Outback's Has Glutenfree Beer From Bardstale

Hello all you celiac-Outbacks-fans!

I was very excited. I just went to our Outback's around here. It's in Mechanicsburg, PA. We go there at least once a month. Kathy, my student, invited me there. So we went in, ordered both our glutenfree menus. After we sat down, the server came, and brought us our glutenfree menus, like always. However then she said: "Would you like to try our new glutenfree beer!" :blink: We were happily shocked. My first reaction was: "Yes!!!!" My 2nd reaction was: "No! I'm pregnant!" :P I don't know, if all Outbacks have this now, but it wouldn't hurt to ask! However they are so low in alcohol, it isn't even mentioned on the bottle.

Because I'm pregnant, I bought one bottle of bardstale beer for at home. It says "wheat, rye, oats and barley free" on the bottle. Then when my husband came home from work and sat down on the couch to watch TV, I said to him. Honey, I have a bottle of beer, do you want me to get it for you? He looked at me, like I'm crazy :huh: , because normally I never get beer for him, when he watches TV. I'm more the "Roseanne"-kind of woman. Quite like: "Honey, if you want it, why don't you program R2D2 to get it for you? I'm busy!" :rolleyes: So I opened the bottle and put some beer into a glas. After he looked at me like what the h... :ph34r: , I explained to him, that this beer is glutenfree and that he is my guinea pig, because I can't drink it actually. So I put some into a glass and just sipped a little bit, just to make the tongue wet and get a taste. It is really, really good. I love it. That tastes a little like the malt beer I had as a kid mixed up with coke or pepsi. Don't ask, it's a german thing. A very gooood german thing. I can't wait, until the baby pops out, so I can actually drink it for real.

Another thought: When you have an Outback's near you, that serves glutenfree beer I would also check the beer distributors around that area. They most likely get that beer, too. What I mean by that, is that Bardstale beer for example might ask other beer distributors in that area, if they would like to give it a try and sell their beer, so that Bardstale doesn't have to make an extra trip just for Outbacks. I mean, in case, it's delivered by truck. I don't know... :unsure:

Hugs, Stef

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
