Hello fellow bbqers,
My wife and several members of her side of the family have a condition known as celiac disease. In short the body can not tolerate gluten, when exposed to it she gets really sick for a few days. Although it is not technically an allergy, in terms of food preparation and dose/response it is easiest to think of it as one. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and unpurified oats, so bbqing is a great way to make foods that don't require breads, pastas, etc. and we have visibility on all of the ingredients. We have done things like substituted the breads for corn tortillas on a lot of recipes (there are gluten free buns out there too but they can be heavy...plus a pulled pork or brisket sandwich in taco form is really good!) and found some good gluten free beers and hard ciders to enjoy with it (Recommend Woodchuck ciders from VT!). I am curious if others have done some gluten free cooking and have some innovative ideas I can steal and pass off as my own with my wife .
