Good Thing We Called!

So my daughter called Red Lobster and asked if they "have gluten free food". Dude goes, "uh, no", and she goes, "well, broiled fish has flour on it?" and he goes, "uh, I think they 'paint' something on it before they send it to us :o so, we can't guarantee that it's gluten free unless you buy a live lobster from the tank".

Well, when I was six, I was in Chicago with my daddy and he took me to some fancy famous Chicago restaurant and told me to pick me out a lobster from this tank, so I did.

AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO ME ON A PLATE KILLED AND DEAD! and OMG the scene I caused in that restaurant! My poor daddy and those people that worked there, oh, God love 'em.... I thought it was going to be a PET! Serious story, folks!

So we're going to Changs, I trust them. But I can't remember, is it a round or square plate so you know they remembered to do it gluten free?

Also, can I order a margerita? Or just a huge jug of tequila? What's the story on that? Turns out, there's 22 people coming to my birthday party, so I'm gonna need a drink! And I don't even know WHO the 22 people are! Anyway, I hope they're people I like LOL :P

so, what's the story on the drink and the plate?

Now I have a fat swollen half a face and a red, swollen eye - I look like a prize fighter or one of them mean Kentucky girls that wants to fight everyone she sees, but that aint me, cuz now I also burned my eye today when I turned on the air in my car and the fan thing blew a hot, red ash straight onto my eyeball, but I won't go into that cuz kareng worries about me and my frivolities!

You want the round plate with the PF Chang's logo around the edge. Can't help on the drink--I always order wine.

Have a great time--I love the Philip's Better Lemon Chicken, I almost always end up ordering it.

Get the chocolate dome for dessert--tell them it's your birthday and maybe they'll put a candle in it.

Happy Birthday :D

Oh, yeah, Patti! I was going to ask about that dessert, too, cuz I saw that on their online menu! Man, I will be SO nervous eating that! You've had it? It's ok?

OMG! I love your lobster story. That's hilarious!

I love P.F. Chang's! They tell you when you order what plate they'll bring your gluten-free food on. Make sure they bring you the gluten-free soy sauce too. You absolutely have to have the lettuce wrap appetizer. They're sooooo good!

Tequilla is gluten-free for sure. Margarita mix should be too, though they can probably tell you. I can't drink margaritas any more. I had too many with cheap tequilla down in Mexico and I get queasy just thinking about them now. :lol: I tend to drink sake at Chang's but not everyone likes it.

Have a great birthday party. Sounds fun. B)

Seriously good!!! . . . I'm not the Celiac, my daughter is . . . Is it bad when you steal half your daughter's dessert? I couldn't let her have too many sweets, you know?

I've had it many times! It's so good--the raspberry sauce they put over the top is a thing of beauty!

The gluten-free menu is on the back page of the regular menu--just be sure to tell the waiter you will be ordering off the gluten-free menu. I've never had a problem there.

On Monday at work, I ordered chicken and shrimp fried rice. It tasted a bit like Heaven, yes it did. Man, I wish I could cook like that at home. Their food is seriously good.

I also am going to write an appreciation letter to Red Lobster because they were HONEST about it. My daughter asked first if they could accommodate a party that big, and they sure could have lied about it. So even though they couldn't say it's gluten-free, they told the truth, and that means more to me than if they were gluten-free. Did that make sense?

Makes perfect sense--all I ask of any company is to be honest with the facts so I can make up my own mind.

Happy Birthday, Connie!

PF Changs sounds like a great choice.

And now the eye thing..... I don't ever want to be on the same airplane as you, on the same road, or drinking out of the same wine box! :P

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
