I Just Cleaned My Grill With Power Tools

[GlutenWrangler]

Out of the last 13 days, I've been glutened 11 times. I've been eating contaminated steak. I usually cut a whole tenderloin into individual filets. It turns out my electric knife blades picked up drywall dust, which contains wheat, and transported it to every steak that I cut. So I had to clean my grill with a Dremel to clean of any remaining gluten. Needless to say I am feeling half dead. I was wondering if anyone knows how far this sets my healing back? I've been gluten-free for 5 months and I'm far from feeling better. I hope it doesn't set me back too far. Anyway thanks for listening.

There's no great way of knowing how far it will set you back, but another way to look at it is that it's all better from hear? Glad you figured out what the problem was!

Do you know regular charcoal actually has wheat in it? That's what was getting me when we were griling out. You can use natural charcoal ... I buy it at Wild Oats. Just be sure you burn off all the old residue from the old charcoal. Apparently once it's turned to ash the gluten is gone.

I use propane, but I have read about charcoal containing gluten. It seems like it is virtually impossible to escape gluten.

Seems that way, but it CAN be done!!

I know the purists say that charcol is better, but man... grilling-ready 365 days a year, with a 5-minute heat-up time can't be beat!

I've never tried charcoal so I have no idea what I'm missing. Propane is so easy, and it makes the food taste so much better than broiling.

My husband just doesn't like propane grills ... I have no idea why ... I don't think it has to do with the taste. He does the grilling, so it's charcoal!
