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

      Can I wash gluten off dried chickpeas or green lentils when the packet says “may have been cross contaminated?” Has there been any research into this?  If so what are the results? If no research has been done why not? I am getting mixed advice from different sources, how serious is this or are the food manufacturer being over cautious? Many thanks Catherine

      I've got some lab work results going back to 2010, various MRIs and CT scans and ultrasounds. I discovered two things that MIGHT be of interest to the GI doc tell me what you think? one is the results to an abdominal CT scan with contrast in 2013 that includes this:  "there is some thickening seen in the second and third portions of the duodenum"    Since this CT scan was for left lower quad pain, it was not followed up on   Then in May of 2024 I saw a foot specialist for problems with my feet. Some of that pain is due to a very obvious deformity of both of my legs- the right worse than the left. The dr suggested that my symptoms sounded like an auto immune condition (???) and I thought he was nuts but he ordered some lab work- it came back negative except for a weak positive on one test HLA-B27 and there was a follow up test recommended but that was never ordered and this dr gave me a useless Rx for custom insoles which he refused to address - and my calls to his office were never returned.   At that time I was having all over joint pains, plus some numbness in my feet (also stiffness) and some burning pain in my toes- esp the big toe on the right foot (the more deformed side of my body)   The last time I was eating any appreciable amount of gluten containing foods was in the period of Nov 2024 to around sometime in the summer of 2024. I regularly ate a barley soup that I loved and had subs and pizza and toast etc. I was no longer eating wheat pasta, had already switched to brown rice pasta but otherwise I had not yet made a clear connection between what I was calling 'refined grain products' and any symptoms that I had. And the symptoms were vague and could be attributed to other things.   I was referred to a neurologist in late 2023 for symptoms  of confusion/disorientation, that included loss of balance that I attributed, in part, to the inability to feel where my feet were. Some symptoms such as high spikes in blood pressure (some close to 200 over 100! scary stuff) were later determined to be due to covid or long covid (also had loss of sense of smell and taste)    I had periods of dizziness that did NOT include any spinning sensations, it was more of a feeling of lightheadedness as if my mind would go blank- very strange, never really got any answers about that but that eventually went away so not worried about that   WHAT OTHER THINGS from my past records might be good for the GI dr to know? I had my very first Vit D test done in 2023 and it was low at 23, supplements have gotten that up in the range of adequate but values varied up and down... most recent test was Nov 2025 and it was 45ish I think. That's on a min of 5000Ius per day (there are some fortified foods I eat sometimes that have added vit D)   I thought my serum calcium ran on the low side but it turns out that the reference ranges have changed for the labs that I use- one changed their RR back around er, 2014 I think? so I have no clue how to compare the results before and after those changes   calcium has never been below normal and most of my blood work looks "normal" except during illness or other issues like if I'm in afib- blood work looks insane LOL    I don't know what to make of all this but it sure will be nice to get some answers!

      just a few days off of that drug and my digestive system is finally getting back to normal stopping the gluten challenge was not enough to get back to normal, I was still horribly constipated with what seemed like a paralyzed digestive track- nothing was moving! but now, with a few mag citrate capsules that I had to order online and stopping the chlorthalidone, things are getting back to my usual "working well" digestion   so it's clear that the symptoms I had during the gluten challenge were compounded by the new med that was started the same day (I feel like the Dr really should have known better than to do those two things at the same time, add a new drug and start a new diet protocol... but I'm just the patient, what do I  know, right?)   I am going to do another 24 hr urine in a few weeks to see if lowering the dose of vit D gets my urine calcium down to a more tolerable level. that's the plan.  hope it works.
