Cider On Tap

Does anyone know if ALL cider beers are gluten free? How would you be able to tell at a bar especially if it is on tap? I just miss being able to have a beer at a bar with friends, and was thinking that would be a nice subtle way of having a beer with everyone!!! ;)

Woodpecker Cider and Strongbow (it's from England) are gluten free.

Woodchuck cider is gluten free. I believe all flavors of Woodchuck are gluten free. I have seen it on tap in pubs, but I'm not sure that I would trust it. They are wiped down with the same rag used to wipe down the beer taps. Eek.

Cider is made from apples (fermented apple juice). It is gluten-free unless they do something REALLY weird. I've had cider on tap in several pubs and not had a problem, although Guhlia has a point about possible cross contamination.

If I'm not mistaken, I vaguely remember reading the label in grocery store for Hornsby's Hard Cider, and was sad to see that there was barley malt in it? I could be wrong.....I'll look again next time or search for website....I would love to drink a Hornsby's again.

This is so great! On vacation recently a buddy of mine asked if I could have cider on tap and I just said "when in doubt do without", but now I'm happy and I'm gonna try it!

All Woodchuck flavors are gluten-free - many bars have it in bottles - even if they don't have it on tap (avoids the CC issue!)

Even with it on tap, I've never had a problem.

Strongbow too!

Enjoy!

if it has barley malt, that would fit my definition of "really weird" :D Apple cider is supposed to be apples. WHY do these people have to add stuff where it doesn't belong? (rant over)

I bought a six pack of Hornsby's Hard Crisp Apple Cider and believe that it has gluten in it. I've had the usual symptoms. Has anyone contacted them?

Yup, quite a few ciders have barley malt in them. Cider is one of those products where you have to know which brand to get.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
