Cc And Bbqs


Canadian Girl

Recommended Posts

Canadian Girl Apprentice

I've been reading how CC is an issue when bbq'ing. When i've been bbq'ing this summer, i've been making sure to scrape the grill off really well before putting my meat on the bbq, than make sure nothing else is touching my meat and make sure no bread is around it. I also use my own flipper for my meat. Is that still not good enough? How can I be sure the bbq is clean w/out wrapping my meat up?? I always get bloated w/in minutes of being glutened, but haven't had any problems with bbq's yet so I'm confused! thx in advance!!!

If you're not being glutened, you're probably doing something right! biggrin.gif

Some people do use oven cleaner on the grates of the grill to get them clean (not to be used on the other parts of the grill though)

If it's your own grill and you have not grilled bread or gluten-containing marinades in the past then you are okay. If you have cleaned it really well and do not get sick, then I wouldn't worry. I would worry more about grills other people own or grills in public parks.

While gluten isn't like a normal bacteria in that at one simple temperature you can assure all or enough of the cells are dead to not cause you a problem, it still is an organic compound and will burn. Pretty much all foods will breakdown to ash at a certain temperature as carbon burns and all you're left with are the minerals. During the course of cleaning the grill you (should) heat the grill up quite hot before scrubbing. Unless you were just cooking a loaf of bread on the grill the day before you shouldn't have to worry terribly about getting glutened. If you want to be sure though, make sure to run the fire quite hot and bathe the grill in flames. The fire itself will cause the organic material to be consumed much quicker than just through a radiative heat.

Good point about the distinction. The time I got sick from our charcoal grill, husband had been toasting whole-wheat buns on it the night before and hadn't cleaned it well before putting the next night's dinner on it. I don't think our gas grill grates have been washed/degreased since I went gluten-free, but that's been fired and scraped so many times since the last time it got glutened. I've never been sick from that grill.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
