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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
