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

      Hello, @Aretaeus Cappadocia, My favorite source of B12 is liver.  😺 I react to nutritional yeast the same way as if I were glutened.  Casein, a protein in dairy, and nutritional yeast have protein segments that match certain antigenic protein segments in gluten.  The proteins in rice, corn (maize), and chicken meat have them as well.   Some people with Celiac might tolerate them without a problem, but I need to avoid them.  For those still having symptoms, cutting these out of our diet may improve symptoms.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ainsleydale1700! First, it is very unlikely, given your genetic results, that you have celiac disease. But it is not a slam dunk. Second, there are some other reasons besides having celiac disease that your blood antibody testing was positive. There are some diseases, some medications and even (for some people) some foods (dairy, the protein "casein") that can cause elevated celiac blood antibody test scores. Usually, the other causes don't produce marginally high test scores and not super high ones. Having said that, by far, the most common reason for elevated tTG-IGA celiac antibody test scores (this is the most common test ordered by doctors when checking for celiac disease) is celiac disease itself. Please post back and list all celiac blood antibody tests that were done with their scores and with their reference ranges. Without the reference ranges for negative vs. positive we can't tell much because they vary from lab to lab. Third, and this is an terrible bum steer by your doc, for the biopsy results to be valid, you need to have been eating generous amounts of gluten up to the day of the procedure for several weeks.  Having said all that, it sounds most likely that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. The two share many common symptoms but NCGS is not autoimmune in nature and doesn't damage the lining of the small bowel. What symptoms do you have? Do you have any blood work that is out of norm like iron deficiency that would suggest celiac disease?

      HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its own, DQB102 does not usually form the full DQ2 molecule most strongly linked to celiac disease, which is likely why your doctor said you do not carry the typical “celiac genes.” However, genetics are only part of the picture. A negative gene test makes celiac disease much less likely, but not absolutely impossible in rare cases. More importantly, both antibody testing and biopsy are only reliable when someone is actively eating gluten; being gluten-free for four years before testing can cause both bloodwork and intestinal biopsy to appear falsely negative. Given your positive antibodies and ongoing symptoms, it may be reasonable to seek clarification from a gastroenterologist experienced in celiac disease about whether proper gluten exposure was done before testing and whether additional evaluation is needed.

      I agree with your post and have had similar experiences. I'm commenting to add the suggestion of also using nutritional yeast as a supplement. It's a rich source of B vitamins and other nutrients, and some brands are further supplemented with additional B12. I sprinkle a modest amount in a variety of savory recipes.
