New Grist Cc Issues

I can say with certainty that this brewery has some cc issues with barley. No problems with red bridge though. Headache after 4 beers a few days ago. Drank one a few days later instant headache. I drink alcohol and used to drink all beer on a regular basis and I know this beer or at least my 6 pack is cc.

Hmmm I'd say that lines up pretty well with my experiences with those gluten-free beers! Thanks for sharing!

This is my go to beer. I don't have a lot of choice here. I find it is the best available. I have been drinking it for a year now and I have never had a problem with it.

Have you contacted the company with your possible cc concern ?

I thought that I was getting glutened from this beer (it used to be my favorite gluten free beer) but I was actually reacting to the sulfites in it. I had never had a problem with sulfites until about 2 1/2 years into being gluten free. If you find yourself reacting to other gluten-free beers, wines, and/or ciders, you am want to look into this further.....

Their website claims " It is the first beer to be certified gluten-free by the US Government. Each batch we brew is tested for its gluten contents before it is bottled and shipped." Sounds like the same disclaimer as on any certified gluten free product.

Not sure how anyone can say with certainty that a particular 6 pack is cross contaminated.

I have tasted it. It's not the best beer I ever had, but I did not have any reaction to it whatsoever.

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
