Gluten Free Eating In Ocean City, Maryland?

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice or tips on where I can find gluten-free friendly places in Ocean City, Maryland. I'll be vacationing there from August 5th until August 12th and I'll be the only celiac in the group and I don't want to be the bum of the group and say I can't go out to eat with everyone so I was hoping someone on here would know of what restaurants/bars/boardwalk areas have some items that would be safe for me to eat. I already know of To Life! on Fenwick Island. I'm looking for more of places like Hooter's, Brass Balls, Big Peckers, Higgins, you know...places that everyone loves to go to on vacations. I absolutely love Crab Cakes but it would probably be too much to ask for a place to have ones that are safe for me to eat. I e-mailed the owners of To Life! and they told me that Food Lion now has a health food section that has gluten-free items in it but again, I'm looking for places we can go out to eat it would be a bummer to spend the entire vacation without getting to go out and enjoy meals with everyone and having to cook for myself every day. I did a quick search to see if anyone else had posted anything similar to this and no one has but I apologize if I over-looked it. Thank you to everyone ahead of time.

Nah, there's no Red Robin close to Ocean City. I was unaware they had a specific Gluten Free menu though. I eat there all the time and I just get a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun. What all do they offer that's gluten-free if you don't mind me asking?

My husband, who has celiac, and I vacationed in Ocean City last summer and we had two good dining experiences. The first was at The Smokers Pit, a BBQ, in West Ocean city. My husband was able to get grilled chicken and eat the mashed potatoes. They were very friendly and answered all of my questions. You can email them or call them. The other was at the Shark, also in west ocean city. This was a fancy place that you need reservations for, but the food is amazing!

Through my research I have found that because OC is such a tourist spot they are not very knowledgeable about being gluten-free. I also found that many places said that they could accommodate us, but they were not really too sure what I was talking about. My suggestion would be to avoid the places on the boardwalk and check out smaller spots, they seem to listen better.

My family and I have been vacationing in OC for 20 years and love it. I hope you enjoy your trip and good luck with the food.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      Hello @Cathijean90 Firstly, welcome to the forum, you have come to the right place! I know this is much easier to say than to do, but try not to worry.  Whilst it is awful on so many levels that you have only just found out that Coeliac Disease is the issue behind all your problems, when you could have known 15 years ago, as Trents has said, it is really not at all uncommon for people to have symptoms for years before the doctors know what they are dealing with.  I was worried, too, that I'd never get better when I was first diagnosed.  My nutritionist said it wasn't too late and I didn't believe her!  But you know what -  I am feeling so much better now.  I've known of people living near me who were diagnosed in their 70s and 80s and have bounced back, and my consultant has even diagnosed someone in their 90s!  So being diagnosed older is something that also happens a lot. I am now in my 50s but my first symptoms, looking back, probably started with bouts of diarrhea in my teens and terrible nauseating migraines in my 20s, with a mouth full of ulcers twice in my 30s, aura migraines starting with my first pregnancy at 34, hallucinations with both pregnancies and a pre-term baby with my second pregnancy.  Weird liver function tests suggestive and iron deficiency, which sent me into a spin because my GP said it might be a type of cancer, then blood in my stools and clinical anxiety in the months prior to my diagnosis.    Wow - what gluten can do to someone!  But now, apart from a few minor issues with aura migraines, these issues have gone away.  It has been so worth giving up gluten, people say I have good self-control but frankly, and I am sure you feel the same, knowing how sick gluten can make us, I'm not remotely interested in eating gluten ever again! I've recently discovered my GP didn't tell me my cholesterol is creeping up when he tested me three years ago.  If I had known I'd have started being much more careful with my diet.  I dread to think what my cholesterol levels are now,  I'll have to do a test sooner or later but I do need to try to do something about it now.  So I do relate with your situation. To have not had the diagnosis passed onto you is awful.  But the good news is you do know now.   Also, you will be taking your diet seriously, which will give you the best chance of a good recovery.   Kick gluten out of your diet, get your doctor to run some tests to see if you have any vitamin deficiencies, and address those, and also see if you have any thyroid issues which occasionally affect coeliacs and can be easily treated.   Build your strength up with the best whole food you can manage, and try to take one day at at time.  On having children:  my friend had a series of miscarriages before she was diagnosed with coeliac disease, and then when she started a gluten free diet, no more - she carried two more pregnancies to term.   I am so glad you have a faith, my Christian faith has been a huge help to me on my journey.   Two  books on anxiety and depression too, helped, if you feel you are struggling with either or both.  The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs, by Dr Steve Llardi, and At Last a Life by Paul David.  Both available online. Come back to us if you have any more questions.  You are not alone. Cristiana

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.
