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

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By jamiet06 · Posted

      Hello, I hope I am posting this in the correct space, so apologies if not! After my last two endoscopies (2019 and 2024), I received the following comment in my report: Duodenal biopsy: Duodenal mucosa with mild intra-epithelial lymphocytosis in the presence of normal villous architecture. Comment: Findings are non-specific. They can be seen in coeliac disease, peptic or medication induced injury and H.pylori infection among others. Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended. I didn't have an ulcer and crohns disease was not mentioned to me. For the past few years I have had on and off digestive issues (gas, mild diarrhea, lower abdominal bloating). Just recently I went to my GP and he stated it was probably all related to IBS, however, I forgot to mention this statement from my endoscopy report. Does this sound like it is pointing towards celiacs? I am a 52 year old male. Any advice would be awesome. Thank you

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By cococo · Posted

      My kids take Whole Earth & Sea Kid’s Multivitamin as per our naturopath’s recommendation. They’re chewable but can be crushed and added to juice or food. No gums or citric acid. GMO free and gluten free too.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.
