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

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
