Has anyone tried Amstel Light ? Any problems?

I have noticed that Heineken USA has taken their "gluten-free" claim in the FAQ section off their website.

Amstel Light is not gluten free, neither is Heineken.

I had some brain fog from it, that's about all. It still has 15 chains of barley left in it, but no wheat. It's probably okay in moderation. I drink it on specail occasions, since beer is my favorite bev of all time.

anyone find a distributor for Bard pale ail. Tehy won't ship direct.

I thought all beer was permenantly off limits to us. There's beer out there (mainstream beer, I mean) that is gluten-free?

There's mainstream beer out there that CLAIMS to be gluten-free. It might indeed be very low gluten but I personally don't believe it's gluten-free. And if somebody's getting gluten-induced brain fog (as opposed to too-much-alcohol-induced brain fog, then the gluten is obviously doing some damage.

I tried Amstel light yesterday evening and this morning i'm so bad. It's definitely not gluten-free :angry: And i didn't even drink the entire bottle. I left a rest in it. I already posted it somewhere else twice in here. I've had diarrhea really bad and i think i'm throwing up every moment and i have real bad stomach ache. So after i posted it everywhere to warn you real quick i will spent the rest of the day in bed.

Don't drink it, it's not worth it :(

are your gluten symptoms always that bad?? it actually sounds to me like you may have the stomach flue. I have never in my life had symptoms like that from gluten. i know everyone is different, but that sounds a little extreme for a gluten reaction.

I still drink the amstel , but supplement with the following ciders:

Cider Jack and Woodchuck, that way when you hand everyone a beer, you have somehting in a bottle as well.

Dark and dry by Woodchuck and Cider Jack is the best!!

I don't think it was the stomache flue. Not when that what comes out smells exactly like the beer you drank before.

When did BEER which is brewed from wheat become gluten-free?!?! Am I missing something here? Furthermore many of the Ciders contain Gluten too. I used to drink K cider because it is so good, but I hate twist off caps. Any one know of a truely gluten-free Cider?

Cheers...

christtheking - It's not just beer from wheat. Budweiser doesn't use wheat, they're rice. BUT they all still use barley. Same for all the japanese rice beers. It's the barley.

I'm hoping to try one (ok both) of the truly gluten-free beers that came out this yr. I think they may technically be mead since there is no barley. But i've heard only good things about the beery flavor and look fwd to either being distributed on the west coast.

My local Whole Foods looked into Bard's Tale and said there was not yet a distributor.

Tom,

You seem to know alot about beer. Can you tell me if beer can be brewed without brewers yeast? York labs came up positive on this yeast for me. :(

Now there really is a tear in my beer. .. parting is such sweet sorrow!

O well at least there is French wine. :)

I spoke with a rep from Amstel Light and they say it is gluten free. If you email them, they will explain the process to you. It is allowed and used by Celiacs in Europe. I drink it on occassion w/o any problems and I am fairly sensitive. The Ramapo Beer tastes awful. And sometimes I am so tired of wine.

Regarding yeast... yeast is in the production of any alcoholic product. Only distilled spirits are without yeast as the yeast does not survive the distillation process. All beer, wine, cider, perry and mead contain some amount of yeast. Filtering does not remove all of it and only large commercially brewed beers are generally filtered (e.g. Bud).

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
