Great Experience At Dixie Stampede Myrtle Beach Sc

Hi,

Not too long ago I asked if anyone had been to the Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach SC and if so how was their experience. Well my family and I went last week and it was a great experience. My husband who has celiac sprue got to enjoy a tasty chicken dinner with potatoes and a slice of pork without getting sick. The waitress there was so on top of things (Natalie) that when they sat us down I started to tell her that he needed a gluten free meal and she pulled up her sleeve to show me she knew about it and had it written on her arm. When she served each item which were all served separtely she knew what he could have and what he couldn't have. It was a Great experience, all of us enjoyed the dinner show and everyone got to eat without worrying about getting sick. This is a place I would reccomend and we will go back again.

Thanks for posting this! I am going to Myrtle next week and this would be great for the kids. Did you let them know ahead of time about needing a gluten free meal? Or did you tell them when you got there and bought the tickets? Did you eat out anywhere else while you were there?

Hi,

I bought our tickets online because we also wanted to go to Ripleys aquarium and it was a package deal. After I ordered our tickets and received my confirmation number I called the Dixie Stampede and told them I needed one gluten free meal for my husband. So when we got to Myrtle Beach we stopped at the DIxie Stampede office to pick up our tickets and I thought I'm going to see if they have it noted down on their computer and it was noted down but I wanted to be safe then sorry and considering how much the tickets cost you want to make sure no one gets sick. So I recommed you doing the same. The server (Natalie) was wonderful like I posted she had it written down on her arm so she was fully aware of it. When they serve your food she came around to each plate one at a time and put your food on it, if she wasn't sure if he could have she asked him. The only things he couldn't have were corn on the cob (because of the butter they use) their biscuit and apple turn over.

We also ate at Cheeseburger in paradise (Oh it was so good there) we ate there three times in the 8 days we were there. They have a gluten free menu, look them up on the internet and you can see what they have. www.cheeseburgerinparadise.com they have a really good bacon cheeseburger (without the bun) and fries.

Then you have Bonefish Grill and the Outback.

I hope this helps, if you have any other questions just let me know.

Have a good time at Myrtle Beach

I did look up Cheeseburger in Paradise and I think that will be great. Also, we have never been there! My little Celiacs are 4 and 2 so I think the mini cheeseburgers will be great. At that age they like different and small. I dont know if we are going to do Dixie Stampede cause of the cost more than the food. Its expensive! Last year we ate at Margaritaville and I had called ahead and made sure the burger was ok. When they brought it out the waiter also brought out a gluten free menu (with buns for the burgers and all) that they were getting ready to start. Like I posted though, they dont have it this year. Guess it didnt work out. I will look up the bonefish and see where it is. We have never eaten there. We are actually staying in North Myrtle. We have a condo with a kitchen so we will probably eat in more than out. Thanks for the help. I feel better knowing I have a few nights of not cooking! lol

Hi Stef,

We also stay in North Myrtle (we stay across from Barefoot landing, at Ocean Creek resorts) they too have a kitchen in the condo, but it is nice getting to go out. I too do enough cooking at home its nice to get a break. We have only gone to Bonefish Grill once and it was last year, it was kind of fancy and expensive too. I'm sure you have been to Outback so you know what they have there. The food at Cheeseburger in paradise is really good and is very affordable and a cute place. You can even get it to go which we did one night because it was raining so bad one of us just went out to pick it up and we ate back at the condo. I also have a 2 and 4 year old and 14 and 17 year old, my husband, Jeff is the only one who has Celiac.

Let me know if you need help finding Cheeseburger in paradise, its really easy to find.

Bye

Hi Sue

I just had to tell you... my husband is Jeff too! lol. That is so funny. My children are the only two celiacs. And the oldest boy (4 1/2) is the only one that has been tested. The baby showed terrible gluten signs with very little gluten so that was that. I didnt want to put him through the testiing. My husband and I have not been tested and neither have symptoms. I think my father in law and sister in law show signs but they have not been tested either.

We stay in the north part of North Myrtle. Up near Cherry Grove. It a very quiet part of myrtle. Thats good to know that Cheeseburger does to go also. That is always handy. Eating out with a 2 year old (21 months actually) is stressful enough without having to ask 50 questions about food prep. Its just too much!!! :o

Hi Stef,

That is too funny that your husbands name is also Jeff . My husband is the only one who has been tested, no one else is showing any signs, he was tested in April 2006. Noah our 4 year old (he'll be 5 next month) and Aiden our 2 year old aren't showing any signs so I won't have them tested yet. They both seem to handle gluten just fine . We think his grandmother on his Dad's side (so his Dad's mom had it) she was never tested for it (we didn't know anything about it until 2006). But before she passed away probalby a few years before she seemed to always get sick the way my husband was.

Is your 21 month old a boy too ? I know what you mean about eating out with a 2 year old.

Yes the baby (i guess really a toddler) is a boy too. When he was right at a year he got a new teacher at daycare and she fed him gluten. After a month or so I started seeing the same signs I had seen with my older son so I had a confrence at school with his teacher, the director and the cook. The teacher didnt understand that flour was from wheat!!!! I was going to keep him gluten free till 2. But oh well.... probably wouldnt have made a difference. It is what it is.

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
