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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
