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!

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
