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.

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:

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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
