Perfect Evening At P.f. Changs

Hi everyone,

I feel a little strange posting in the restaurant forum since I have not eaten at one since shortly after my diagnosis almost 4 years ago. :lol:

Today was a special day for my husband and I, and I decided to take the plunge and go out to dinner. We went to P.F. Changs in The Woodlands, Texas and had the most amazing experience--so incredible in fact that I had to share.

After we were seated our waiter, Seth, brought me the gluten-free menu I had requested. My husband (very protective) explained that I had Celiac, was very sensitive, and that this was the first time I'd tried a restaurant in a very long time. Seth was extremely knowledgeable about gluten intolerance (and allergies), and assured me that he would see to it that my food was handled separately, prepared in clean pans, in a dedicated area, etc. I was so impressed, that I didn't even feel it necessary to speak to the manager.

However, within a few minutes, the manager Josh came to our table and reiterated that they would do everything possible to insure a safe meal. He told me that he was overseeing the process personally.

The food was delicious--I had the lemon chicken. :D During the course of the meal, they checked back with us, along with another staff member also named Josh who was very nice. Even though the place was nearly full, we were given outstanding personal treatment.

After we finished, both Seth and Josh came back to our table with a gluten-free chocolate bombe dessert (with a candle in it, no less :rolleyes: ) and said that they had decided to not only treat us to dessert, but to take care of our whole dinner check! I was so touched, I can't even tell you. :wub:

Two hours later, and I feel fine ;) All in all, a wonderful dining experience!

This is one of the best posts i've read on here in 4 years.

I'm just thrilled your first dinner out was perfect.

So now this place can your 'get away' place for sure.

Happy Anniv by the way

You so deserve this special nite.

Oh Pat-T :wub:

this is just SO SPECIAL! I'm so thrilled for your perfect evening, and those WONDERFUL employees!

I have had such good luck at PF Chang's that I wrote a letter to their corporate offices. :) I've never had a problem there, everyone has been extremely knowledgeable, and it's always delish.

Looks like you and Mark have a safe place to eat now!

:)

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
