One thing that's good is beer. One thing that's bad is celiac disease. Unfortunately for people with the latter and others sensitive to gluten, they ...

A good article. Set out the issue nicely.

I hope European health officials are taking note. This is one area where I believe the US is taking the right approach and Europe is not.

The 20ppm limit is the only requirement over here for labelling something gluten free and companies are using the ELISA method to validate their claim.

the gluten free shelves at my local supermarket are now full of beers which list barley malt in their ingredients and are labelled gluten free. They look delicious, but I would be reluctant to have one until there was a credible test.  I reacted to daura damm, one of the last times I drank after going gluten-free.

Yes, I would be wary of that as well. Are those the "gluten removed" beers?

What? 100% malted barley doesn't have gluten in your country?

No that's my point! You're allowed to call it gluten free over here if it tests below 20ppm. This despite the concerns over the accuracy of the Elisa test. The beers with barley have been treated with enzymes etc but there's a big question mark over if they remove all the gluten.

I look at those beers on the shelf and they look delicious, the range has improved every year until now there's many of the kinds I used to love. It's very tempting, even for me who hasn't drank in a couple of years or more. 

It's also going to deter sorghum brewers which isn't a good thing for those that want a guaranteed gluten-free beer.

Luckily I was never a big beer lover, except for a short stint in college. Looking at all those beers would be hard to resist.

Oh I loved beer :)

Real ale's mainly but also the occasional Guinness or Murphy's stout. I guess you may call it cask ale or cask conditioned. Back when I was over there I used to love going to the microbreweries and sampling the US beer, has a different taste but there were some great ones.  

I mostly gave up lager due to bloating (little did I know)... 

Anyway I got quite excited after I drank the Daura Damm, it was a very drinkable beer with a bit of taste. So I was gutted when I found I was reacting to it subsequently. After that I stopped drinking, but when I see new beers in the Gluten free section I still check the labels for old times sake.

Thanks for this article, wish I would have read it last night before taking a sip of the Daura Damm beer. I saw "gluten removed" so I assumed and assumed wrong, immediately after taking a sip I luckily saw the disclaimer before drinking it again and then looked at the ingredients they read "barley malt".... I have to remember to double check before just taking something I think is gluten-free.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
