Eating In Obx, Nc

Just wanted to let anyone that vacations there or is on their way, that the Pearl in Kill Devil Hills, will be more than happy to accommodate your diet.

We were at a wedding reception there this past weekend and they had no problem making my meal "special". My wonderful husband, with out me knowing, went in to speak with them the morning of the reception. They told him to come back once we arrived and to let them know where I will be seated. We did that and they prepared my food, fish, rice and asparagus on a totally separate, clean part of their grill. It was delicious. I was so happy to be served at the same time as everyone else, without having to worry. PHEW! I felt great!

I thanked the chef/owners wife and she told me that she has a regular that comes in that is highly allergic to black pepper. She will call ahead and let them know that she is coming and they will clean the grill and make sure she is not CC. She also told me that I (we :) "Should be able to go into any restaurant and not have a problem - if they care about their food and the customers, they should be able to accommodate." I agreed, but ya'know.........

Well, if any of you travel to the Outer Banks, please try to stop in. The food is great, but the people are even better.

Amanda :)

Totally satisfied customer. :):):)

Great to know!! Two questions:

You went to a reception there? Was it dressy or like a casual beach reception?

Is it on the beach rd or the main rd?

HeyItsA Apprentice

Yes, we went to a reception there and it was dressy casual (?) I wore black pants, black button down shirt and heels, some of the guys had on suits and others were in khakis and button downs. If you were to just go for dinner, I would say business casual and you wouldnt have to worry.

It is on Virginia Dare Rd - right on the ocean. It is actually in the Sea Ranch Hotel.

Hope you get to try it.

Thanks ;)

We have family there and grew up going to OBX. I'll keep that in mind for our next trip.

      I did well on gluten-free, but continued to have issues a year down the road.  Testing for food allergies and sensitivities revealed severe IgE allergies to yeast and dairy as well as food sensitivities to 23 other foods.  I got better after taking out those foods, but it was not until the doctor recommended I go completely grain free did all my issues resolve.  No oats, corn, rice etc. for me for the past 10 years or so.  I am actually better at 72 than I was in my 40's!

      Personally, I would get a new GP.  Advice to continue eating gluten, even after a Celiac disgnosis, is ridiculous.  Clearly the GP knows nothing about the disease.  That advice could be dangerous to your health.  I too found out by accident.  I was searching for help with ulnar neuropathy.  The first doctor took xrays of my elbow and hand.  Surprise, surprise nothing wrong!  The second doctor took xrays of my neck, but also took a detailed history and gave a complete physical exam. He noted the dermatitis herpetiformis rash, the inability to walk a straight line, the previous miscarriages, history of "irritable bowel" and of course the migraines since childhood.  Blood was immediately drawn and a skin biopsy taken and genetic tests done.  When all 3 were positive, I was given the opportunity to opt out of the endoscopy, which I did due to a history of adverse reactions to sedation.  Oh, and the ulnar neuropathy turned out to be bone spurs at C 6 and C7 pushing on the nerve root.  6 weeks of chiropractic care took care of that and a gluten-free diet took care of the rest.

      @Rebeccaj, You may choose to get tested to see if you have an allergy to wheat.  That's a different type of immune response to wheat than Celiac Disease.  It's possible to have both.  You may need an Epipen. A histamine release in the sinuses upon being exposed to wheat in wheat allergy can cause a headache.    Talk to your doctor about wheat allergy testing.

      Although sensitivity to gluten varies between individuals, multiple research studies suggest that consuming up to 10 mg of gluten a day is safe for most people with coeliac disease. Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of farmers with coeliac disease developing symptoms from inhaling gluten containing dust from cattle feed but that is an extreme example and they were exposed to very high concentrations of airborne gluten over a long period of time. In a domestic situation, unless someone is making dough and putting a lot fo flour into the air, I don't think you will get significant airborne exposure. The thing to watch out for is making sure work surfaces, cutlery and utensils are clean. If you have to share a toaster, get some toasting pouches.
