Charcoal-for Bbqing

Last summer I had written to the Kingsford Charcoal Company after getting sick several times while grilling. I personally stay away from charcoal after reading this letter, they claim that the wheat in the charcoal would have burned up due to the high heat, however my stomach says different!! I grill with a gas grill now. I hope this saves someone a gluten accident.

Letter from 5-03

Thank you for taking the time to contact us about KINGSFORD Briquets. We

appreciate your interest in our products.

Both corn and wheat starches are used in this product, but we predominantly use

cornstarch. In any case, the briquets burn at such a high temperature that the

starch is burned, it does not transfer to the food.

We do not make any food products that do not contain gluten.

If I can be of further assistance to you, please contact me again.

Again, thank you for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Terry Dittus

Product Specialist

You don't have to give up charcoal completely. Find a hardware or kitchen store that sells natural charcoal. This is charred wood with no starch, fillers, or chemicals. It burns and tastes better.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      @Nacina, I would add a B Complex to all that and extra thiamine B 1 and magnesium glycinate, and high dose Vitamin D to get his level up faster.   We need the B vitamins to repair our body and for energy to function.  Thiamine B 1 is especially important for athletes.  Thiamine works with magnesium.  Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies can cause constipation.  All eight essential B vitamins work together.  Due to poor absorption in celiac disease, supplementing with B vitamins boosts our ability to absorb them.  Here's some reading material that is helpful... An open-label, randomized, 10 weeks prospective study on the efficacy of vitamin D (daily low dose and weekly high dose) in vitamin D deficient patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6618212/ Micronutrients Dietary Supplementation Advices for Celiac Patients on Long-Term Gluten-Free Diet with Good Compliance: A Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6681258/ The Effects of Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide on Physiological Adaption and Exercise Performance Improvement https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6073388/ The Effect of a High-Dose Vitamin B Multivitamin Supplement on the Relationship between Brain Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: A Randomized Control Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316433/ B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9662251/ Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition: A Narrative Review of the Biochemical and Clinical Evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019700/ A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10542023/ Effects of thiamine supplementation on exercise-induced fatigue https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8815395/ The effects of endurance training and thiamine supplementation on anti-fatigue during exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241913/ Hope this helps!

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.
