How Do You Clean The Grill To Avoid Cc?

Is the normal scrubbing and heat good enough to get rid of anything they shouldn't eat? We have a charcoal grill if that matters.

Yes, just burn the gluten off.

Be sure to use natural charcoal. The other stuff has wheat. :blink:

My favorite method is to put a really greasy chicken on the grill, then forget to check it and have the whole inside of the grill catch fire so you have to race into the backyard, pull your chicken out of the flames, blow it out, turn off the grill and wait for all the flames to die down so you can scrape the burned crust off of everything.

I'm pretty sure my grill is clean

:lol: I don't think anything could survive that! Even the dreaded protein :D

I love it that you put the penguin back up--that picture just tickles me :P

Just curious - why is the grill safe after heating it up, but pots, pans, etc are not? I assume because of scratches in the pots, pans? Well, the grate on my grill is pretty scratched. Opinions?

Good question about the scrapes on the grill. I honestly dont have an answer. My mother cleaned the grates, scrubbed them after burning the heck out of them. Then used Easy Off grill cleaner and I still got sick. This was on a gas grill. I have no idea how it happened. No rolls were used.. no sauces of any type.. from then on I just didnt cook my burger on the grill and never got sick again.

I cant explain it!!

Good question Tracy :D This is why I didn't take any chances with our gas grill. We took the grates off, cleaned them thoroughly (left on a heavy duty cleaner and scrubbed) then rinsed very well.

I think that burning the gluten off happens when it gets so hot that it almost catches fire (or in Jestgar's case, does catch fire). We just don't heat our pans up to those kind of temperatures.

Patti,

Thanks for your insight. That's kind of what I figured, but after a year of this, I am still questioning things that I never even thought of before.

Thanks,

Tracy

We have a friend that invites us over for barbecue. He cooks everything he makes for me on tin foil. Even though he has just cleaned the grill, he thinks there would still be a cross contamination issue. He can even cook me a fantastic steak on foil. So, I never have food from someone's grill but his. And of course ours. We downsized and our last home had a built in grill so it had to be left there - Yay. We got a new grill for here and gluten has never touched it.

:) I love the roasted chicken story :)

But, to be honest..... If you are beginning a new gluten free lifestyle, I would suggest investing in a new grill and use natural charcoal and you will always know that you have a safe grill.

To me, it would be a good investment to my future.

Just my thoughts.

I believe it's as Patti says, the fire burns the grate clean. I would be sure the fire actually burns the grate with flames. They even say you can use regular charcoal if you are sure it's all burnt as the wheat burns and the gluten is destroyed ... but I don't trust it!

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
