HI - I was in O.C. Md last Sept. If you can get to Bethany Beach (about 8 miles north) there is a great health food store just as you come into town (at a shopping center across from the high rises) that has lots of gluten-free products. The owner was there and told me about several restaurants in the area that are well informed. I think one was called the Lighthouse and known for it's seafood and the chef has a relative with celiac disease so is really knowledgable. I'll see if I can find some notes on O.C. from my research last year and Ill post again. ALso O.C. has an Outback. You might also do a search on the ICORS listserv. Good luck, Christy

Christy,

I greatly appreciate your help. I am really nervous about what to eat. I really don't want to spend my vacation sick. You mentioned doing a search on the ICORS listserv. I am not sure how to do that. Would you be willing to give me some more information? Thanks so much.

HI - I finally found some of my notes. The Health Food Store is in Bethany Beach and is called Wholesome Habits. The restaurant there is called Steakhouse 26. In O.C. (or just outside of it) there is Carrabas, Outback and I think Bonefish Grill which all have gluten-free menus. Thrashers french Fries and Kohls' ice cream both on the boardwalk there are gluten-free. Also I find that most of the seafood restaurants e will work with you to give you grilled seafood. We went to Shark's Cove at the north end of O.C. for dinner and they were able to work with me. Telephone each place ahead of time.

To locate the ICORS listserv do a search on google or yahoo. I hope this all helps. Enjoy your trip.

I just came back from the Bethany Beach (very close to Ocean City). There is an ice cream shop in Bethany called Berry Good Treats (right near the boardwalk on Garfield Parkway). They have gluten free Edy's ice cream, gluten free ice cream cones, gluten-free hot dogs and gluten-free buns are coming soon. They are celiacs and do not cross contaminate. They just opened up their shop and they were so very nice! It was so awesome to get an ice cream cone! You should check it out when you are in the area!

Thank You very much for your helpful information. We do travel often to Bethany Beach and an Ice Cream Cone sounds fantastic!!! :P I can't wait. Have a great summer.

Thanks for the info on Berry Good Treats. We are headed to OC when school gets out and will definitely make the ride up to Bethany to give it a try!

Is it the type of place you could have a meal or mostly just an ice cream shop?

It is mainly an ice cream shop. They have ice cream, cones, hot dogs, and buns that are gluten free. They have other dessert kinds of food that are not gluten free. They were very nice people and had many ideas on great places to go out and eat in the area. I know that Steakhouse 26 on Rte 26 in Bethany is extemely gluten-free friendly (owned by celiacs), and I heard that Bethany Beach Blues in Bethany is celiac friendly.

Have a great trip!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      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

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
