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

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
