Red Bridge Beer!

Okay, so I sent my husband to the store to get a case of Bard's Tale. He just called me on the way home and said that they opened up their sample bottle of Red Bridge beer for him to try. He said it was very good, similar in taste to Bard's Tale. He thought that it may be slightly lighter than Bard's Tale, but definitely heavier than the New Grist. All in all he said it was a very good beer. I'm so jealous that I sent him... I should've gone myself. They're supposed to have Red Bridge in my distributor this coming Wednesday. I hope they actually get it in this week.

Angie,

Where was the sample available? Was the place a speciality beverage store? I have read where Red Bridge would not be out until January 2007. This is good news. Did your DH get any idea how much it might cost? Looking foward to tasting it. I am able to get New Grist at Kroger here in Virginia. It is a little pricey ($33 a case) but I expect the price to go down after this AB product becomes available. I like the New Grist pretty good so I am interested in how this brand compares. The other thing that is encouraging is that since AB is so large this product will probably be available in resturants, clubs etc. Thanks for the heads up.

Tom, my husband said that he preferred the Red Bridge over the New Grist. He said it's slightly fuller flavored, but without all the bite that Bard's Tale has. He's almost as excited for the release of it as I am, and he's not even gluten free by necessity. Our distributor had no clue what the price would be. The guy said he wouldn't know until he actually got a case in and was billed for it. It's not currently on A-B's price list, so I guess we'll find out when they get it in. Either way, even if it's not any cheaper than the other gluten free beers, it's a mainstream beer that we will be able to order through anyone who carries A-B products. Woo-hoo!!!

In San Antonio they are having a tasting of this beer. I got a six pack of Bard's Tale and I wasn't much of a beer drinker before but I love Bard's Tale. However, I think Whole Foods brand of gluten-free beer will be this new Redbridge since they told me theirs was being made by AB. I'll have to ask them this weekend when they will have it in Atlanta - how cool!

Update - I called AB (1-800-342-5283) to inquire about where/when Redbridge will be available in GA and after being put on hold for quite a while she said I'd have to give my phone number for someone to look into the matter as this product is on in test markets now and she couldn't say anything more. Someone should get back to me within 10 days. In the mean time, I think anyone who wants this product in their market needs to call AB themselves so they see there is interest in getting this item out there. Even if you choose not to give your number, they will make a note that you called about Redbridge gluten free beer so it will help us all. For obvious reasons, you must be 21 years old to call.

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
