Pf Chang's - Crunchy Stuff In Lettuce Wraps

Hi all!

Whenever I go eat PF Chang's I get my food to go. My usual order is Lettuce Wraps and the Chang's Spicy Chicken. And maybe some cake. :D The other night I went there with a friend, and we ate in the restaurant. I ordered the Lettuce Wraps and they were served on top of some crunchy white noodles. When I order the Lettuce Wraps to go, they are not served with those noodles. So what are those noodles? Are they rice? I ended up feeling very sick that night and all day yesterday, and I have no idea if it was the Lettuce Wraps or the Spicy Chicken. This is the first time I've ever gotten sick from Chang's since going gluten-free. My Lettuce Wraps definitely looked different than my friend's - hers were much darker and richer looking.

Thanks!

They are rice noodles and most likely not on your to-go meal is because they would get soggy.

There is always a chance for a mix-up, but I have yet to hear of one. If you notice, even the plates that they serve are different shaped to aid the waitstaff.

As for the plates, I think it depends on the PF Changs. When I contacted them, it wasn't the shape of the plates, but whether they were plain white or had a logo on it.

I always eat the little white crunchy things and have never had a problem with them.

Thanks for your input, everyone! I have no idea what made me sick, but I hope to have better luck next time!

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
