Does anyone know if Kingsford charcoal is gluten free? I am going to a B.B.Q. tonight at my brother-in-laws house and don't want to get sick.

Thanks for posting this! I actually wondered this the other day.. we were looking at grills and couldnt decide if we wanted to go ahead and get the propane kind because i didnt know if any charcoal is safe to use.

thanks for the tip!

Charcoal is gluten free. It is made from a variety of wood. Sometimes they add stuff like lighter fluid so it starts easier, but it is pre burned wood.

If by charcoal, you mean plain charcoal, it is gluten-free.

But charcoal briquettes (the ones in the uniform rounded shapes) are formed with a binder to hold the ground charcoal together. That binder can contain wheat. We have a gas grill. so I haven't paid any interest in which brands are safe.

I emailed Kingsford and they said they use corn starch as a binder.

Thanks for all your input.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?
