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).

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      @Ginger38, Are you taking a B Complex vitamin? Vitamin D? Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      There's simple dietary changes that can be done to improve Barrett's esophagus. There are vitamins that improve Barrett's esophagus --- most of the B vitamins! Reducing sugary foods and drinks will help. A diet high in simple carbohydrates can deplete Thiamine and other B vitamins needed to process them into energy. Eating green leafy vegetables helps...

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.

      But for someone with Barrett's like @Charlie1946, long term PPI therapy might be necessary.
