I know this has probably been answered 1,000 times on this board, but I just got diagnosed last week. After coming to the realization that everything I eat is now off limits, I NEED a Beer. :o Unfortunatly, the several cases I have in the basement fridge for company is off limits. :angry:

Does anyone know of any gluten-free Beer options? :D

Romapo Valley, New Grist, and Bard's Tale all make gluten free beers. I find it easier to just enjoy a hard cider. Woodchuck is gluten free. It's much cheaper than gluten free beer and, though it may be an acquired taste, it satisfies the beer urge for me.

My favorite is New Grist, but will probably not get it in Arizona until around the 4th of July. I tasted it in Las Vegas. It is brewed in Milwaukee at the Lakefront Brewery. You can go to their website and see if it is in your area. I have tried Rampano and don't like it unless I throw a lime in it. The New Grist is the closest I have found to a real beer taste. It has 5.7% alcohol content.

You should grab a copy of the latest "Living Without" magazine, as it has a big article analyzing the best gluten free beers.

Thanks Guys!

I picked up some New Grist today at the local Whole Foods Market. I can't bring it onto the golf course tonight because it won't be cold enough but I'll have one when I get back. Looks like I'll be drinking rum off the beverage cart instead. :D

Hi Beer Lovers!

Did you know you can order beer made without gluten (gluten free beer) online?

The shipping is expensive, but then again so is driving to the brewery! ;)

Cheers!

Your a lucky devil Mike. Let me know what you think about the taste. I have never been a beer drinker, but am down to that as I can't find a B & J wine cooler in AZ without the malt. I would just like one when I sit on the patio on a hot day. I can no longer drink whiskey with diet coke because of the corn. And I have never been a Vodka drinker, so I have not looked to hard for the potato vodka. I just thought a gluten-free beer would probably taste great with the Arizona heat. So, don't forget to give us all your opinion.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
