gluten-free Foods On Hilton Head Island?

We are going on our first vacation since our daughter, 2 yrs old, got diagnosed with Celiacs. We're going to Hilton Head with another family that is not gluten-free. It is a 10 hour drive so I can only bring non-perishable foods with me. Does anyone know if there is a good grocery store to buy gluten-free foods on the island? I'm getting a little (lot) stressed out about keeping her away from gluten in an environment I don't know. She is super sensitive.

can you have some shipped there? That may be the easiest way.

If you can make room in the car, how about using a cooler filled with dry ice for some favorite foods? That will absolutely keep things cold. We just returned from Maui and I checked a cooler of specialty items on dry ice. Worked beautifully. I purchased the dry ice at my local grocery store. I'm in CA, but all the major stores around here have it. You just have to ask the checker because it's always in a locked case so it's handled properly (with gloves).

Hopefully some others will chime in with some restaurant options too. Have a great trip!

I went to HH a couple of years ago and found little there at that time. Maybe it's improved since then. Take what you can and feed her naturally gluten-free stuff like meat, fruit, seafood and so on.

Haven't been to HH in ages, but we have been traveling all summer. Are you staying in a place with a kitchen? I suggest you bring a pan from home to make pasta, a colander and maybe a frying pan. Also, aluminum foil and parchment paper for the other pans. There are also these things called toaster bags that you can use to make toast. I got some and they're helpful for a shared kitchen. You can order the toaster bags online.

The other thing that we do now (we have been traveling around Germany and France all summer) is to bring an entree out with us in a thermos when we are off site seeing and if we go to a cafe or restaurant my daughter orders a juice or soda and sometimes fruit or candy. This means we aren't carting these around all day.

They have a Harris Teeter there. Not sure how much gluten-free items that particular store carries, but most HT's carry some. Here is their list:

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
