Has anyone else heard this? Our local distributor just told us that Busch is marketing a brand new sorghum beer as gluten free!!! I don't have any real information on it, they said it's not out yet. Anyone know anything???

There was some discussion here many months ago. Obviously, it generated great excitement.

I never liked beer before my dx (lucky me) so did not pay too much attention.

I do hope so for all those that miss it.

i just tried a gluten-free beer that is "Toleration" brand. It is from England. I had never had beer before, since I was diagnosed at the age of 13. I payed $7.99 for a bottle (it was a really big bottle). It tasted terible! I drank the whole thing though since I payed so much for it. I had my B-F try and he said that is how beer tastes. So I think it's official I don't like beer. LOL

Beer is definitely an acquired taste. I hated it for many years. I only recently acquired a taste for it.

Apparently it's called Redbridge, and is not supposed to hit the shelves until Jan '07, but anyone who gets it earlier, let us know how it goes!

Hopefully this will go national and bars/nightclubs will begin to stock this product by A-B - let alone all the other channels such as grocery/liquor stores!!!

Really? gluten-free beer in the supermarket? Hmmmm, I haven't had a beer in 2 years. I actually don't know if I want to start....all those calories, and in the state I live in you have to go to a state-run store to get any beer that's over 3.2 % alcohol. Sigh. Although if they come out with it I'm sure I'll give it a try. It would be nice to be able to have a beer with hubby every now and then!

sorghum beer sounds nasty, though.

however, there might certainly be situations where sorghum beer is better than no beer! ;)

another good gluten-free "beverage" is woodchuck cider. especially if you don't like the beer taste, which i don't. even the boyfriend (aka miller lite man) likes it. i can get it at the liquor store here in arkansas, so i think it shouldn't be too hard to come by.

Sorghum beer is actually excellent. It tastes exactly like "real" beer. In Pennsylvania we can only get beer in a beer distributor. They can't sell it in gas stations and supermarkets here. It's well worth the special trip though. Bard's Tale Beer is sorghum also and it is fabulous. Tomorrow's the big day when they're supposedly getting the Red Bridge in. I'll be sure to check in! :)

Don't expect anything you've ever tasted before with the cider. It's an acquired taste. I hated it the first few times I drank it. I still don't like it very much, but it's better than nothing when you're at a party or something. The Bard's Tale is phenomenal. I love it! I was never much of a beer drinker before dx, but I LOVE my Bard's Tale.

I liken the cider flavor to champagne. Like you said, it's NOT beer! I'm interested to try this new beer.

No wonder I like it. I've only had it a couple times, but both times I thought it was good.

I'm really not a drinker but since you all were talking about the beer I had Bard's Tale with my pizza tonite!!! It was good & I enjoyed it. It's funny how in my gluten days I never drank much either but for some reason now being gluten-free I needed that security blanket--- go figure. My hubby just laughs at me..... We make homemade wine (about ten varieties)& I only take a sip of it & it's available all the time...I cook withit though.....Now, I'll have to wait before I can buy more .......

Happy Drinking!!!!!

Or to me a wine cooler....anyway, they are much lighter in taste than beer, but not watery like cheap beer. I've had the Woodchuck Cider, whatever the "regular" one is, and the Pear. I prefer the pear...yum!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
