Celiac.com 04/16/2022 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers.

Specifically, is Tecate gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is NO, Tecate is not gluten-free, and is not recommended for people with celiac disease.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
The longer answer is that Tecate contains the following ingredients: water, barley malt, rice, yeast and hops.

Because Tecate contains barley malt, it is not gluten-free, and so not recommended for people with celiac disease.

In fact, Tecate appears on our List of Non-Gluten-Free Mexican Beers.

Here's a more expansive List of Non-Gluten-Free Beers

If you're looking for a gluten-free beer, then try one of the many gluten-free or gluten-removed beers on the market.

Oktoberfest Beer Guide! Gluten-free vs. Gluten-removed Beers
Celiac.com 10/14/2016 - It's almost October, and that means beer, or, at least it means Oktoberfest is near. And in so many ways, gluten-free beer lovers have never had it better, with dozens of selections now available commercially, and more on the way every month, it seems.
So grab a beer, and celebrate Oktoberfest. But before we get to the list of beer purveyors, let's quickly review some basics of gluten-free versus gluten removed.
Naturally Gluten-free Beers—Naturally gluten-free beers are made with all gluten-free source ingredients, and use grains like sorghum instead of barley. This is important to many people, especially those with high sensitivity, or the belief that gluten-removed beers may trigger celiac-related problems.
Pros: Guaranteed gluten-free from start t...

List of Gluten-Free and Non-Gluten-Free Mexican Beers
Celiac.com 05/26/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Mexican beers. Specifically, which Mexican beers are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Currently, the list of gluten-free Mexican beers is empty, as there are currently no major brands of Mexican beers that are brewed to be gluten-free or gluten-removed. All traditionally brewed Mexican beers contain gluten ingredients, and are not gluten-free.

A List of Non-Gluten-Free Beers
Celiac.com 09/01/2021 - Wondering what beers are NOT gluten-free and unsafe for people with celiac disease?
We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers. Specifically, what beers are NOT gluten-free and unsafe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is that nearly every commercially available beer on the market is made with barley, which contains gluten, so unless special enzymes and filtering are used during the brewing process to render them gluten-free, would not be gluten-free.
We've written about gluten-free and gluten-removed beers. We've also written about individual non-gluten-free beers, such as Budweiser, but here's an attempt too list as many non-gluten-fre...

  I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

  Since you're having a last hurrah with gluten, request another round of blood tests for celiac antibodies. Make sure you're eating ten grams or more daily for those few weeks before your capsule endoscopy. You probably weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten needed to provoke sufficient antibody production.

  Christmas Cake
  
  Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan and icing. As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time in advance to improve the flavour. I never remember. But it never seems to matter...

  My 5 months of Struggle
  
  Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that...
