranium that occur naturally in nature. Uranium is not a good thing to have in your water. I wouldn’t want that or naturally occurring lead in my water.  There is no perfect solution for drinking water.  Smart water distills and then adds back in some electrolytes.  I could evaporate two gallons day of tap water or mineral water and the remaining sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, etc… wouldn’t amount to what I already consume on a daily basis. I’m not worried about drinking distilled water.

      Reverse osmosis water pulls electrolyte minerals out of the body.  If used for cooking, RO water will even pull even more electrolytes out of the food.  If you're not replacing electrolytes because you're eating food cooked with RO water, you can suffer from Electrolyte Imbalance.  The symptoms of Electrolyte Imbalance are similar to those that occur with being exposed to gluten.   Also consider that many people with Celiac disease have malabsorption issues and may already be low in electrolytes.  Exposure to RO water may create some health changes more quickly than in healthier individuals.   RO water impacts the body in many ways.  Read this fascinating study.   Long-Term Consumption of Purified Water Altered Amino Acid, Fatty Acid and Energy Metabolism in Livers of Rats https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11122726/ Drink mineral water.
