i have a question! it's bbq season again and this year i'm cooking gluten-free. so far i have been using foil on the bbq, but i hear that the bbq is hot enought that it burns all the stuff of the rack that it's safe to cook right on it. is that true??? we don't use the bbq for bread. but have put sauses on it in the past. any advice would be great.

thanks again,

Mia :)

what did you do with your kitchen pans that you cook with? Did you wash them with soap and water? Scrub them with a scouring pad and some detergent?

I don't see how the BBQ grill should be any different :D Take the BBQ brush to it, then clean it in the sink with some hot water and dish detergent. Should do the trick, same as your kitchen pans.

see for me the hard thing is i live with my in-laws. i don't live in a gluten free kitchen (i wish) soon enough i will. so i guess i will stick to the foil or clean the grill when they aren't looking. my father in law will think of it as a nice surprise. (i hope)

thanks for the advise! hoping the bbq was hot enough to just burn the stuff off!

For heat to denature gluten, a temperature of at least 600 (650?) degrees must be met and sustained for at least 30 minutes. Self-cleaning ovens do this, but I'm not sure that barbecues get that hot. And, even if they did, if there is mixed use, you would have to preheat and hold for half an hour each and every time the grill was used.

we have a gas grill. we *definitely* do NOT keep that thing at 600F for half an hour. it can get that hot, but you risk damaging the grill.

Easy Off makes a BBQ Grill Cleaner (similar to oven cleaner) that can be used on the cooking grate thingies. Not to be used on other interior/exterior parts of the grill. I picked up a can at my local Wal-Mart.

Personally I don't see why regular oven cleaner wouldn't work either to remove any cooking residue left on the grill.

I would get a new grill. The other respondent is right--the gluten is baked into the grill and won't come out except at 600 degrees for half an hour. Possibly you could stick it into your self cleaning oven and hope for the best?? But for 15 dollars it might be worth getting a new one. Maybe you could have two grills, one for you and one for the rest (who use things that have gluten in them)?? Unless of course all your ingredients used at the bbq from now on will be gluten-free -- which would not be a bad idea... Much less complicated that way so you don't risk CC.

Buying a new grill is a little extreme, especially if you have a nice (i.e. expensive) one already, but buying new grates that go on the grill is certainly not. Another option is to use a marble BBQ stone for your food or a ceder plank with a stainless cooking tray.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
