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!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious. Yes, the oats are gluten free, and while I knew some celiacs have a problem with oats, I only just thought to eliminate them.  I just read about corn on this website, which I do eat plenty of. I do eat dairy, and would be so terrible sad to give it up, but..... Thank you for the diary suggestions. I'll start one today. Thanks for responding!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @sillyac58! Are you still using this topical medication for this precancerous spot on your lip? If not, are you saying you used it for a limited time and believe it triggered additional ongoing immune system reactions with unpleasant symptoms? I'm not clear on this. Are the oats you use certified gluten free? You may know this already, but even if they are certified gluten free, the oat protein avenin is similar enough to gluten to cause reactions in some celiacs. The development of other food intolerances is also common in the celiac community. Common offenders in addition to oats are dairy, eggs corn and soy. Dairy and oats are the most common, however. You might do well to keep a food diary and check for patterns.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I was diagnosed about 10 yrs ago with Celiac by presenting with dermatitis herpetiformis rash. I had no stomach or intestinal discomfort, but of course showed intestinal damage. The dermatitis herpetiformis eventually went away and I've been religiously gluten free ever since. About 3 years ago I was given a topical drug by a dermatologist for pre cancerous spot on my lip. The drug is called Imiquimod/Aldara, and works by stimulating your immune system. ? The package insert and many releable online sources warn to use caution using this drug if one has an auto immune disease, I hace since found out. One of the side effects is flu like symtoms, which I had at the 10 day mark as warned. But these symptoms have been recurring regularly ever since. Low grade nausea (no vomiting), extreme fatique (sleeping in daytime) and often a migraine headache on day one or two. The bouts last around 5 days or more, usually the nausea being the persistent symptom. My dermatologist, and another I went to for second opinion say this isn't a problem. I have been ill about a third of my life ever since. I have had extensive bloodwork, been to numerous specialists, but cannot figure out what is making me sick. I have become neurotic about gluten at home, using separate cutting boards, pans, sponges, dish towels, etc. I rarely eat out, and usually only because I am traveling. I have begun taking my own food to peoples homes for dinners etc. The only thing I haven't done, until now, is to eliminated oats, which I eat fairly regularly, and are known to sometimes be a trigger. And I have to say, in my defense, that it took me a very long time to suspect gluten because my only original symtom was rash/dermatitis herpetiformis. So I didn't associate the nausea/headache/fatique with gluten for a long time. Nor did any one of the many doctors I saw suspect it. I finally had a couple of dermatitis herpetiformis spots (and severe migraine) when traveling and probably eating cross contaminated food. I've never been on one of these sights but I am desperate. I'm praying it's as simple as eliminating oats. But I am angry that I was given this drug that I truly believe set this off to begin with. Anyone?

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.
