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!

      Positive biopsy

      I agree with @trents that the IgA you listed sounds like a total IgA, not celiac-specific, if 114 is normal. Were any other antibody tests run?

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Positive biopsy

      What you describe is seronegative villous atrophy (negative antibody tests but positive biopsy). It is uncommon in coeliac disease, and there are other causes, but the most common cause is coeliac disease. I would pursue this with your healthcare provider if possible.

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis.

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!
