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!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
