Bbq Brickets Can Have Gluten?

I heard someone mentioning that the BBQ Briquettes can have gluten in them and that I need to get "organic" ones instead.

I am not sure if it is true and couldn't find any info on it so far. Anyone know if it is true?

(sorry I spelled Briquettes wrong, english is my second language :P )

Many of the Charcoal briquets have wheat in them. There is a great deal of controversy of whether the gluten will ever reach the food but why take the chance if you don't have to.

Kingsford has Wheat in their products. Albertson's Brand does not. We also sometimes use the hardwood charcoal brands (various types).

Check your local restaurant supply food distributor, they often have the hardwood briquets.

what do you think the purpose of wheat is in briquettes?

I would suggest that if you can not use a gas grill then use the wood ones. We use them when camping and they seem to work quite well.

We buy natural charcoal after I got glutened from Kingsford. I know the theory is that the wheat burns, but I definately got glutened and had eaten at home and prepared my own food all week. The natural charcoal is better for you anyway, there are a lot of chemicals in regular charcoal ... in fact, if I had known before that it even existed, I would have been using it anyway!! It burns much quicker though, so be ready when you start the grill.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Ccoast Celiac · Posted

      Hi @Mettedkny I’ve had the same problem with Xiromed Progesterone 100 Caps. I’m very careful about gluten and only have had gluten “gut issues” since starting these. I previously had another brand, and no problems. So, even if Xiromed says “gluten free” perhaps in the manufacturing process there is gluten cross-contamination. I’m already requesting a different manufacturer to see if there is improvement.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?
