We dinned at the PF Changs in Tempe AZ over Valentines Day weekend. We were told by the staff there that as of March 18, 2010, their gluten free menu would be much expanded, to include pork and beef items. She said the items will double that they offer for gluten free dining! I am so excitied! We love PF Changs and I am excitied to be able to eat the beef and pork items along with the chicken and seafood they already offer. Way to go PF Changs!!

Nice to hear....the more options the better!

Instead of the opposite. I used to like eating at Austin Grill. The last time I ate there, the menu had been drastically reduced and the two items I would always get weren't on the menu anymore. <_< One was just simple cheese enchiladas. Not on the gluten-free menu. Yet, there was spinach-cheese enchiladas. I tried explaining to the waitress I just wanted cheese enchilada, which used to be there...can't she just take out the spinach? But something bad must have happened to them gluten-wise, since she was very strict and paranoid-seeming about going off the menu at all. I felt discouraged, and my already weak faith in restaurant-dining was diminished even further, so I left.

Looks good. I wonder if the P.F. Chang's where I live has those additions. Your menu seems to have more chicken items than mine did when I went in December, too. I'll have to check it out...

Just had lunch at PF Changs in Walnut Creek, CA. Great experience. I asked the waiter for the gluten-free menu and it was full of yummy sounding possibilities. Since I'm also watching soy and casein, I asked if they could accommodate, and he said anything could be made however I needed it. I ended up getting the Singapore noodles without the soy and shrimp, just chicken, veggies and rice noodles. It was really good.

The manager stopped by the table a little while later to check how the gluten-free meal was and told us they've got the new menu coming this month with about 30 gluten free items to choose from. He described how they have a separate wok station for just gluten free meals, make sure all cooking utensils are washed in between preparation, put the food on special red plates during prep and special white plates for serving so the waitstaff know it's gluten-free.

PF Changs really has this down to a science. Hope other restaurants will follow suit.

That's great news- I may have to give them a shot. I wonder if their more casual sister restaurant Pei Wei is going to add items. I usually go there or get carry out since we have small children.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
