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:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
