After 7 months without a beer, I thought it was time to try a gluten-free one being as they were on offer :)

Estrella Damm Daura..... mmm not bad at all I must say. But I'm pretty sure, I used to be able to have more than one bottle before feeling tipsy ...hic :)

Its a shame though, that its the only brand gluten-free available, so suppose I will have to suss out other supermarkets.

Let us know how you do with this beer, VeggieGal, because barley malt is used in the ingredients list but they have a process, which is proprietary, that strips the gluten protein from the barley malt down to less than 6ppm's.  I am always interested to see how people tolerate this type of product!  I hope all is well because you certainly deserve a beer as a treat!  ;)

Oh yes..I can see barley malt hidden in the ingredients grrrrrrrr :( although it is sold gluten free. I've had two bottles and must admit my tummy is gurgling and I'm abit windy.... you're lucky you arent here lol.

Strange thing is I never had many gut problems pre-dx but when I get glutened now, I know about it....maybe thats a good thing to serve as a warning.

I'll let you know if there's any other issues !!!

I recently tried Woodchuck hard cider - I have to say - delicious. I was really pleased with it and had zero reaction to it.

 

Sorry your stomach started gurgling :(

I was also thrilled to learn that all wines made in the states are gluten free. That made me VERY happy :rolleyes:

 

Give the cider a shot. There are a few different flavors. I tried the amber one so far and I really like it.

Good luck!

Thanks for that link. I'm in the UK but will have a look for Woodchuck. Would be nice to have something different for the summer months.

I've just remembered, I had a couple of Pimms at the weekend and it never ever crossed my mind to check if gluten-free!....well I didnt have any reactions luckily :)

I love Magners cider. My fave, aside from the French unpasteurized versions that are almost lambic-like -Etienne DuPont Cidre Bouche Brut de Normandie.

O'Brien's beer is gluten free as well, it's a heavy beer.  I've had a bottle of red this evening, time for bed now ;)

:lol: :lol:   You have a good sense of humor, VeggieGal!

 

Once gluten-free, you will notice that you start to feel reactions more because you have cleaned out your system, so to speak, and can now feel what gluten does to your gut.  My reactions are horrible and I go to great lengths for that not to happen.  :(   But this is a good sign.....you are healing and can now know when you have taken a hit.

 

Thought I would add this link for you:  Open Original Shared Link

My husband drinks Green's beer from Belgium and he absolutely loves it. Maybe this link can help you find more choices.  Cheers!

Thanks Gemini, I think we need to have to cope with some of our issues :)

Yes that makes alot of sense about healing. Well I've had no further issues but even so, the fact I had some last night no doubt means its doing some damage I don't know its confusing as they are presumed safe!?!

Oooh I will have a look for Greens and thanks for the link.... all I need now is to find a gluten-free beer festival lol...well I can wish!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
