I've read some old post about gluten free in the outer banks of NC. Anyone have updated info? Somewhere to dine and or to shop gluten-free. Thanks!

For shopping there is a fairly good health food store, directly next to the Outer Banks Bread Company in Kitty Hawk. Farm Fresh has gluten free foods, but not in a specific section. You should be able to find breads, pasta and cereals.

High Cotton, at mile post one, has super ribs, brisket and BBQ chicken and are knowledgeable about gluten free service. Just let them know. Ask for Will Thorp. But, most restaurants have fresh seafood and can cook it to your liking and most are happy to accommodate special requests.

Lone Cedar Restaurant (on the causeway toward Manteo) had the best scallops and a dedicated fryer for fries. Also, they serve the best cold plate I have ever eaten, with fresh seafood. There is an Outback in Nags Head.

Ordering in a restaurant at the beach should not be a problem, but I would suggest you go during non busy times, or call a head, late afternoon and talk to the manager.

It's beautiful there. Hope you have a great time.

I'm going to be visiting Corolla in Sept for a wedding and don't want to lug all my gluten-free food, if I don't have to. Are there places in or near Corolla that serve gluten-free or a grocery store that sells gluten-free?

Hey! I just arrived at OBX last night! I'm so glad to have had this post come back around. Most of my family is on the gluten free diet, so this information will come in handy. Thanks!

I don't get up to the northern end of the beach often, but I know there is a large Food Lion Grocery Store in Duck and Corolla. Food Lion has an extensive gluten free section in Duck, Corolla and in Southern Shores. Finding the staples should not be problem.

The beach is at it's best in September and October. Enjoy.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
