I don't eat at PF Changs often b/c it is 20 - 30 minutes from my house, but we did tonight. I usually eat Phillips Better Lemon Chicken, which is very good. Tonight I decided to try something new and had the Singapore Street Noodles (rice noodles) and I was amazed...WOW!!! Noodles with carrots, tomotoes, chicken, shrimp and a curry sauce. My non-gluten-free Step Dad & Mom tried it and they both commented on how good it was too. Finished dinner off with the flourless Chocolate Dome with raspberry sauce...OMG...TDF!!

If you get a chance to try this dish out, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I used to eat at P. F. Chang's all the time before I started gluten-free. I was so happy to find that they have a gluten-free menu, and the first thing I tried was the Singapore Street Noodles. Since they were so good and I felt fine after eating them, I haven't tried anything else yet! I've had them about 3 or 4 times now.

Be very careful at PF Changs. I used to go once a week but had such a bad experience on Friday night I refuse to go back. To make a long story short, I ordered the gluten-free singapore street noodles off of the gluten-free menu and they brought me the gluten version. I even confirmed with the server when he brought the noodles that they were gluten free and he said they were. I could tell they were not gluten free since they had some fried stuff on top which I have never seen on the gluten free version. I got my waitress and she confirmed with the kitchen that the dish was NOT gluten free. I complained to the manager. I wasn't mean or rude but I said I very narrowly avoided getting EXTREMELY sick. I can now no longer trust them when they bring me a dish and claim it is gluten free since apparently that means nothing. If the gluten had not been so blatently obvious I would still be doubled over sick from my meal on Friday. Since I am pregnant I am risking more than my own health right now so I just can't take the chance of eating there again. :(

That could happen anywhere. It only takes one person to screw things up, no matter how many precautions are in place.

It's good that you complained to the manager. I hope that they figured out how it happened so that this won't happen again, at least at that particular restaurant.

I went to PF Changs for the first time last Tuesday. I met up with two friends who were in from out of town.

(I had just introduced them via email when one sent an email, mentioning that he was changing airlines -he's a pilot - I knew another kayaker who was a pilot for the new airline. My firend ended up training my friend who was new to the airline. Small world. )

I don't know either one super well, I've paddled with both 5-8 times, but they are both really nice guys. I asked for the gluten-free menu, and of course ended up answering a few questions about Celiac/Gluten-free. then Dan said," Hey, why don't we all order gluten-free so we can share and try different things". I thought that was super, super, super cool. I really enjoyed my meal, spending time with the guys and eating everything on the table.

My Favorite was the Singapore Street Noodles. We also had a chicken dish, sort of fried? And a beef and broccoli dish. Yummy.

Chocolate dome was great too!

I just went to PF Changs last wednesday with my non-gluten-free boyfriend for his birthday.

We go there alot for special occasions, because it is one of the only places that i can eat and feel safe doing so.

we had such a great evening, we shared the gluten-free lettuce wrap things and i got the gluten-free better lemon chicken and he what he wanted, then we shared the gluten-free flour less chocolate dome...amazing!!!

I had no reactions to anything and the evening was one to remember...not only was it his bday, but he surprised me with pearl earrings, necklace and bracelet! so sweet!

anyways..pf changs is amazing and im hoping to go back for my bday next month!

I'm sort of sad to say something negative about PF's because I think their food is amazing--but I had a going-away party at PF Chang's Boston ( I moved for the summer ) and I got glutened after ordering off the gluten free menu. I asked for the Pf Chang's gluten free version of the crispy chicken (sort of looked like General Tsu's--can't remember what they called it). It was very good, but I could sort of tell half way through the meal that it wasn't gluten free...the texture was..wheat-y (Ive been gluten free almost since birth so I'm pretty familiar with what gluten free stuff is like). Or if there wasnt wheat in the actual stuff there must have been cross contamination. And I was sick for 3 days afterwards. Couldn't have been the soy sauce either, because they brought out special gluten-free stuff for me. It was a bummer because I was so excited they had a gluten free menu.

pei wei is awesome. i had really great service when i went to one in southern california.

i finally had the singapore street noodles for the first time cos of the recommendations on this site - SO GOOD! i used to think chang's spicy chicken was my favorite but now this is it!

quick question about the lettuce wraps: is the gluten free version supposed to have the rice stick noodles in it? cos last week i got them and they were in it, then this week i got them and they weren't.

The chicken you are referring to is all gluten free, even on the reglar menu...it might have been cc.

WE went here for lunch today - first time - was fantastic! My little girl was so happy to be eating out, first time in a very long time!! We all ordered gluten-free so we could share, what fun!!!! We had the luttuce wraps, Singapore Street Noodles, the spicy chicken, like general tso's, moo goo gi pan, and the wonderful chocolate desert!! Hoping to go back sometime next month, it is about 2 hours from my house. (I have my fingers crossed that I feel as good tomorrow as I do today!)

astyanax: Yes, the lettuce wraps are suppose to have the rice noodles in them, not alot but there are in there.

You can go to the website and view the specialty menu..it will tell you what ingredients are in the item.

Fiddle-Faddle: Oh, and Thanks for the recipe!! I will be trying this sometime soon!

I had an awful experience last week. I ordered the gluten free street noodles and when they arrived they seemed different. The server assured me that they were gluten free and checked with the manager. After I had eaten half of it, she said o ya, those are egg noodles. I was glutened. Be very careful at PF CHangs.

The Boston location now has a dedicated section of the kitchen for gluten free items so as to avoid contamination.

We went to Pf Changs for the 1st time since DD was dx. she ordered the ginger chickan and broccoli. It was amazing she eat it all up! The waitress was a bit of a ditz and the place was crowded so I was nervous but she was fine after so I was thrilled!

Updated Information about the Chang's Spicy Chicken. In August P.F. Chang's changed the supplier of their chili paste which is found any many of their dishes. The item is still on the gluten free menu, but the taste has changed. This signature dish now has a strong vinegar taste paired with the distinct flavor of chili paste. If you have enjoyed this before then you would know that this was a sweet and spicy dish.

The managers and wait staff were not notified of the change and many still do not know about it. I have been eating at P.F. Chang's once a week for many years and this is my favorite dish. I noticed the change and originally the manager stated that they had not changed the dish. Then he spoke to the chef and found out about the ingredient change. Again it is still on the gluten free menu and I did not have a reaction, but someone reading this may need to be aware of the change. Also the manager at our regular location said that if people email or contact the company that they would likely make a correction. You can visit their web site and ask questions or send in your comments.

The chili paste is an ingredient in several menu items and those of us with intolerances/allergies should be aware of the change. Also know that the wait staff and managers were unaware of the change and it is always best to check with the chef if you have concerns.

We also had a bad experience at the PF Chang's in Columbia Maryland. The lettuce wraps were fine but my girlfriend got sick off the gluten-free Salmon Steamed with Ginger. Sadly, we may never go there again.

My non-gluten-free husband and I went there for the first time and the gluten-free menu looked good enough for him to be willing to share dishes with me. We ordered the chicken lettuce wrap, the Singapore stree noodles, and lemon scallops! Delicious! and I had leftovers to take for 2 lunches! He enjoyed it too and we will be back. Next time less food so I can get the chocolate dome.

After reading so much about Pf Changs I would really like to try it but never thought there was one close to home. But just recently have heard there is one in either Vancouver or Portland. Does any one know of this and where they might be?

Thank you,

Grump

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
