Crabs Steamed With Beer

First time poster, hope I'm in the right place....

Here in the Chesapeake Bay region it's crab season, and lots of local restaurants are steaming up blue crabs for our eating pleasure. Many places will add BEER to the liquid in the bottom of the pot where the crabs are cooked. Does this cause a gluten contamination problem?

I think that beer is commonly added to steam pots for lots of seafood (lobster, shellfish, etc.), so maybe this is a larger issue. Same goes for the popular "beer can chicken" on the grill.

I would think that it would cause a problem... stinks though. I'm from Florida originally and I totally remember Crab and Lobster season! (I don't eat shellfish anymore just from a personal objection to eating bottom feeders but I remember how good they were)... You may have to request that yours be steamed in water only.

I bought the Weber thingee (go to their website) for what we call here in Arizona "beer butt chicken". I use a gluten-free beer in the funnel part.

I love to eat bottom-feeders, although putting it that way makes it sound pretty disgusting!! Lamentably, I have developed a shellfish allergy. Get all swelled up!

No beer for boiling, gluten does not boil out or we'd be able to eat pasta!

DON'T eat them. I ate some last week and started coughing and could not breathe. Just started going glutten free. They put 1 beer in - they forgot I couldn't have beer. I only ate 1 before the attack. LindaLee

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
