Does anyone know if Kingsford charcoal is gluten free? I am going to a B.B.Q. tonight at my brother-in-laws house and don't want to get sick.

Thanks for posting this! I actually wondered this the other day.. we were looking at grills and couldnt decide if we wanted to go ahead and get the propane kind because i didnt know if any charcoal is safe to use.

thanks for the tip!

Charcoal is gluten free. It is made from a variety of wood. Sometimes they add stuff like lighter fluid so it starts easier, but it is pre burned wood.

If by charcoal, you mean plain charcoal, it is gluten-free.

But charcoal briquettes (the ones in the uniform rounded shapes) are formed with a binder to hold the ground charcoal together. That binder can contain wheat. We have a gas grill. so I haven't paid any interest in which brands are safe.

I emailed Kingsford and they said they use corn starch as a binder.

Thanks for all your input.

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
