Hi Lisa Ann,

We BBQ alot at our house.... My husband knows though that ONLY gluten free stuff can go onto the grill. Steaks, gluten-free hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. etc. Also, I put a tin foil container with mushrooms, green peppers and onions with gluten-free margarine, salt and pepper, covered with aluminum foil, on the grill also. My husband knows NOT to put any buns on the grill to heat up though.... B)

grills are fine as long as you're not putting stuff containing gluten (including marinades) on the grill.

Here is my thought process and please correct me if Im wrong...

I believe if you scrape with a brush the grill and let the fire burn the grill shouldn't that destroy all the gluten? I mean fire really destroys things. (obviously)

I can see that if you using a frying pan or a flat iron surface (ex a restaurant uses) then you need to worry about what was cooked on that surface.

Maybe others can give there opinion?? (considering this is the "cook out" time of the year.

I would think too that most grill racks are removable so that they can be thoroughly washed and "de glutened" if conotaminated.

We had a cookout yesterday and for the most part everyone was really good about not putting anything with gluten on the grill and hubby did mine first BUT someone did put a Boca Burger on the grill and I know those aren't gluten-free, so now I'm nervous for the next time we grill. Hubby is in charge of the grill, so it will be a trick convincing him he needs to clean the rack. :unsure:

We have a propane BBQ and use it a lot during the good weather. Only gluten-free foods go on the grill, so no worries. We do toast buns, but only gluten-free ones. I would not rely on heat alone to clear a contaminated grill, but would remove the grids and thoroughly wash them.

Natural gas would be the same. Pure charcoal is okay too, but most commercial charcoal is briquettes and they are bound together with WHEAT STARCH :angry:

We just bought a new gas grill and keep it completely free from all the foods I cannot eat - there is no way anyone will clean it every time - I refuse, the hubby won't do it, it is just safer...we do make sure we heat it up very hot at first and "scrub" the grill with the brush before we actually start cooking for the night.

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...
