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!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
