New Info On Charcoal


Tori's Dad

I had done a search in these forums a while back and found info stating that charcoal contained wheat and we have been avoiding it. However, in anticipation of an upcoming camp out, I e-mailed Kingsford about their Match Lite product. They responded that the product is made from waste wood with corn starch as the binging agent and is gluten free. I guess this is a new formulation fro them?

Anyway, there are still tons of cross cantamination issues at a camp area, but I wanted to pass along the info for anyone that has a charcoal grill at home.

They must have because it very clearly made me sick last summer .... I'll stick with the natural stuff anyway, I didn't know before that the natural stuff even existed. I feel that the others are just loaded with unnecessary toxins.

Enjoy your campout. Protect yourself from ticks -- wear light clothing, tuck your pants in your shoes. You can't be too careful.

Yes, the last time I wrote to them(a couple years ago) they said they used wheat and corn in the briquettes. They also claimed that any wheat in them would burn up and not effect the food. However, my stomach troubles after eating told me differently. I went and bought a gas grill and haven't looked back since. I don't trust people who say dumb things like that. I am not sure I would even trust them saying it is a new formulation! ha But that's just me ;) Good luck with your camp out.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
