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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
