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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
