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

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
