Celiac.com 04/01/2015 - Coors Peak beer, a gluten-free copper lager, which hit store shelves in Seattle and Portland, is wasting no time in collecting accolades from gluten-free organizations.

MillerCoors recently announced that Coors Peak has become the first beer by the big three brewers to meet the certification standards set by the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
To ensure that Coors Peak is gluten-free, MillerCoors has employed exacting production standards, “including production in an entirely separate area to reduce the risk of cross-contamination,” said Channon Quinn, director of industry programs with the Gluten Intolerance Group.

According to David Kroll, MillerCoors vice president of insights and innovations, it took five years of research, testing and refinement to develop Coors Peak, which is is brewed from malted brown rice, hops and caramel sugar to create a distinctive character and brightness.

During that time, the Chicago-based company, which has a large brewing operation in Milwaukee, worked closely with the Gluten Intolerance Group to ensure high gluten-free standards.

Not all gluten-free beers are created equal - so is it any good? Has anyone tried it yet?

Bud has had a gluten free beer for several years. I have drunk Redbridge for the passed number of years and found it a full bodied beer that taste great.

I grew up in CO and toured the Coors facility in high school, so I'm naturally rather partial to their beer. I can't wait for it to come to MA! The more beer options, the merrier!

I LOVE Redbridge, isn't it certified gluten-free? I have never had a reaction to it.

I have tried it and so has my beer-drinking, recently diagnosed son. The result? We both REALLY like it. His friend (not gluten intolerant) did a blind taste test with Peak and regular Coors Light and he could not tell the difference. Finally a GOOD gluten-free beer!

I love Redbridge as well as Omission but cannot wait to try Coors. Want a variety of options as no one will carry more than one gluten-free beer and do not always want a cider. Bring it to RI FAST.

(Celiac.com 04/10/2000) A study by Danish researchers that was published in the September issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology concludes that treating women who have celiac disease before they become pregnant improves their birth outcomes.

Gluten-free Celebrity Update
Celiac.com 07/07/2011 - With diagnosis for celiac disease and gluten intolerance growing by leaps and bounds, it's no wonder that the list of celebrities who eat gluten-free continues to grow as well.
Like anyone else with celiac disease and gluten-intolerance, for celebrities and athletes who suffer from either condition, consuming gluten damages the lining of the small intestine and reduces absorption of important nutrients.
People with celiac disease are more likely to have autoimmune disorders, Addison’s disease, Down syndrome, intestinal cancer, intestinal lymphoma, lactose intolerance, thyroid disease, and type-1 diabetes. In the United States, approximately 1 out of 133 people are diagnosed with celiac disease.
A partial list of some noteworthy celebrities and athletes w...

  Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

  Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results. The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal...
