Went to PF Chang's tonight. Hadn't been there in forever. My friend and I started with the chicken lettuce wraps. About half-way through my first wrap, our waitress comes out and says "I hate to do this to you guys.. but those aren't gluten-free." Luckily it wasn't enough to make me feel sick. But just thought I'd throw the warning out there. And, at least they noticed before I was through with it! :huh:

Did she bring you other lettuce wraps? What was in them to not be gluten free???

My husband took me to the one in Pittsburgh about a month ago. My first time there, and my first time out to eat in I can't even remember how long..... anyway, I was soooo sick! I lost 9 pounds in just a 24 hour period. It took me over 8 days to start to feel better.

Here's my trick for ordering the Chicken lettuce wraps at PF Changs, I think I learned it here:

Order the crunchy/crispy rice noodles on the side, this will make them look visually different from all the orders of regular ones, they sell so many of these I can see how they could get mixed up in the kitchen. So if you order them 'gluten free, noodles on the side' that just adds one more layer of attentiveness your server will have to give the order. Also, it seems that the gluten free chicken mix is a shade lighter than the regular ones, if you've seen them side by side, so you can also check color when it arrives to you.

Hope it helps, I love those chicken lettuce wraps so much I don't want to give them up!

She brought me new wraps. I didn't notice any difference in the rice crispy noodles, but the gluten-free chicken was definitely lighter. The gluteny ones were fairly dark and saucy.. but the new ones weren't. I thought it looked a little too soy saucy. But, like I said, luckily they caught it and it wasn't enough to make me sick. I enjoyed the rest of my dinner right down to the chocolate dome! :D

You are lucky, I was so sick.... BTW, I don't remember having any rice crispy noodles in mine.

sometimes they put rice noodles in mine, sometimes they don't. i don't understand why, by all accounts they are gluten free.

We had a bad experience at the PF Chang's in Columbia Maryland. The lettuce wraps were fine but the Steamed Salmon was contaminated.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
