Has anyone had problems eating at pf changs? I am kinda nervous about the cross contamination. I am also wondering if their lettuce wraps were on the gluten free menu. THANK U BERRY MUCH IN ADVANCE~!!! :lol: I was also wondering just for fun, :ph34r: what that guy means. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE STUPID QUESTION IN ADVANCE AGAIN.

I usually eat at the bar. I find they give me extra special attention there and are very careful to be sure my food is gluten-free. I try not to go during rush hour. My favorite is the Changs chicken( it is small pieces of chicken fried with a sweet sauce and the steamed veggies . The lettuce wraps don't fill me up at all. The scallops are real good also. I like the teas (not green teas) Their potato vodka martini's are good too. Don't eat the fortune cookie. I'm on a rice free diet but I eat it there. (Brown Rice) They mix up a good sauce - hot sauce, gluten-free soy sauce and mustard. Yummm -- I bring the leftovers home. LindaLee

The Changs Spicy Chicken really reminds me of Chicken McNuggets, which i think it why i like it so much because sometimes I crave chicken McNuggets even though they're awful and I haven't had one in like 10 years.

I eat there a lot and have never had an issue. The gluten free lettuce wraps are the best food ever. I also had their gluten free chocolate truffle last time. Oh my god, can you spell heaven??

I am pretty sure something made me have a reaction there. I ordered the lettuce wraps and used the sauce that they make up. I thought it was something in the sauce, but not sure. I didn't know you could order gluten free at the time.

if you don't order them gluten free, they will make ones that are NOT gluten free. that's probably why you got sick.

I just went to PF yestarday and

1. The waiter was a good guesser, he thought I had celiac

2. I ate about 15 gluten-free lettuce wraps

3. I had these snappy peas with garlic that were quite tasty

4. My cousin tried to "poison me" with the soy sauce (she thought they were all gluten free)(I forgave her because she just bought me 2 swimsuits :P )

5. I felt sick, not because of gluten-free but because I ate all of there new gluten-free dessert, which is like a chocolate truffle moose :blink: (I don't know how to spel) with this wonderful raspberry sauce. I flatly refused to share and on top of the lettuce wraps and the garlic peas, I was really, really full. Thank u sooooo much for all of your suggestions! I am excited for my b-day dinner so I can go to changs instead of eating at my papas kitchen (which is littarly my papas kitchen. (we go out to dindin on bdays and it was mac's and he chose changs for me so I could eat somthing)

:ph34r: Btw, my favorite explanation was that I am feeling violent, my second was I am a ninja!! :lol:

Wooohooo! I have one right around the corner from my house!

I am brand new at this, both the forum & the disease. My wife and I went to PF Changs last weekend and it was great! Our bartender handed us our gluten-free menu and asked "who has Celiacs?" It was a huge relief I was really worried about eating out. They were helpful and nice and I didn't have a reaction. And the lettuce wraps were great!

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
