Good Choice. I live about a hour away and we go the the Banks quite a bit.

I don't know of any restaurants with a gluten free menu other than OutBack in Nags Head. There is a place that serves gluten free ribs in Kitty Hawk, the owners has a celiac child....darn, I can't remember the name of it.

Here are a few celiac friendly places:

Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe

Nags Head

Black Pelican

Kitty Hawk *****

Colington Cafe

Kill Devil Hills

If you need any more information, just let me know.

aw, blueeyed, definitely go there!!!!

My husband grew up going to the Outer Banks every summer with his whole family.....and the first time he took me, he proposed to me on the beach. So I have a special place in my heart for it. We have gone twice since being diagnosed. The first time, I ate out once (just ordered plain seafood, cooked in butter, nothing else, in a clean pan, threatened their life about cross contamination....you know, the normal routine ;)). When we went this past summer, I was in the midst of being horribly sick due to other reasons, and did not eat out at all. In general, I think that seafood is one of the easiest things to order though. The less ingredients, the better! (boring, I know, but I don't want you getting sick on your honeymoon!)

I think we are going again this summer....(today I will say "definitely" considering we have snow here today!)

The beach is so romantic, John proposed to me on the Beach in Atlantic City, he had orginally planned on doing at the top of the Abescon Lighthouse (I love lighthouses, another reason for going to the Outer Banks)

Thank you for all your help!

We are hoping to rent a beach house so we can cook a lot at the house plus we would like to bring out kitty along.

I too am getting snow today and tomorrow so the beach seems so nice. We spend a week in Wildwood every summer.

When you define your plans and should you choose the Outer Banks, PM me. :)

That definitely sounds like a good plan...the houses there are so great. Eric's family gets one, and it makes it so much easier on me, having a kitchen. There is a great restaurant called the Whalebone....we went there the night after he proposed. It is really special to us. I haven't eaten there gluten-free, but it is a nice seafood place.

We are all so sappy :) :) :)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
