Hello all,

I'm going on vacation with my parents to Hilton Head, SC starting Labor Day weekend. We will be spending about 2 weeks there. I'm looking for safe restaurants to eat at and stores which I can by gluten free. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

There is a neat application for Android phones, called find me gluten free.

There is an Outback Steak House, with a gluten free menu. Carrabba's but I haave never been to one.

You may want to start looking and calling places now if hilton head was hit by the hurricane. If there was a lot of damage in that area some restaurants might still be closed due to damage/power loss. In CT where I am it was only a tropical storm and they are estimating that people will still not have power until Saturday and included in that are a lot of businesses.

Hey Helen,

Our family vacationed in Hilton Head last month. Will post a list of restaurants for you tomorrow.

In regards to stores that carry gluten free items-We traveled by car, so I carried many of my own items from home because this was our first trip there since going gluten free. There is a Fresh Market, but I don't know what breads, ect. that they might carry. However, I shopped there and Publix for fruits, veggies, deli meat (Publix carries Hormel Natural Choices, which is gluten free), ect. I'll post the rest tomorrow.

Have a great trip,

Debbie

Here is the list of Restaurants in Hilton Head that either have a gluten free menu or have gluten free options. I'm not sure who you will be traveling with (adults, children), but I found that most all of the nicer restaurants with "real" chefs know and can accomodate a gluten free diner, but always check ahead.

Here are the restaurants that we ate at successfully: Big Bamboo Cafe (food not great, however ask for Natalie who works at the bar. She has Celiac and has a wealth of info. She probably can help you with where to shop. You might want to e-mail her ahead of time at bigbamboocafe@gmail.com); The Smokehouse(a BBQ place. Both red BBQ sauces are gluten free, but the Carolina mustard sauce is NOT. Fries are NOT gluten free. I believe most all the meats and veggies are safe. You can e-mail Ed at ed@smokehousehhi.com); Skull Creek Boathouse (very good. We ate there twice. Go early. It gets packed. Website www.skullcreekboathouse.com-you can contact them through their site); Michael Anthony's (Excellent. One of the best restaurants on the island. Let them know about your needs when you make reservations); Robert Irvine's Eat! (also excellent. When you make reservations, also let them know about your need for gluten free options); Mellow Mushroom (I hated the gluten free pizza, but I read where many like it!)Pino Gelato-so good! They have an allery chart in store. Ask them to change gloves, and when I went, due to possible CC, they used a clean scoop and went to the back to get mine out of a new container.

Here are other restaurants that either have gluten free menus or said that they could easily accomodate a gluten free diner: Wise Guys (a tapas restaurant with a gluten free menu. Suppose to be really good); Red Fish (contact Jeff at redfishgenmgr@aol.com. My husband and I ate there several years ago before going gluten free and it was really good. will probably need to make reservations); The Sage Room (has a gluten free menu. Go to their website and e-mail them and they will send you the menu); British Pub said that they are use to preparing gluten free options, but you will need to carry your own salad dsg. and cocktail sauce. When you make reservations, let them know about your needs. Here is the contact info for them-ashtonhayes@hotmail.com);Roastfish & Cornbread (really good reviews. Website www.roastfishandcornbread.com); One Hot Mama's (gluten-free items listed on menu. Check on their webite to print); The Black Marlin (really don't know much about them); Sigler's Rotisserie & Seafood (e-mail-siglers@hargray.com. the owner is suppose to be familiar with preparing gluten free options, and the ratings were really good); Frankie Bones; Marley's (suppose to be a good place for gluten-free diners to eat; however, we've eaten there many times in the past. Used to be pretty good, but last year I wasn't pleased at all with the food[i wasn't gluten-free then]. Hopefully it's gotten better. You could read reviews online to see). Hope this helps. Also, in Bluffton there is a Five Guys Burger and Fries. If you are not familiar with them, they have great burgers and fries. Let them know about your "allergy", and they will change gloves. Everything is gluten-free but the bun! Also, there is a Monster Pizza in Bluffton which is suppose to have a gluten free pizza crust.

One more thing. My husband and I went several years ago (without children) and we dined at a wonderful Restaurant called Sunset Grill. I'm sure that they would be able to accomodate. If you're interested, just contact them through their website. If you decide to go, make sure you are there at sunset. The veiws are beautiful.Have a wonderful trip!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
