They Got Me!

[sandsurfgirl]

I've been eating gluten free at Pei Wei every week with no problem but on Friday night they got me!!!!

I've had anxiety, heart racing, D then C, horrible stabbing pains and I'm so bloated I look preggo. I weighed myself and I gained 5 pounds from yesterday to today in water and bloating.

Gah!!! I need to call them tomorrow when it's not so busy and let them know they need to be more careful.

I'll give them another chance. They glutened me once out of like 20 times I've eaten there. But darnit. It is true that every time you eat out you take a risk, but the alternative really sucks.

You poor thing ... I'm so sorry! And on a holiday too!

Sorry that happened. I haven't chanced it for some time. Too chicken. I get glutened enough as it is.

I'm sorry you got glutened. I hope you feel better soon. Every time we go out we are playing roulette. That's why I don't eat out very often.

Ugh! I just ate there today. I was happy they had a gluten free menu, but I most certainly understand how risky it is for us to eat out no matter the precautions they take. Hope you feel better soon.

I hate that happened to you! I have eaten out 3 times since learning of my Celiac status. I had one good experience. My dietition said you have to live, but right now, I'm having too much pain in my own home. I hope you feel better soon!

I eat out at most twice per month. I seem to get glutened or at least CCed about 1/3 of the time. IMO the alternative doesn't suck that much.

That's awful! I eat out a lot and I've only been glutened 3 times. Once it was McD's fries. They must have messed up the dedicated fryer. I will never eat McD's fries again. The second was Daphne's fries. Won't eat fries except In N Out now. Then Pei Wei.

But I've seriously eaten Pei Wei at least 20 times since diagnosis so that's pretty decent odds. I've never gotten sick from them before.

It's not an easy choice whether to eat out or not, but the lifestyle I lead demands it.
