Cider - Does It Effect You?

Hi,

New member of the forum and a ceoliac for about two years now.

Before I found out I was intolerant to Gluten I was a big lager drinker, so after being diagnosed there was only one way I was going, to drink Pints of Cider. But my problem is I find that drinking it causes memory loss, and hangovers from hell. Does any one else get this?? Or should I just accept the fact that maybe Cider is not for me??

Any comments would be greatly welcomed.

Which brand are you drinking? Not all ciders are gluten-free.

Most major brands of cider are gluten-free, including Strongbow, Magner's, Blackthorn, and Woodpecker, but you may be consuming more alcohol than you intend. ;) Cider can be a bit stronger than lager. If it's a locally brewed cider, be sure they haven't added any malt.

This is going to sound crazy coming from Kentucky, but what exactly is cider that you buy at a store?

You may know it as Applejack or Hard Cider. It is apple cider that has been fermented to make it alcoholic.

Well that just strikes me funny. I didn't know that sold that stuff on purpose! I've seen jugs of apple cider and heard people say, "that done turned hard", but I didn't know they sold it in the store! To us, it's garbage!

Im going to see if I can find it in town, is it good?

Funny, today I added apple juice to my food list and did fine on it.

I miss good, fresh-squeezed apple cider from living back east. You can't hardly find it here in California.

I was drinking hard cider before I was gluten-free. Love the stuff! I usually have to go to a liquor store to find the brands I like best, Blackthorn or Magner's. It's not sweet like applejuice, a little fizzy, and it has a nice kick to it. ;) English and Irish pubs often have it on tap too.

Hi,

Just Strongbow, I find Magners too sweet for me and Bullmers is the same. As no one else seem to have a problem I think I need to find an alternative when down the pu, thanks all :)

Strongbow is definitely gluten-free. Could you maybe have a problem with the yeast or the fructose?

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
