"red Hot And Blue" Restaurant & Take-out

On Monday I am attending an office event that includes a catered reception. They are having it catered by Red Hot and Blue. There is not ingredient list on their web site (it says "secret ingredients" and "secret recipe". So I emailed them about gluten-free offerings and here's the reply I got the below answer - a mostly acceptable answer, in my opinion.

" Ms.George:

Thank you for your email.

Our smoked pork, chicken, and ribs are all gluten free. In addition, our

BBQ sauces are gluten free as well. The rub that we use on the beef

brisket does contain some gluten.

Please know that we have not laboratory tested any of our products for

the presence of gluten. The company that packs our sauces for us has

certified the sauces to be gluten free. Our meats are smoked daily, and

do not contain any additives, other than the brisket and the sausage.

As for the sides, you should be safe with plain (no shake) steamed

veggies, Collard Greens, and our green beans.

I hope that this helps and enjoy!

I'm so glad you posted this. I have a $25 gift certificate for this place but hadn't gotten around to emailing them yet. How was the food? Did you eat the chicken or ribs?

Thanks!

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
