Last night we went out to dinner with our neighbors to the nearest PF Changs that we have frequented since they opened. I called them on Saturday and talked about my corn allergy to the mgr. that was going to open on Sunday. She called me back mid-afternoon on Sunday and said she talked to the chef and I would be able to have the gluten-free foods I usually order. She also told me to bring a printout of the menu and this coming week they would go over it with the chef and make notations on what I need to substiture so that their is no corn in them. They will mail it back to me for future reference. When we got there, the chef came out to talk to me and said this was not a problem and that they would always take care of this for me. They used potato starch as a thickening agent in my sauce. This was so great as I have been really concerned over the corn problem. I spent so much time finding places that were safe to eat and now I have to start over and email or call them to discuss the corn. We all had a wonderfull dinner and I was totally relaxed knowing that PF Changs took my concerns so seriously.

:wub: PF Changs :wub:

Their singapore noodles with chicken and shrimp is a wonder to behold.

Unfortunatly it's a haul to get there - about 1 1/2 hrs. (Palm Beach Gardens, FL)

Sometimes I go to their website just to reminisce. :rolleyes:

I am glad to hear that you had such a great experience. I had a good one too when I went to Atlantic City in NJ. It is a great place to go and I cant wait to go again!

My friend is here for a week and said last night "I want to take you out to a good seafood resturant" I said ,"The only place I go Is PF Changs". She said, "Good, Let's go there!" We're going shopping today and taking a cooler with us. She's ok with that and said she is going on the diet to see if she feels better. Hope she doesn't have it-she's a caterer. LindaLee

PF Changs has been wonderful to me each time I've dined there. The staff has been fantastic with their gluten-free menu. Overall, I think their food is overrated but I know it's safe. I might venture to the Cheesecake Factory tomorrow for lunch with friends. I know their fries are not safe but I think I can find something on the menu to be safe. I hope.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
