Hi Folks,

 

I realize that lager contains Gluten, and I need to purchase Gluten free lager, but I was wondering if anyone would know if Paderborner Pilsener is Gluten Free, it states it is very pure...

Welcome to the forum!

 

In general, beer is going to contain gluten unless it is specifically formulated without the gluten containing grains that most beers are made of.  I looked up that brand of beer and saw a mention of hops, and no mention to the absence of gluten, so that is not going to be a gluten-free lager.  Purity with beer is something totally different than the potential absence of gluten/allergens.  When looking for a gluten-free beer, look for a brand that states it is naturally gluten free.  Some brands use gluten in production and then claim to remove it, but I would still stay away from those and go with something that was never made with it in the first place.

There is also the option of getting their customer comments number off their website or a bottle of their beer and calling them and asking. Or if you see a distributor at the gas station, grocery store, liquor store, etc you could ask them. In my experience they tend to have a good knowledge of what products they deliver are gluten free (and for legal reasons shouldn't be dumb enough to say it is if they aren't positive). I even had a distributor call a brewery directly for me when asking about a beer.

Regular beer usually has barley in it - malt, barley malt, malted, etc.  Hops are gluten-free but malt is not. Some beer also has wheat.  Being "very pure" has nothing to do with gluten free.  You would need to find a beer labelled gluten free.  Most hard ciders are gluten free - not exactly beer but might be easier to find.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
