Their website says gluten-free to 5ppm. Would you try it?

There is more than one report that proves that the tests most commonly used for gluten do not accurately detect barley gluten. This has been a hot topic with the "gluten free" beer thing, since they are using only that test and not a test that would accurately detect the barley gluten. This is the same case here. Keep in mind, that Mike's is made with barley which is on our list of things not to eat. Keep in mind that Mike's uses the ELISA test, which there is nothing wrong in general except that they are testing for barley. 

 

Here is another take on the subject (it is a little but not very old):

Here is a link that explains why the ELISA test is inaccurate for barley:

The short answer? Not on my life.

Everything I read on it was pretty old. I thought it would be a decent debate but you pretty much covered everything. :)

Pre dx, Mike's made me sick. I figured it was the malt and stayed away from it. I am not going to try it now, post dx.

My daughter has kidney disease (FSGS) as a result of autuimmune issues related to gluten. We measure her protein leakage on urine test strips in the morning, so if she has anything with gluten, she will spike on the stick. Forunately, she has not shown any spikes in a long time, but the last thing we had a problem figuring out what was causing her to spike was Mikes Hard Lemonade.

 

This was about one year ago, so I don't remember what particular flavor it was, or if they have reformulated since then, but she won't touch it.

I let my husband drink the rest of mine when I went gluten-free. A malt beverage doesn't really seem like it can be gluten-free.

Nope, not with barley malt in the ingredient list.

In general, that is true. But barley is not the only thing that can be malted--just far and away the most common. There are gluten-free beers made from malted sorghum, for example.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
