Has anyone had any issues with P F Chang's gluten free options? We ordered gluten-free Mongolian Beef.....but we are unsure if they might have accidentally prepared with non gluten-free ingredients.

No. I've eaten there twice, two different places in two different cities, no issues.
The servers could use my training, but I didn't get sick.

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I live in Lees Summit!

I am not diagnosed with anything yet... But I am in the process of trying to get things figured out...

Yes. welcome from STL, cross state neighbor.

A friend asked me last night, "aren't you going to eat?". I said no i already ate before I came.
He said what did you eat? Cheerios? LOL, uh no dude I cannot eat Cheerios.
He laughed after he realized what he said.

There needs to be more support groups or something for this. Something more local that everyone could meetup.
I saw someone in the store the other day with gluten-free items and thought about striking up a conversation with him, but didn't.

My wife and I split in May after 15 years of marriage. I could tell she was just exhausted from my sickness and other issues. She never complained about it, but she didn't have to.
Its sort of ironic but now that I feel better somewhat I don't have anyone to spend time with.
My friends try to be supportive but I find myself isolated more often that not because of my dietary restrictions and not being a couple anymore.
I figured its probably for the best, not putting myself into situation i could get sick more easily. It doesn't make being alone any easier, but I figure I'm not the only one and maybe someday I'll meet someone with a similar history.

I've had better luck with teaching Dr.s or hospitals. They students are a lot more likely to pay closer attention to your history and symptoms. At least in my experience. I saw numerous Dr.s over 10+ years, so many symptoms and issues. It wasn't until I went to a Uni Dr. that they finally diagnosed me. They actually used the slides from a previous biopsy and made the diagnosis. One that another Dr. or lab had said was negative.
