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! :)

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
