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 :) :) :)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
