gluten-free Beer Called Omission

Has anyone tried the gluten-free beer Omission? It is made like regular beer and the gluten is removed using a brewing enzyme called Brewers Extract. I've read all about it on their website and done some research. It doesn't sound like ALL the gluten is removed. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and how they felt after.

You could google that on here. We have had many discussions. The main thing to remember is that there does not seem to be a reliable way to test for barley in alcohol.

Thank you kareng for pointing out that article. I miss beer and do not really like any of the gluten-free beers that are currently available. I really wanted this process to work. I will look for other discussions to see if anyone has tried it and their reactions.

I would never drink it. 

 

There are many  gluten-free options now that do not involve the "removal" of gluten.

 

Bard's

NewPlanet--many styles

Glutenberg-many styles

Green's-many styles

Lake Front Brewery ( New Grist)

Ipswich Ale Brewery

Dogfish Head

Harvester-many styles

Epic Brewing

Sprecher 

Steadfast--many styles

Nickel Brook

Redbridge (which is probably the one that gave you the bad impression because it is awful ) ^_^

It made me sick as a dog! Don't even risk it. It's not worth it. It wasn't that good even. There are lots of really great gluten free ciders you should try instead.

Of all the beers IrishHeart listed, only Redbridge is available where I live. We do not all have the same choices. Amy VC, I think it would depend on how sensitive you are. I am not a super sensitive. I have had Omission and no reaction. However, I did limit myself to two beers. Before diagnosis, I was a beer snob.... drank mostly imports and small batch boutique beer. Redbridge is swill, but when it is all you can have, it's not nearly as bad. Also, I think it depends on how long you have been gluten free. After seven years, I may not remember tastes as they actually are. I know what I used to drink was better, but Redbridge is approaching OK now. 

 

People, please do not recommend cider  as a replacement for beer. That is akin to recommending bread crumbs as a replacement for chocolate. They are not even close.

LOL   :lol: That is exactly how I felt about it too.  Cider is just not beer!

 

We have Green's up here, and it isn't bad, but it tastes like a home brew... there's only so much of that I can drink.

My local liquor store wont keep omission with their gluten-free alcohol selection because it is gluten removed. I was advised against purchasing it with celiac so I trusted my shop. I would avoid it.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
