Forbidden City Bistro

Have now eaten 2x at Forbidden City Bistro on Main St in Middletown CT. Basically a quite nice Chinese (with some other asian influences) restaurant, they also have a bar you can eat at and they do take out. They can handle gluten-free very well for a Chinese restaurant. And they have a nice wine list :)

The first time we were there (2 months ago or so) we barely called ahead, and I was able to choose from at least 2 or 3 entrees that would be easy to be gluten-free with no notice.

Yesterday we were there with a dining group that had a pre-set menu. I called ahead 4 days ago, the person who answered the phone was familiar with the intended menu and said they would be able to accommodate me no problem, and make sure to identify myself when I got there.

So, several dishes I had with no sauce, and one was served to me as a lettuce wrap while others had a pancake. All in all a very tasty experience. They even have some asian 100% rice noodles - wow! They brought "my" dishes first so it was clear I was getting the right plate.

The next time we go I think I will bring some gluten-free tamari or gluten-free soy sauce with me, or ask for some from the kitchen (if I've called far enough ahead). But all in all a very successful outing!

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
