Bbq Question


Nashville

Recommended Posts

Nashville Contributor

I contacted a local BBQ place about the ingredients in some of their dishes and asked them how they prepare their bbq. I was glad to hear that the pulled turkey, which I used to get pre-diagnosis, is fine — they just throw it on the pit and let it go. Most of the side dishes appear to be okay, as well. He said the green beans and bbq beans have nothing more than natural spices, like onion powder, garlic powder, etc.

Is there anything I should be concerned about with these side dishes? Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

And for those in/around Nashville, the place I am talking about it Hog Heaven next to Vanderbilt.

Hi,

I went to a small local place near me and asked about their BBQ and sides. I talked to the person doing the cooking and after showing him my dining card we discussed what I might find to be ok. I live in Virginia and this place cooks "Memphis" style BBQ. Basically they slow cook the meat and then add sauce when serving. If you can determine what is in the sauce then you will probably know whether or not it is ok. I like the idea of adding sauce rather than have them put it on during cooking. As far as the sides go it all depends on the spices, etc. that may be added during preparation. Generally my rule of thumb is that if it already has the sauce on it and they cannot tell me whether or not it has gluten in it I do not eat it. Someone else who also has Celiac had already eaten the ribs this place makes and said it was ok so that is how I found out about that. Eating is a constant trial and error process but common sense rules the day in most cases. If you don't have the dining cards you should get them. Good luck.

Thanks Tom. I have the cards; I will bring them by tomorrow afternoon. My problem (and I'm not complaining) is that I don't have a reaction if I have gluten. So I could be eating something that has gluten and not know it.

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods...

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level.

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary...

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.
