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.

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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
