Gluten-Free In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I will be vacationing at the end of July in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 8 days. My extended family has been doing this for almost 15 years now. This will be the first year that I will have to think about eating gluten free. My family loves, loves, lovessss eating out. Well I used to as well (I went from eating out several times a week to now I've eaten out THREE times since April). So to make a long story short, I know we will be looking to dine out at restaurants nightly while at the beach. Does anyone here have any experience eating gluten-free in Myrtle Beach? Any restaurant suggestions? Any places to stay away from? Any good places? I have some time to look up things on the internet and make some phone calls, but I thought I'd ask here too for first-hand experience from you all! Looking forward to responses!

Buffalo Wild Wings is in Conway and you can eat a few things there. Lowes Foods (foodstore) has great gluten free sections, as does Kroger. Bovines in Murrells Inlet has gluten free options. Prossers BBQ has gluten free options. Really any seafood place can make something to your liking and will work to cater to you. There's a chic-fil-a at Surfside and a PF Changs at Market Commons.

Plenty of options for you :)

Highly 2nd Abuelo's--very yummy.

Greg Norman's was safe (I was told the chef would come--he/she did not, then when I questioned several items, the waiter was clueless so I'm saying it was safe because we lucked out)

Here's a link to a thread from last summer: hope it helps--it jogged my memory and made me want to be there right now!!!

Thanks for all the insider tips! That old link was helpful too, Margaritaville and Uno's weren't on my possible list yet. Appreciate the responses!

*UPDATE* Back from Myrtle Beach!

I just spent 8 days in Myrtle Beach and I wanted to share the restaurants I had great experiences with, in case anyone else is planning to go there. I found that there are MANY safe places to eat. Joe's Crab Shack has a gluten free menu and I had no problems there. (Their crab legs are awesome!) I also had great experiences at Olive Garden, Cheeseburger In Paradise, and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. All of these places have gluten free menus and they are knowledgable about gluten. Margaritaville even has a dedicated kitchen just for gluten free, the chef even came out to my table to talk with me (in a restaurant that had a 2 1/2 hour wait time for a table!). For the first time in a looong time I was able to eat french fries in a restaurant (at Cheeseburger in Paradise and also Margaritaville) I even ate at Wendy's fast food with my internet printed gluten free menu in hand and happened to get extremely lucky b/c the manager there has a niece with Celiac and so she knew all about it. She made the employees change gloves, utensils, cleaned the prep surface, and even washed the frosty machine! It seemed like at all of the places people went out of their way to make it safe for me to eat and feel comfortable. I was nervous before going because I had only eaten out 3-4 times since diagnosis in April but knew I 'd be eating out a lot b/c I went with 10 other family members and everyone loves eating out. I think if you emphasis how SICK it makes you with a positive attitude, people are willing to do a lot for you. Just wanted to share my experiences... Before going I did my research and had a list of about 25 restaurants I could eat at down there. Overall a positive experience with food.

Even if she had posted it, this is 9 years old.  There are a lot more places that do gluten-free well these days.  Some of the restaurants might be out of business, etc.  a good resource is to google “ find me gluten free and the city name”.  The Find Me gluten-free website has reviews by others that you might find helpful

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
