My distributor just called me and let me know that the new Red Bridge sorghum beer will be delivered tomorrow and the price will be $29.99 for a case. For reference, normal beer around here is about $20 a case, Mike's Hard Lemonade is about $27 a case. Bard's Tale sells for about $43 a case. Woo-Hoo!!! This time they were sure they would be getting it in tomorrow. He called their distributor to make sure before calling me. :) The distributor is Brass Rail Beverage in Campbelltown, PA, just in case anyone is in the area and interested.

I am so jealous!!!

How did you figure out where it would be stocked? Did you just ask around?

I really hope to see some near me soon -- in the meantime, drink a toast to us when you throw back your Friday evening beer tomorrow! :D

The distributor actually told my husband about the beer. We had never heard of it before. They've been expecting it in now for about a week and a half. Arrival was gauranteed for tomorrow though. I'm sure you can ask your local distributor to order some in... It's an Anhueser-Busch beer. Oh, and I called A-B today and they said it is definitely gluten free. Yea!!!

Yeah, definitely a good deal on gluten free beer. I called A-B tonight and they confirmed that it is definitely gluten free. Yea!!! I'll post tomorrow when they get it in. Hopefully we can get Outback to carry this one since it's so much cheaper. I think they all get it from Kirchner's in Lancaster. Maybe I'll have to do some checking around on that.

Should I take a drive or will you buy them out this afternoon? :D:D:D

Wegmans should have this also by the first of next month, I can't wait.

I will definitely be going out there this afternoon. We've dubbed today as "Red Bridge Day". I never in a million years thought that I could be so excited over beer.

It's here!!! It's delicious!!! It tastes similar to a Heineken and Rolling Rock mix. It has no bite and is slightly lighter than Bard's Tale. All in all, very good. I'll let you guys know how it tastes when it's actually cold. Right now it's kind of sort of cold. Still great! Woo-Hoo!!!!

BTW, it was the projected $29.99, significantly cheaper than all of the other gluten free beers.

:) I have been looking for beer since July and the local liqor store come up with one made in Milwaukee.

The name is New Grist made by Lakefront Brewery. I finely got ahold of some as they sell out as fast as they get it in which surprised me as I live on the western slope in Colorado in a small town. I had a bottle and it taste like real beer. This is something others may want to check out. They have a web site

www.lakefrontbrewery.com click on New Grist. The beer is also made with sorghum and rice extract. Cheers to all.

Hawkeye, if you call your liquor store they will likely order you what you want and reserve it for you. The Bard's Tale Beer is a much richer beer with a full flavor and a nice bite to it. New Grist is kind of more like a light beer in comparison, still good though. Red Bridge tastes more like a mainstream bar beer with a slightly perfume-like flavor such as Heinekin. Most distributors should be able to get Red Bridge since it's made by Anhueser-Busch.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅
