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...

I have some gluten-free honey beer from Ramapo valley brewery in new york. Its pretty good. Much better than getting sick off cheap beer. They have a website too.

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).

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
