Woodchuck ciders are gluten free, and I get mine at the local grocery store. They're GREAT!

I also buy Woodchuck and really like it. We have weird alcohol laws in PA, so there is only one distributor in town that sells it, and you must buy it by the case. However, there are a few restaurants with carryout beer service where you can buy it by the six pack.

For me, it's much less expensive than buying Bard's Tale, and I like it even better as well.

the "natural state" of hard cider should be gluten-free. That said, there was another thread and someone mentioned one brand that had something weird in it. but cider should just be fermented apple juice.

Strongbow, Woodchuck, and all the ones I had in pubs in Ireland :rolleyes: were gluten-free.

Yay! I'm so glad you found it! I think the cider is much better than the two gluten free beers that I've tried. They make several varieties-- my store has the granny smith kind and I can't wait to try it:)

I just checked the website and they actually have pear and raspberry too...hmmmm....wonder if they're good.

They also have, on the website, a direct "gluten free" link to click! What a concept!!

I recently tried Woodchuck's "Dark and Dry" variety - apparently it only comes in a variety pack, of sorts.

I love the "Amber", but this new one blew me away - YUM! Pear is good. I haven't tried raspeberry yet.

Strongbow also gluten-free and a little less sweet tasting than Woodchuck - kind of a more clean, crisp taste.

A new restaurant down the street from me has Strongbow on tap. Yippee!

I've read on these boards before that Hornsby's Ale is NOT gluten-free. So be careful....not all those ciders are safe!

For years, I always wondered why I loved Woodchucks but couldn't drink beer....I thought I just liked the sweetness of the cider. ;)

I was glutened the first time I tried Woodchuck so I'm surprised you all have had good experience with it. Perhaps I had cross contamination from another source.

I like Wyder's hard apple cider, which I buy at Trader Joe's.

Wyder's has a press release right on their website, which references celiac.com. :) They also include their definition of gluten-free, i.e. parts per million.

Woodpecker is very good. I have tried a number of them and found that Woodpecker is not as sweet, more on the dry side.

Original Sin is definitely gluten free - www.origsin.com. I emailed them and got a response back from Gidon Coll. :D

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
