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!

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
