Headed out there next month. Wondered where is good to eat. Not a huge fan of the national chains...at least not the ones out in Utah. I don't eat out much anymore, though. Too many foods to avoid. Although I have had nothing but good experiences at Bonefish Grill, and hear there's one in Destin.

I will be bringing my toaster oven, have a fridge for gluten-free breads and snacks, probably got breakfasts covered. Just wondered about those in between times. We're staying at the Courtyard Marriott, and will be attending a convention at the Sandestin Hilton. I guess this is the Miramar Beach/Four Mile Village area.

Any feedback of places to hit up or avoid would be great.

Last time I was there was years ago and I was not a vegan, yet, so I took advantage of the sea food and ate a lot of plain, fresh fish wherever we went. Sorry I can't be more specific! Have fun!

That's probably a good plan. I love seafood thankfully, so I'll just have to take advantage of that :) Thanks!

Hi Sweetfudge,

I am here visiting Destin right now! There's PF Chang's and Bonefish, which are chains, I know. I'm about to try Fleming's tonight (also a chain, but more upscale). All three have gluten-free menus. I have heard good things about Another Broken Egg (breakfast & lunch) and have had a great experience at the Marina Cafe, where the chef is very accommodating. I'll fill you in if I find more before I leave.

Avoid O'Charley's. They claim to know what they're doing, but I was glutened there last year.

Have fun!

There is a great BBQ resturant in SanDestin called Jim 'n Nicks. If you go on their website they will email you an extensive list of your options. Open Original Shared Link We also ate at Pompano Joe's and they had wonderful seafood and were very understanding. Plus they were right on the water, so it had an authentic feel! Have fun!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
