How Do You Clean The Grill To Avoid Cc?

Is the normal scrubbing and heat good enough to get rid of anything they shouldn't eat? We have a charcoal grill if that matters.

Yes, just burn the gluten off.

Be sure to use natural charcoal. The other stuff has wheat. :blink:

My favorite method is to put a really greasy chicken on the grill, then forget to check it and have the whole inside of the grill catch fire so you have to race into the backyard, pull your chicken out of the flames, blow it out, turn off the grill and wait for all the flames to die down so you can scrape the burned crust off of everything.

I'm pretty sure my grill is clean

:lol: I don't think anything could survive that! Even the dreaded protein :D

I love it that you put the penguin back up--that picture just tickles me :P

Just curious - why is the grill safe after heating it up, but pots, pans, etc are not? I assume because of scratches in the pots, pans? Well, the grate on my grill is pretty scratched. Opinions?

Good question about the scrapes on the grill. I honestly dont have an answer. My mother cleaned the grates, scrubbed them after burning the heck out of them. Then used Easy Off grill cleaner and I still got sick. This was on a gas grill. I have no idea how it happened. No rolls were used.. no sauces of any type.. from then on I just didnt cook my burger on the grill and never got sick again.

I cant explain it!!

Good question Tracy :D This is why I didn't take any chances with our gas grill. We took the grates off, cleaned them thoroughly (left on a heavy duty cleaner and scrubbed) then rinsed very well.

I think that burning the gluten off happens when it gets so hot that it almost catches fire (or in Jestgar's case, does catch fire). We just don't heat our pans up to those kind of temperatures.

Patti,

Thanks for your insight. That's kind of what I figured, but after a year of this, I am still questioning things that I never even thought of before.

Thanks,

Tracy

We have a friend that invites us over for barbecue. He cooks everything he makes for me on tin foil. Even though he has just cleaned the grill, he thinks there would still be a cross contamination issue. He can even cook me a fantastic steak on foil. So, I never have food from someone's grill but his. And of course ours. We downsized and our last home had a built in grill so it had to be left there - Yay. We got a new grill for here and gluten has never touched it.

:) I love the roasted chicken story :)

But, to be honest..... If you are beginning a new gluten free lifestyle, I would suggest investing in a new grill and use natural charcoal and you will always know that you have a safe grill.

To me, it would be a good investment to my future.

Just my thoughts.

I believe it's as Patti says, the fire burns the grate clean. I would be sure the fire actually burns the grate with flames. They even say you can use regular charcoal if you are sure it's all burnt as the wheat burns and the gluten is destroyed ... but I don't trust it!

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
