The View Was Talking About gluten-free Beer Just Now

I was calling another manufacturer about gluten-free stuff and then I had to hang up cuz I was hearing Rosie talking to Elisabeth about how Elisabeth learned she was a Celiac. She was talking about how she was feeling great when she was on Survivor and away from all the gluten products and that is what preciptated her getting tested.

They featured a gluten free beer from Anhauser Busch which is the first beer she has had in a long time.

I hope she continues to keeps talking about this subject on air. Even if she is a republican :)

Elizabeth if you are listening keep featuring gluten-free products. This is a great way to get the word out, support manufacturers that making gluten-free products, to convince other manufacturers there is money to be made by marketing to us.

I was rather disappointed in the time allotted for celiac disease. It was maybe a whole 5 mins, if that, and they spend a good share of that time slopping beer all over. I do not think that people actually could have gotten any good advice from that tiny time frame. I was very disappointed and remembered very quickly why I have never liked The View.

So my husband was right :blink: . I ridiculed him a week ago, because he mentioned it to me. And I said, yeah, like the last time somebody mentioned to you, that Amstel light is glutenfree and then I had a glutenaccident. I didn't see the show. Can you tell me more? How do I know, which one it is from Busch brand. Do they say glutenfree on the bottle. Or wheat, rye, oats or barley free for that matter?

Thanks for the info, Stef

The beer is called Redbridge. Looking at the label on the website, it says "beer made from sorghum" and "made without wheat or barley." I don't see that it says "gluten-free" but maybe that is because the FDA hasn't issued a rule yet saying when manufacturers are permitted to put that on a food that traditionally does include gluten. The proposed rule about that is now out for public comment.

They do say on the website: "Redbridge is made without wheat or barley, so the approximately 3.2 million consumers who are unable to drink beer made with barley due to Celiac Disease or because they follow a wheat-free or gluten-free diet can once again enjoy a great tasting beer." So it sounds safe.

If you are 21, you can get into the site and input your zip code to see where you can buy the stuff.

Has anyone tried any of the other gluten-free beers out there, like Bard's or New Grist? I'm not that fond of Budweiser, so I wonder if I will like Redbridge.

I sipped at Bards last week and it was great. I didn't try New Grist. Never heard of it :unsure: . I just tried to find out that Redbridge beer, but I couldn't find anything in our area. My husband says, he knows where we could buy it around here. It's just strange, that I can't find it with the zip code locator on the internet. :blink:

I just got an article sent to me about the former CEO of Pabst is just now heading up this gluten free brewery called Bard's Tale Beer in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Bard's Tale Beer makes its product from sorghum.

They intend to give competitor Anheuser-Busch's sorghum-based beer Redbridge beer that was introduced last month some competition.

The more competition the better for us. I guess this could mean some lower prices down the road perhaps and a serious approach to providing better products. I haven't tried any yet but maybe I should.

I suggest doing a search for Redbridge on this site...there are numerous threads out there on this delightful topic...gluten free beer! :)

We have New Grist and Redbridge at home. I am the Celiac and don't even like beer, but its nice to have to cook with and Eric likes to drink it...so he can kiss me ;)

I have a feeling that the older gluten-free beers - New Grist, Rampo Valley, and Bard's Tale, are going to find that they are the ones squeezed by the competition of the AB Redbridge release, since AB has a *much* larger advertising budget. :angry:

I finally got some Bards tale from Portland last week and it was great. Had not had a beer since last June. I am very excited to try the new beer from Anhauser Busch. Even though I am a repulican <_<

The prices are coming down and it is not because of Bard's. Actually Bard's and New Grist were out months before Redbridge. Redbridge is the "new kid" on the block. During a visit to the in-laws in NC over Christmas I went to a health food store and "all" three brands were present in one display. I have only tasted New Grist and Redbridge. I did not get the Bard's because it was about $11.50 a six-pack, almost twice the price of what I can get the Redbridge for. I thought the Redbridge tasted very good and I have had my share of beer in the years prior to my diagnosis. The New Grist was not bad when it was the only one I could get but now that has changed and I can shop around. I think since AB is so large then it can produce and sell their product cheaper. What I expect to see down the road are more brewers experimenting with gluten free and I see better tasting and cheaper products in the future. I for one was glad to see AB enter the market because it's sheer size gave much needed recognition to Celiac awareness.

I absolutely love Redbridge. At one of the local liquor/wine stores in Boston that I frequent, the A-B is priced at $7.99 and the Bard's is priced at $11.99...both great products but going on price A-B wins. I like Dragon's Gold but 12 bones + deposit is still a lot - even for a craft beer. Hopefully, they will adjust their price down the line.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
