Gluten-Free In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I will be vacationing at the end of July in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 8 days. My extended family has been doing this for almost 15 years now. This will be the first year that I will have to think about eating gluten free. My family loves, loves, lovessss eating out. Well I used to as well (I went from eating out several times a week to now I've eaten out THREE times since April). So to make a long story short, I know we will be looking to dine out at restaurants nightly while at the beach. Does anyone here have any experience eating gluten-free in Myrtle Beach? Any restaurant suggestions? Any places to stay away from? Any good places? I have some time to look up things on the internet and make some phone calls, but I thought I'd ask here too for first-hand experience from you all! Looking forward to responses!

Buffalo Wild Wings is in Conway and you can eat a few things there. Lowes Foods (foodstore) has great gluten free sections, as does Kroger. Bovines in Murrells Inlet has gluten free options. Prossers BBQ has gluten free options. Really any seafood place can make something to your liking and will work to cater to you. There's a chic-fil-a at Surfside and a PF Changs at Market Commons.

Plenty of options for you :)

Highly 2nd Abuelo's--very yummy.

Greg Norman's was safe (I was told the chef would come--he/she did not, then when I questioned several items, the waiter was clueless so I'm saying it was safe because we lucked out)

Here's a link to a thread from last summer: hope it helps--it jogged my memory and made me want to be there right now!!!

Thanks for all the insider tips! That old link was helpful too, Margaritaville and Uno's weren't on my possible list yet. Appreciate the responses!

*UPDATE* Back from Myrtle Beach!

I just spent 8 days in Myrtle Beach and I wanted to share the restaurants I had great experiences with, in case anyone else is planning to go there. I found that there are MANY safe places to eat. Joe's Crab Shack has a gluten free menu and I had no problems there. (Their crab legs are awesome!) I also had great experiences at Olive Garden, Cheeseburger In Paradise, and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. All of these places have gluten free menus and they are knowledgable about gluten. Margaritaville even has a dedicated kitchen just for gluten free, the chef even came out to my table to talk with me (in a restaurant that had a 2 1/2 hour wait time for a table!). For the first time in a looong time I was able to eat french fries in a restaurant (at Cheeseburger in Paradise and also Margaritaville) I even ate at Wendy's fast food with my internet printed gluten free menu in hand and happened to get extremely lucky b/c the manager there has a niece with Celiac and so she knew all about it. She made the employees change gloves, utensils, cleaned the prep surface, and even washed the frosty machine! It seemed like at all of the places people went out of their way to make it safe for me to eat and feel comfortable. I was nervous before going because I had only eaten out 3-4 times since diagnosis in April but knew I 'd be eating out a lot b/c I went with 10 other family members and everyone loves eating out. I think if you emphasis how SICK it makes you with a positive attitude, people are willing to do a lot for you. Just wanted to share my experiences... Before going I did my research and had a list of about 25 restaurants I could eat at down there. Overall a positive experience with food.

Even if she had posted it, this is 9 years old.  There are a lot more places that do gluten-free well these days.  Some of the restaurants might be out of business, etc.  a good resource is to google “ find me gluten free and the city name”.  The Find Me gluten-free website has reviews by others that you might find helpful

      Alpine Brand Spiced Cider

      By WednesdayAddams13 · Posted

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
