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?

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.

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

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
