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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
