Abs Redbridge Beer

Has anyone tried Busch's new gluten free beer called redbridge? I was a major beer nut before I went gluten freen and I've really been missing hops. I was pretty into good beers and it certainly doesn't compare to them, but its very drinkable for gluten free food and the beer deprived. Since I found this beer a few weeks ago I've had 18-24 bottles probably. Since then I've started to show some symptoms of gluten including a major outbreak of DH. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. It could very well be that I've eaten something else but this is the only new thing that I've really consumed in major quantity I think. I could easily see some contamination if the plant is the same and uses the same grain mill or something like that.

Anyway, AB's redbridge, safe for you or a reaction?

Went through a couple of cases before I got pregnant. Never had a reaction. It's good stuff.

I had only one and had some pretty bad gas pain from it. I also had a break out from it. I will no longer drink this beer. I'll stick to my Margarettas.

I am on my third 6 pack with no problems. I was just happy to have a reasonably priced beer that I could get locally.

The couple of cases and becoming pregnant weren't consecutive events, were they? B)

I had a couple this weekend for the first time, so far so good. I like the taste of Dragon's Gold better, but it's not $3 a six pack better.

i've never been a big beer drinker, but it tasted like beer to me. my non-celiac boyfriend says it has a weird aftertaste--definitely a beer you drink with a meal and not on its own. i didn't have a reaction to it--and just a trace of barley sends me to the bathroom.

It made me chuckle reading this thread about beer. Since so many people put pictures of themselves in their avatar, I always think it's that person "talking" when I read a post. As I scroll through the discussion of beer, it's a little girl wearing sunglasses and an infant!

No no no... :) lol... But I sure did love my Red Bridge before we started trying to get pregnant.

I have not had a problem with it. I am not a huge beer drinker (prefer wine) but on hot days nothing beats a cold one.

I too have tried this. I experienced some gas and discomfort, of the gluten reaction type, after drinking two beers on one evening. Tastes great and less expensive, but due to the timing of my reaction I will probably not buy it unless AB adds detailed information about the upper limit of gliadin storage protein concentration present in the final produt.

I have it every weekend without a problem. I guess I lucked out because I'm a big beer drinker as well.

Here are a couple other beers you may want to try:

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
