Gluten Free Eating In Ocean City, Maryland?

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice or tips on where I can find gluten-free friendly places in Ocean City, Maryland. I'll be vacationing there from August 5th until August 12th and I'll be the only celiac in the group and I don't want to be the bum of the group and say I can't go out to eat with everyone so I was hoping someone on here would know of what restaurants/bars/boardwalk areas have some items that would be safe for me to eat. I already know of To Life! on Fenwick Island. I'm looking for more of places like Hooter's, Brass Balls, Big Peckers, Higgins, you know...places that everyone loves to go to on vacations. I absolutely love Crab Cakes but it would probably be too much to ask for a place to have ones that are safe for me to eat. I e-mailed the owners of To Life! and they told me that Food Lion now has a health food section that has gluten-free items in it but again, I'm looking for places we can go out to eat it would be a bummer to spend the entire vacation without getting to go out and enjoy meals with everyone and having to cook for myself every day. I did a quick search to see if anyone else had posted anything similar to this and no one has but I apologize if I over-looked it. Thank you to everyone ahead of time.

Nah, there's no Red Robin close to Ocean City. I was unaware they had a specific Gluten Free menu though. I eat there all the time and I just get a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun. What all do they offer that's gluten-free if you don't mind me asking?

My husband, who has celiac, and I vacationed in Ocean City last summer and we had two good dining experiences. The first was at The Smokers Pit, a BBQ, in West Ocean city. My husband was able to get grilled chicken and eat the mashed potatoes. They were very friendly and answered all of my questions. You can email them or call them. The other was at the Shark, also in west ocean city. This was a fancy place that you need reservations for, but the food is amazing!

Through my research I have found that because OC is such a tourist spot they are not very knowledgeable about being gluten-free. I also found that many places said that they could accommodate us, but they were not really too sure what I was talking about. My suggestion would be to avoid the places on the boardwalk and check out smaller spots, they seem to listen better.

My family and I have been vacationing in OC for 20 years and love it. I hope you enjoy your trip and good luck with the food.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
