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.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By jenniber · Posted

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
