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.

Ialso tried the new red bridge beer as well as my husband and we thought it was great.

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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
