gluten-free Beer- Puzzled

Many of u probably heard of the new Daura gluten free beer. anyway, i tried it last night and had a euphoric experience cause i forgot how much i loved beer. however, when i got back to my hotel room an hr later i felt pins and needles in my arms and legs and also felt like my circulation was being cut off. i slept for 3 hrs and woke up at 3 and couldnt fall back asleep cause i had a headache and felt lousy. this beer is supposed to contain less than 6 ppm of gluten so how could i have possibly reacted to this? i eat out all the time and while im careful im sure i get hit with trace amts of gluten here and there...its unavoidable but i never felt as poorly as i did last night.

on my allergy test i tested high positive for barley so is there a chance i was reacting to the barley and not necessarily the gluten? whats the deal...this beer is being marketed to people with celiac and many restaurants are carrying it now. the site even said it was tested on people with the most severe for of celiac and they were fine.

please enlighten me

You're allergic to barley and you drank beer made of barley.... :blink:

You're still allergic to barley.

This has been another simple answer to simple questions.

I personally, do not try to consume things that I know I am allergic to or have an auto immune reaction to, despite the assurances of the manufacturer that is will "be okay." But that's just little ole cynical me, who doesn't intend to die from one of those bad reactions.

Congrats you've probably saved a few more people from getting sick.

You did good. B)

All this internet chatter about the new gluten-free Daura beer and here we find out that the stuff is made of barley.

Read the link. One person said it tasted like Stoh's. :lol: :lol: :lol: Must be the "imported from Spain" that's the marketing hook.

Thanks for letting us know you did react to it. You may have saved some of us who would have been tempted to try from the pain.

Well... I'm not sure how something made from barley could be on anyone's "gluten free" list. Barley contains gluten!

If you want a truly gluten free beer try one of the sorghum ones. Redbridge is the only one I've tried so far and I liked it, especially when it was nice and cold. I know there are a couple of others also, but I haven't found them yet to try.

Is this the one that is made from barley and claims to have the gluten removed? Sounds fishy to me?

Although, I do drink distilled vodka.

Thank you Jason for the warning about Daura. And thanks Monkeylady for the recommendation. :)

Fruit ciders are another good substitute for beer. I know that Magner's Hard Cider is made from apples and is really good. Pear ciders are very nice, as well. Not all brands are gluten-free, so make sure to research beforehand... however, it seems more are than not.

That's nice to know about the "gluten-free" beer. I shall make sure to avoid it.

Hard cider (like Magner's), hard liquor, and truly gluten free beer (like RedBridge) is all I need! I can't believe something made with barley is still being toted as gluten free. Talk about a lawsuit waiting to happen!

Just wanted to put a plug in for New Grist and Greene's Dark. Both are very tasty. Bards is good too, in fact I have yet to find a gluten-free beer I don't like... something about how they don't upset my stomach like gluten beer... :lol: but I think I'll stay clear of the unfortunately named Daura. ;)

Man this is a tough crowd. One person thinks they reacted to a gluten-free product and everyone's ready to dump on it. There's someone out there that thinks they react to gluten-free Corn Chex too. That doesn't stop me from eating it.

I can't wait to try this beer made from Barley. Maybe it actually tastes like real beer, the sourghum beer is awful. If they say they remove the gluten, I'll just have to see for myself.

best regards, lm

Different folks have different tolerance levels. As always the choice is an individual one. You may tolerate it just fine. Myself I simply prefer not to risk items that are 'processed to be gluten free'. When you do find it I hope it works for you. I agree the sorghum beers are not great that's why I go with ciders or rum and pepsi usually.

Well for me -- when I look at the ingredients of Corn Chex and see "corn" then I feel much more confident that if I look at beer and it's made from "barley." Since barley contains gluten and corn does not. So I'm not going to feel confident in barley beer. Simple as that.

You do what you feel is best for you. I opt for sorghum beer or cider or wine or a gin and tonic or one of many other options that are available should I want some alcohol, options that are not naturally gluten-containing.

Well, they deglutenize it down to 6 ppm (way lower than the EU standards for gluten free) but I imagine other fragments of barley other than the gluten might affect someone allergic to barley.

I tried it last week and was so excited. No problem whatsoever (and I get a little bloated from sorghum beer- I think I have a bit of a sorghum intolerance because it happens from every brand). If I accidentally have wheat I'm in excruciating pain in the fetal position and 6 parts per million didn't affect me that way at all, FWIW. YMMV and all that. :D

I had a couple a day for a couple days in a row. It tasted SO good. I hate to report that I had a very bad reaction to it . Makes me so sad.

Did you see for yourself? I tried that. I got wretchedly sick. Definitely glutened by Daura Beer. It's extremely obvious when I am glutened... did you react?

Me, too. I will never, ever touch Daura Beer again. Definitely glutened.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
