My Pf Changs Experience

So I chose PF changs the other night, haven't been for their gluten free stuff yet... and I was VERY happy with everything. The food was excellent, I felt great, and I even got to have a Redbridge to boot (Gluten free beer!)

It was funny because when I ordered the Redbridge, the waitress had no idea what I was talking about, and I had to point out that they had gluten free beer. She was tickled pink at the new information :P

We had the best experience at PF Changs. When our waiter came over carrying the tray with sauces, he started to put it on the table. He saw that I had a gluten-free menu and said, "Oh, you can't have this." I was so thrilled. I told him he was right, that I couldn't, but my hubby could. He brought me my own tray of sauces with gluten free soy sauce. I ordered the lemon chicken and the mango tea. YUM. Our server asked if we watched TV and said that there had been an episode on House that mentioned celiac. He also told us how they have different woks for the gluten free dishes.

Also, before I went, I had e-mailed Changs about what type of plate my food should come out on. They told me that allergen food will always be on their logo plates. Non-allergen foods will be on plain white plates.

When they brought my food, the server said gluten free lemon chicken and sure enough, it was on a PF Changs logo plate. I was happy happy!

Only the second time at a PF Chang (Metarie, La.) and all was well. Glad to have eaten there.

happy!

I just saw that episode last week with my roommate! House asked his team, "What could cause flattening of the villi?" Of course the first thing out of my mouth was "CELIAC" before House even had the chance to say the answer. LOL. I couldn't believe how I got through that whole episode until that point without even suspecting it.

I also had a good PF Changs experience. The guy also had a "whoa, you can't have that" moment with the soy sauce. He got it before I even had a chance to say it.

we went to the one in Pittsburgh--my husband had been listening to the Mountaineers in the car while my son and I went on in. When he got to the table he thought they must've given us the wrong menus--"Wow--it's actually laminated" :rolleyes:

It was delicious and it didn't cost us a small fortune like the Outback which has screwed up 2x now :angry:

My DS13 had a chicken/shrimp noodle dish, I had their chicken dish that was similar to Cantonese Chicken and my husband had shrimp with lobster sauce--all for about $36--not bad at all. And leftovers for the next day--yummm....

Definitely heading back--just wish that all of the good restaurants aren't an hour away from us--WV

I just saw this episode to!!! I did the same thing...I shouted Celiac Disease at the TV.

I haven't been to PF Changs since going gluten free but I think I'm going to have to try it soon!!! :P

      Hi. Yes. I’m awaiting my Biopsy results. I had B12 and other labs drawn on Mon, including Thyroid levels, as I am on Levothyroxine for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. Those levels should indicate any iodine issues. We had discussed the urine iodine, but he went with the thyroid instead. We’ll see.  I never had any of those Pellagra skin changes, or Casal’s necklace. Just itchiness in the supraclavicular hollows on both sides of my neck, and the anterior aspect as my neck radiation site.  The hollows had no changes until I scratched them, then I got the rash on those areas like the ones I have now scattered in different areas, usually on both sides with the exception of my anterior thighs. My right is affected, my left isn’t. I am 70 and have all my teeth as well - amazingly after having had max dose radiation in 2002. 😂 Unfortunately, because of long term changes in my oral mucosa because of it I can’t use mouthwashes - even non-alcohol ones, as they all burn my mouth like fire. Toothpastes burn as well, but not nearly as bad. I have an electric toothbrush but it is getting more difficult to use due to increasing trismus. Some days I cannot open my mouth wide enough to get the electric brush between my back teeth, so on those days I use a regular one. Gotta do what you gotta do.  Thank you for your input. Any insight I can get into this is appreciated. So, for now it’s the waiting game for test results, then we can form a treatment plan going forward.

      By James47 · Posted

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week
