Busch lite

[Pheasantfinder]

Hello- I was diagnosed in August of last year so I am still angry at my diagnosis.  Before I ate doughnuts, breaded chicken, pasta, and pizza (main diet)  since the day of my diagnosis I have been 100% committed to gluten free diet, I do not risk, and not even tempted because I used to feel so terrible all the time. Twords the end I went crazy, and developed extream anxiety also.  Mostly gone now after cutting gluten.

That being said I miss my busch lites everyday, is this a safe beer to drink? (I know the answer just hoping someone says it is) 

Last thing, does anyone go out to eat on here? Nothing has agreed with me even the gluten-free options.  I eat the same foods every day and rarely deviate so I can easily pin down what makes me sick.

Certainly, there should be some gluten-free beers you should be able to drink safely. There are some made from wheat/barley "gluten  removed" beers that meet the less than 20 ppm labeling set by the FDA for being able to use the term "gluten free" and then there are some beers made from non-gluten grains like sorghum that are safe for even the most sensitive celiac. The latter category of beers may taste a little different according to some beer connoisseurs. I used to drink Red Bridge (made from sorghum) occasionally and it tasted like beer to me but I'm not a connoisseur. 

Having said all that, I suspect you are a cross reactor celiac. That is, you are reacting to other foods besides those containing wheat/barley/rye but whose proteins are similar to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community. Common cross reactors in the celiac community are dairy, oats, corn, soy and milk.

Many mourn the loss of gluten when first diagnosed.
