Corona, Pacifico, and other gluten free beers

So a friend of mine just gave me some great information on Corona and Pacifico. Apparently they are both naturally gluten free below 20 ppm. This is good news for me since I’ve been struggling to eliminate beer. Does anyone know any other beers that are “naturally” gluten free? 

There’s been some talk of Dos Equis being gluten-free. Can anyone confirm or deny this one?

They are not, Pacifico and Corona have gluten, you have been lied to. There are gluten free beers made from non gluten grains though.  I use cider alternatives in my house for guest and cooking.

Beer can not be tested accurately due to the nature of production and the elsia testing method.

If you check the sites for those you listed they contain malted barley and even state they contain gluten.
Few alternatives I trust and keep around

Proof that Pacifico is gluten free.

Not really proof.  The tests are not meant for beer or barley, so its not really legit.

I don't have time to look the explanation up for you right now.  The chocolate chip cookies just came out of the oven....

 

do what  you want,  you can find a way to justify drinking beer.  If you are lucky, it really is gluten-free.  We just don't know for sure.  It's like a guy peeing on a pregnancy test  and it says " negative" and assuming it means he doesn't have an std. He used the wrong test!

I would strongly refrain from getting accurate celiac-related information from a blogger.   This just came out this year and references medical studies.

Gluten-removed beer is not considered safe by leading celiac researchers.

"What are the main ingredients in Pacifico?

Pacifico contains Filtered Water, Yeast, Malted Barley, Corn, and Hops."

 

"

Does Pacifico contain gluten?

There isn't an accepted methodology for testing gluten content in fermented beverages, so we cannot provide an accurate amount of gluten in our beers. There are traces of gluten in all our beers. We recommend that you consult your physician regarding consumption

Cookies were great.  

Just a quick link and a thought - the ATF part of the government that governs beer will not allow beer brewed with gluten grains to call the  beer gluten free  because there is  no scientifically accepted way to measure gluten in beer.  You can look that up or contact them.

I wanted to add some thing to my last post. I get head aches from these beer's. I have not been tested yet. I also need to see if I'm allergic to alcohol, wheat and/or gluten.

Honestly I don't eat or drink food that is labeled under 20ppm. To me, that just means there's gluten in it, but not as much as other things, and I get that some people don't get a reaction from consuming under 20ppm foods, but it doesn't mean they don't put gluten inside their bodies. 

I stick to 100% gluten free, Regarding beer specifically I've read on some sites like this https://glutenfreeheroes.com about many types of beer and if or if not it has gluten, I also found many other sites doing the same which is cool to see as people like us need all the info they can gather I guess.

Welcome to the forum. I think your perpetuating a misconception here. A food labeled "gluten-free" and is therefore under 20ppm definitely does not mean that a food contains any gluten. They do not fortify the foods up to a certain level of gluten. In fact, if any food company with a gluten-free label discovers gluten at any level between 0-20ppm it would be cause for concern, and they would likely try to track down its source, so that they don't end up with a batch that goes over this level, which could trigger a very expensive food recall.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
