I brought all my food today for lunch, but there was a big meeting going on with Panda Express... I succumbed. Keeping in mind my newly discovered wheat sensitivity, I chose broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, and rice. Our plates are 9" in diameter, so I kept my portions small :) I got about 6 bites into my meal when I felt uncomfortable. I was sitting at my desk, so I checked the nutrition notes on Panda Express's website and discovered that both the main course items were "yes" for wheat. It must be in the sauces.
I am uncomfortable and my office mates are in for a long afternoon... Of course, I did not finish my meal, and I ate very little so it's not as bad as it could be. I am a religious person and I believe that God gives us messages when He wants us to do something. I am absolutely convinced that I am not supposed to eat wheat, LOL!
What's more, there was a 7-UP cake in the break room this morning (one of my all-time favorites) and I didn't eat any because I was afraid of the wheat. It's ironic that food I thought would be okay for me is causing this issue. There was a little devil sitting on my shoulder, though, whispering, "You already feel crummy; eat the cake!"
I'm glad I have carrots and hummus with me :) I'll tell you what: avoiding temptation is easy when you get plagued every time you eat something "bad" for you. Time for a walk.

I don't know their menu's but the spices and condiments can also be unique to you and bother you. I am sorry you feel bad. That post that Kenna made the other day on Fructans may also add things to your list. some things I would never expect. I was having weird symptoms after drinking my bone broth and for the life of me could figure out what was wrong, then I looked up a list of Fructans foods and there was the onion. It might not relate to you but if you are sensitive to wheat and several of these other fructans were in the meal as well, it might be the issue. You only got bloated and retained water after flour products if I remember correctly before, not actually feeling ill.

Thanks, friends! I am 5 years out from my colonoscopy, which was clean. I'm sure it's not celiac disease; I have two friends with it and my symptoms are WAY milder. Today my symptoms were almost immediate cramping and gas and that was only after about 6 bites, so I think it's a wheat sensitivity. However, I'm open to checking out other foods, so I'll investigate that Fructan list, too, Baskington. I'm noticing wheat because I reduced/eliminated it from my diet and now I notice that when I eat it I almost immediately have these negative symptoms. It seems to happen right away, too. It could be the spices, too... I'm not a very "spicy" person :)

I love Panda Express's terriaki chicken. I order it without noodles or pasta. Just the chicken, plain with no sauce, and a big portion of their mixed vegetables. You could check and see if those have gluten first. Since I'm more concerned with cals/carbs I don't pay attention to gluten but with gluten comes extra carbs so I probably don't eat much gluten. So sorry it gives you problems.

garlic and onions are at the top of the list, some things surprised me. I have so many sensitivities, but many of the foods just happen to be on my bloodwork tests too. that is another option you can look at with your doctor, there are a few basic ones you can test in the bloodwork. If you have several then you can go to get a true allergy test. but for basic to find out if you do have sensitivities it is an easy check.

I have loved Panda Express for a long time. I don't know where this sensitivity is coming from! A friend told me that I may have been eating so much wheat that I kind of anesthesized myself and didn't notice until the symptoms were urgent (like IBS). It kind of stinks! My older son brews his own beer and guess who doesn't get to taste it?

Oh wow, I eat either or both garlic an onions every single day. I can't begin to imagine cooking without them. They are two of the top 3 seasoning veggies in my house, next to grated ginger. Did not even realize people could have a allergy to them. That's a real bummer! 😫😥

I like Panda Express. Usually get the mushroom chicken or broccoli beef but skip the rice and substitute the mixed veggies. Very low in calories but tasty

it is more an issue of not being able to digest them than actual allergy when it comes to fructans. IBS issues. I don't have those with them but I do think the onion was my problem. I hope

Baskington, I had onions last night but didn't feel anything weird. I had an almost immediate reaction today after eating the Chinese food. I love garlic and onions, so I hope they're not a problem! I feel like it's probably the wheat, though. This isn't the first time I've had a reaction like this but it's certainly the fastest. I still feel kind of crummy. I ate a piece of cheese and some gluten-free crackers, which calmed down my stomach a little. I seriously thought I would diet and just lose weight. I had no idea this other issue would surface and it's annoying me.

Baskington... you may be right. I just checked out the ingredients in the Kung Pao chicken and one thing is green onions. The broccoli beef is self-explanatory; broccoli is in the fructan family. Holy cow. That would explain a LOT about how I feel after eating certain foods. I also have a minor issue with asparagus. This is going to require some research and elimination eating.

Also, do they cook with MSG.? Huge problem for many people. Lots of Asian restaurants have removed it from their cooking.

Lots of current info out there on the research being done on fructans

I wish I had an issue with food besides my weight. Like my daughter she can't have ANY fat. If she does she is in the bathroom the rest of the day and night.

An acquaintance of mine can't have fat. He's whittling away to nothing but he doesn't really enjoy eating. He has pancreatic issues, and I'm not sure what happens if he does eat too much fat. I guess it's unpleasant because he rigorously adheres to his diet. It sucks to have physical issues with food, but it is definitely keeping me from eating things I "shouldn't". Even a small taste today has entailed an afternoon of discomfort. I'm eating Nut Thins right now :)

BlueFront, I like teriyaki chicken too. It's made with a base of soy sauce, and that has wheat in it! I had to get gluten-free soy sauce when we had GF visitors a few weeks ago. I made a Korean bbq-style chicken and needed to make sure the components of the recipe were all GF. Wheat's a secretive little item and it's in EVERYTHING it seems like.

I hope it helps, I don't know why things start to build up quickly like this, once you get rid of the things you know bother you and everything settles down you may be able to carefully use some of these things lightly. That is if it is the fructans, lots of info on it and how to deal with it Kenna deserves the credit for posting about this yesterday. I wish she would post more interesting things like this. Wealth of knowledge there quietly given. I posted twice on her thread hopeing more people would notice it.

Congrats for resisting temptation!

I don't think Panda Express 🐼 uses MSG. I don't know this as a fact but a friend's husband is very sensitive to it and he eats there once a week with no complications, not like other Asian type restaurants he's tried. I would think hidden gluten would be a problem in many, if not all restaurants.
