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

      Positive biopsy

      I agree with @trents that the IgA you listed sounds like a total IgA, not celiac-specific, if 114 is normal. Were any other antibody tests run?

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Positive biopsy

      What you describe is seronegative villous atrophy (negative antibody tests but positive biopsy). It is uncommon in coeliac disease, and there are other causes, but the most common cause is coeliac disease. I would pursue this with your healthcare provider if possible. Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility...

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each...

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!
