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.

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 :) :) :)

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
