Hilton Head Help?

Going to Hilton Head for the first time ever in two weeks. We'll make most of our own meals but will be eating out some.

I'm aware of chains that are helpful but that's not what I really want while I'm there. I am a BIG seafood fan and realize I can get plenty of that steamed or broiled. BUT, are there any special local places any of you all have gone that you would recommend? And are there any particularly good places to buy gluten-free supplies if I need to do so or places that make gluten-free goodies?

many thanks

richard

Googling indicates there are two health food stores in HHI, which helps. This lady has a restaurant suggestion Open Original Shared Link but somebody in her comments section had a different experience at the same restaurant. The local specialty at that end of the state is Frogmore Stew, but I'm not sure I'd trust any restaurant not to put flour in. It's easy to make it yourself: Open Original Shared Link Gay's Seafood near Beaufort, mentioned in the link, is the go-to spot for fresh (i.e. raw) seafood, assuming you have a cooler or something.

Have a good trip, and good luck.

Hi Richard,

My husband and I have been to Hilton Head for vacation the last 2 years because we had such a great experience on finding gluten free restaurants. I had emailed the local Celiac support group in that area before our trip and they said pretty much all of the restaurants there can accomodate and i found that to be true to the one's we ate at. Our absolute favorite though is Sigler's Rotisserie which is actually in Bluffton, SC which is right outside of HHI - about 15 minutes away not far past the outlets. This was my husband's favorite also and he doesn't eat gluten free. I had searched on-line and saw a recommendation for it and we tried it our first trip and they were so very helpful and the food was just wonderful! We ate there twice on our first trip! I called the restaurants and made reservations and mentioned that i have to eat gluten free beforehand. This year i have other intolerances so when i called Sigler's i spoke with Shirley Sigler and she was so very nice and helpful (as they were the previous year). I told her what i can eat and she said they would make sure i had a meal i could eat and asked me what i would like and i told her the chicken (it's so delicious!) - they have their magic crystals they season it with which may be gluten free but since i have other intolerances they made mine special with just salt and pepper only and it was wonderful! :) The first year they made me special gluten free desserts that were so delicious - this year i am so limited on what i can eat that i passed on dessert. The only dessert i'm eating is SCD yogurt and ripe bananas - i had my dessert when we got back to the condo.

Here's some other places that were very good and accomodated a gluten free meal - i called ahead of time and asked them and made reservations if they took them. The good thing too is most of the restaurants have an early bird special if you go early and it's a much better price...usually before 6 or 6:30 i believe. Some i emailed as well as called and gave them a list of the foods i can eat.

Also, Black Marlin Grille was good and we didn't eat at Alexander's (i believe that's the name) but may try it next time. It's owned by the same owner of Red Fish. Frankie Bone's is supposed to be good also but we haven't eaten there.

Hilton Head also has a Fresh Market grocery store which is great and a Publix and a Kroger (i believe) oh, and a Harris Teeter and all of these have great fresh produce (some organic) and some gluten free foods. They also have a Walmart. HHI is an excellent place to vacation in my opinion if you're gluten free.

Hope this helps. Have a great time! :)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
