This is my first post so forgive me if it is not correct.  I was recently diagnosed with Celiac's disease and I tried several gluten free beers.  I found out that I cannot tolerate sorghum.  I woke up twice screaming in pain after drinking these beers.  It felt like someone was stabbing me.  I am trying to find beers brewed with other grains, such as rice, millet or buckwheat that are OK for Celiac patients. 

The other problem is actually getting any beers that would be promising.  I live in Wisconsin so there are some west coast brews that are not available here.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks...…...

There are some pretty good Certified gluten free beers out there.  My fav is Ground Breaker brewed in Oregon.  My local liquor store (CA) carries it.

But.....you are just newly diagnosed.  Anything you eat can wreak havoc on your sore gut (intestines, liver, etc.). Can you wait a few more weeks before drinking?  If not, try some wine until you can find a good local gluten-free beer that has never been in contact with rye, barley or wheat.

Being sensitive to sorghum rules out Redbridge.

I have tried and enjoy Omission beers.  I'm a cheap light beer in a can kind of guy, and my go to is Omission Ultimate Light Golden Ale I think it's called.  Omission does use regular beer ingredients and then does something to remove gluten during the brewing process.  Please read about them at their site: https://www.drinkomission.com/

While in Europe last year, I also enjoyed Peroni's gluten-free beer as well as Estrella Galacia's gluten-free beer.  Not sure if either are available in the US, however.

Back to Omission -- I think the jury is still out on whether or not Omission beer is safe for celiac patients to drink.  My experience is only anecdotal, to be sure.  I'm one of the people who have celiac disease but suffer no discomfort nor other noticeable symptoms if I ingest gluten.  I rely on blood work to determine how well I am adhering to a gluten-free diet -- and my blood work got better and better in the years following my diagnosis to the point where my antibody tests now come back negative, or very, very low.  While not definitive, my experience with Omission *seems* to be that it is safe for me.

Best to you as you navigate this new journey.  Learn everything you can, and keep notes if you need, you know "this good, that bad" kind of stuff.

Omission beer makes me sick.  But people have varying levels of sensitivity to gluten.  So it may be ok for you.

White Claw makes some flavored seltzer waters with alcohol that are gluten free.  Not like a beer but in a can at least.

I have no problems with Ghostfish gluten-free beer. I don't know if it contains sorghum, you can contact them and ask. Even my gluten eater friends were pleasantly surprised. They are certified gluten-free, dedicated gluten-free facility. They are always announcing distribution to more states. You can also mail order now. If you come to the Seattle area, they have the best gluten-free fish n chips.

Just checked the fridge and found a can of Ghostfish Kick Step, one of my favs. No sorghum, it uses beet sugar.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
