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!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

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.
