    Omission Wins Best Gluten-free Beer Honors at the 2012 Great International Beer & Cider Competition

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This just in on the gluten-free beer front: Omission Beer took the top two slots to win the honors for best gluten free beer at the 2012 Great International Beer & Cider Competition in Providence, R.I.

    Photo: CC--northwest_beer_guideA total of four hundred seventy (470) beers and ciders from breweries from around the globe competed for top honors.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     Judges in the blind tasting competition presented first, second and third place awards in 44 categories of ales, lagers and ciders.

    The judges included eighty-three professional brew meisters, beer industry professionals, and beer journalists, who were given only the style and subcategory of each beer and cider they judged.

    Omission Lager received the gold medal, and Omission Pale Ale earned silver in the gluten free beer category. Third place went to St. Peters Brewery in Bungay, Suffolk, UK, for their St. Peter’s Dark Sorghum beer.

    Omission beers use traditional ingredients, including malted barley, that are specially crafted to remove gluten. Omission tests gluten levels in every batch both at the brewery, and at an independent lab, using the R5 Competitive ELISA gluten test to ensure that the beer measures well below the Codex gluten-free standard of 20 ppm or less.

    The R5 Competitive ELISA is currently the best test for measuring gluten levels in fermented beverages. Omission posts test results for each batch of beer on their website: www.omissiontests.com.

    In the cider competition, Crispin Cider's Browns Lane took top honors in the English Cider category.

    Meantime, if all this talk of tasty gluten-free beer and cider is making you hungry, then check out our recent article Gluten-Free Beers and Ciders For the Holiday Season and Beyond.

    Gut 2001;49:169-175.
    Celiac.com 08/03/2001 - According to a study published in the August issue of Gut, treated celiac disease in either the mother or the father can still have a negative effect on their newborn babies. The study shows that infants run a five times greater risk of low birth weight and a three times greater risk of prematurity if the father has celiac disease. Interestingly, fathers with celiac disease were four times more likely to have babies with low birth weight than fathers who had other autoimmune diseases. In line with past studies, mothers with celiac disease were six times more likely to have babies with low birth weight. The study did not find low birth weight associated with people who had relatives with celiac disease but did not have it themselves. With...

    Ron Hoggan's Response to Montreal Gazette Article:
    Below is Ron Hoggan's reply the editor of the Montreal Gazette regarding the article: "Open Original Shared Link"
    Dear Health Editor:
    Mr. Dunning represents corn as a choice for bread-making prior to the advent of wheat, rye, and barley cultivation. However, the evidence suggests that corn was not yet available 10 to 15 thousand years ago when wheat, the earliest of these three grains, was first cultivated so it wasn’t available more than 20 thousand years ago when wild barley was first exploited ( 1 ). The evidence also indicates that corn was not available in the Near East, where wheat was first cultivated, as corn was a New World food developed by Mesoamerican indigenous peoples ( 2 ) half a world away.  In short, corn was not a discarded option for bread making when an...

    Expert Opinions Misguided and Misinterpreted
    Celiac.com 03/06/2012 - I was disappointed to read the opinion article by   Dr. Di Sabatino and Dr. Corazza  published in February 2012 by Annals of Internal Medicine (1).  The article itself is mostly  reasonable and thoughtful. However,  they implicitly assert gluten to be a healthy food by stating that they wish to prevent "a gluten preoccupation from evolving into the conviction that gluten is toxic for most of the population" (1).  In that single statement they are making dietary recommendations in the absence of evidence; the very situation they claim to want to rectify.
    Their published opinion has spawned a number of articles online and in the popular press which  seem to ignore all of the concessions to non-celiac gluten sensitivity in the source article. Some of these spin-of...

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...
