Beer Can Chicken...duh

I have been gluten-free for about 3 months now, and had my first self-caused "slip". For dinner last night, I requested beer can chicken which is one of my favorite barbeque foods. Half-way through the meal it struck me...BEER! No beer actually contacts the chicken...the chicken is cooked on a can with about 1/2 cup of beer mixed with water in it to make the meat moist. I felt SO GUILTY! Is that normal for a first self-caused slip? I wasn't sick after, so maybe the chicken was OK since no beer ever actually touches the chicken? Did anyone else have intense guilt, and since I didn't get sick (and I usually notice even the smallest bit of cc) do you think this chicken is OK? Thanks!

I try not to be hard on myself when I slip up, with gluten or anything else in life. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes, not beat yourself up over them!

As for beer can chicken, I wouldn't. The beer must be flavoring the chicken or it wouldn't be in the recipe. That means there is a little barley gluten getting on the chicken.

I know this is an old thread but I found it on a search of "celiac beer can chicken" because guess what...I did it too. DH made beer can chicken last night. The weather is unseasonably warm here and we've been grilling like crazy. We love beer can chicken because it is so moist. I was half way through a chicken leg/thigh before it even dawned on me about the beer. I didn't have any noticeable reaction to it but I won't be repeating the mistake anyway. So I thought I post my "oops" in hopes of reminding others new to the gluten-free diet to not forget gluten during grilling season.

Oops! I'm really glad to hear you didn't get sick. You can empty a can of soda and pour in a gluten-free beer like Redbridge to make your chicken.

We make this all the time with gluten-free beer. Weber makes a special dish you can use instead of a can - it works great. Bought it at amazon.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
