Anyone know if this apple cider "beerlike" drink is gluten-free offhand? Or Blue Bell?

Hornsby says it does not consider its hard ciders gluten-free. Woodchuck and K are, and so are some others.

If you mean Blue Bell ice cream I think most are gluten-free except the obvious ones, but I would contact them to make sure before eating.

So hornsby is a no? Man I looked at that label over and over. I love hornsby and I swear I thought I did good on that purchase. Well I will email both Hornsby and Blue Bell. I was being lazy. And yes I was talking about the ice cream. I know about Ben and Jerry's but hubby doesnt feel like they compare. Thank you Richard!

Well, I could never find an email address for Blue Bell, but I saw a gluten-free menu from a restaurant here in Tulsa, and Blue Bell ice cream was listed as a gluten-free dessert. I still eat it with no problems.

horsby isn't gluten-free cos they use wheat in their caramel coloring

but woodchuck, strongbow, magners, bulmers, woodpecker, K, cider jack are all gluten-free

Sorry guys...just called E & J Gallo Winery who makes Hornsby's Hard Cider and she confirmed that there is NOT very much gluten by any means so someone who isn't really sensitive may be able to get away with it every once in a while but there is too much gluten to consider it gluten free...so its a no no for us Celiacs. If you are someone who wants to risk it and you are a Celiac but not very sensitive just remember, you may not always get sick from eating gluten but eating even just a little can do real harm on your intestines, which in turn can cause much further health problems down the road!

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
