Can anyone give me a report on myrtle beach as far as eating out & any good bakeries or large gluten-free stores around?

I'll be there in June 08... anything I shouldn't miss out on while there?

thanks

Hi...

I was in Myrtle Beach two years ago and I did have good luck during the week finding places to eat.

There is a Bonefish Grill, Cheeseburger in Paradise and a Carabbas, and they all have gluten free menus.

I REALLY enjoyed Bonefish Grill.

I would stay away from any of the mom and pop restaurants and buffets. I never had much luck there.

Also, there are a couple bigger grocery stores (i.e. Food Lion) which do carry some gluten free items. I brought most of mine from home though.

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.

Myrtle Beach is great. You will have a good time!

Melissa

Did you go to Myrtle Beach? Eat out anywhere? We are going next week. Last year when we went to margaritaville they had a gluten free menu but I called to make sure they still had it and they dont.

If you can eat seafood...go to the mom and pop seafood places...They're willing to work with you in every way. Depending on where you're staying, I've eaten out in places in Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island. There's a Carrabba's and always Chick-Fil-A. Cheeseburger in Paradise is in Myrtle Beach as well as Sticky Fingers that offer gluten-free choices, as long as you ask to speak to a manager at any place, they're usually very good about it. I usually stick to straight seafood because they rarely mess that up.

Also, all of the Food Lion's and Lowe's Food have organic/gluten free sections in their stores so you have items that you can purchase if you don't feel comfortable eating out.

Hope this helps.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines.  The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself.  Taking  the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis.  Those studies I sent show that damage at Marsh 3C or 4 will develop over a longer period of time. Newer diagnosis criteria would diagnose you with Celiac with your HLA DQ 2.5 genes and high antibody levels alone.  You would benefit by following a gluten free diet. I have type two diabetes.  I used to wake up with migraines if I ate high carbohydrate foods before bed.  My blood glucose level stayed too high throughout the night.  I'd wake dehydrated, foggy, and headachy/migraine developing the next morning.  I was low in Thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin.  Diabetics have a greater metabolic demand for thiamine because they lose more thiamine in their urine.  98% of diabetics are thiamine deficient.  Diabetes is another autoimmune disease that can accompany celiac disease.  Have you had an A1C test?    Eating a diet heavy in carbohydrates uses up available thiamine quickly.  If you don't have sufficient thiamine, the body stores carbohydrates as fat.  The SIBO bacteria flourish with a high carbohydrate diet.  MCAS develops as the body fights the SIBO.   Thiamine improves MCAS.  Mast cells make histamine and release it as part of the inflammation response.  Mast cells can become  hypersensitive and release histamine at the least provocation in Thiamine insufficiency.  Mast cells need Thiamine to help hold their wad.   MCAS often occurs with and is exasperated by SIBO.  I found the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) helps with both.  This Paleo diet starves out the SIBO bacteria and calms the MCAS.  If you change your diet, you change your intestinal flora.  Following the AIP paleo diet and thiamine made a noticeable difference in my health fairly quickly.   Thiamine works with the other B vitamins to make enzymes that keep the body functioning well.  A B Complex, Vitamin C, and extra thiamine like Benfotiamine will help immensely.   I hope this helps.  I had to decide that my Celiac genes were switched on and causing health problems even though I did not have the high antibody levels and visible damage in my intestines needed to make a textbook diagnosis.  You know your body best.  I knew Celiac was my problem.  I made the necessary changes and feel much better for it.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      A slice of bread weighing 50g isn't the same as 50g of gluten. Bread dough contains other components besides gluten. At any rate, at the end of the day, the antidote for celiac disease and for NCGS is the same, life-long avoidance of gluten. My hunch is that you do have celiac disease but are in the early stages of it. Some experts in the field believe that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease so, if that is true, you may be in a transition phase. In view of how this has unfolded for you, I would suggest going whole hog into a gluten free diet commitment and see what impact it has on your symptoms. This may be of help in getting a a jump start in eating gluten free:

      Diagnosis confusion

      Hi trents, thanks for the response. I started the challenge the 2nd week of April with 2 slices of sandwich bread per day (tried to get a larger loaf size, each slice weighed 50g) and continued that through April/May/June up until my scope this past week. On weekends I had extra gluten foods like noodles, cookies, etc. But couldn't tolerate much more than the 2 slices during the workweek. I had hoped that doing this for ~9 weeks would be enough, since I only did 2 weeks for the first scope earlier this year.  Yes, the doctor who did the actual scope and told me about what she saw immediately after is the same doctor who reviewed the pathology report.

      I can't remember if I tried taking thiamine at one point and it didn't agree with me, or if I tried it but didn't take it very long.  I may have to try that out again.  I have taken magnesium threonate in the past and unfortunately it did not help with my migraines.  I do take a monthly injectable migraine preventative and I know not to eat after 8pm or I will wake up with a monster migraine (not sure why the time is a trigger, but it's there, LOL). I definitely have a histamine issue.  I think I actually may have MCAS but never been diagnosed with that.  That's good to know about Vitamin C and B12.  Thanks!!

      From what I understand, my high antibody level and EMA positivity rule out NCGS because those are not typically elevated in NCGS.  That's what I've read anyway?   My doctor is calling it "potential" or "latent" celiac disease, which honestly is just frustrating.  I don't have celiac but I also don't not have celiac.  I'm just in limbo and I can either choose to continue eating gluten and see if it progresses, or I can go gluten free and see how I feel.   I hate this gray area - I just wanted something concrete and definitive and now I kind of wish I never started this whole process.
