My Pf Changs Experience

So I chose PF changs the other night, haven't been for their gluten free stuff yet... and I was VERY happy with everything. The food was excellent, I felt great, and I even got to have a Redbridge to boot (Gluten free beer!)

It was funny because when I ordered the Redbridge, the waitress had no idea what I was talking about, and I had to point out that they had gluten free beer. She was tickled pink at the new information :P

We had the best experience at PF Changs. When our waiter came over carrying the tray with sauces, he started to put it on the table. He saw that I had a gluten-free menu and said, "Oh, you can't have this." I was so thrilled. I told him he was right, that I couldn't, but my hubby could. He brought me my own tray of sauces with gluten free soy sauce. I ordered the lemon chicken and the mango tea. YUM. Our server asked if we watched TV and said that there had been an episode on House that mentioned celiac. He also told us how they have different woks for the gluten free dishes.

Also, before I went, I had e-mailed Changs about what type of plate my food should come out on. They told me that allergen food will always be on their logo plates. Non-allergen foods will be on plain white plates.

When they brought my food, the server said gluten free lemon chicken and sure enough, it was on a PF Changs logo plate. I was happy happy!

Only the second time at a PF Chang (Metarie, La.) and all was well. Glad to have eaten there.

happy!

I just saw that episode last week with my roommate! House asked his team, "What could cause flattening of the villi?" Of course the first thing out of my mouth was "CELIAC" before House even had the chance to say the answer. LOL. I couldn't believe how I got through that whole episode until that point without even suspecting it.

I also had a good PF Changs experience. The guy also had a "whoa, you can't have that" moment with the soy sauce. He got it before I even had a chance to say it.

we went to the one in Pittsburgh--my husband had been listening to the Mountaineers in the car while my son and I went on in. When he got to the table he thought they must've given us the wrong menus--"Wow--it's actually laminated" :rolleyes:

It was delicious and it didn't cost us a small fortune like the Outback which has screwed up 2x now :angry:

My DS13 had a chicken/shrimp noodle dish, I had their chicken dish that was similar to Cantonese Chicken and my husband had shrimp with lobster sauce--all for about $36--not bad at all. And leftovers for the next day--yummm....

Definitely heading back--just wish that all of the good restaurants aren't an hour away from us--WV

I just saw this episode to!!! I did the same thing...I shouted Celiac Disease at the TV.

I haven't been to PF Changs since going gluten free but I think I'm going to have to try it soon!!! :P

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
