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

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
