No you can not have beer or malt liquor. Beer and Malt liquors are made with barley and or wheat. There are gluten free beers around, Redbridge is the one made by the same folks as bud.

Some also avoid gluten grain derived distilled or hard liquors, I am one.

Redbridge beer is pretty good. There is a list under "forbidden" foods that tells you which alcohol os ok and which isn't. just go to the home page on this site and scroll down....you'll see it. When I first found I needed to be gluten-free, I printed off the lists....I take them shopping with me....so I know what to look for in ingredients!

If you go to the Redbrige site: www.redbridgebeer.com, you can type in your zip code and it will give you a list of places near you where you can buy it!!!!

Alas :( the no beer aspect of the gluten-free diet was particulary hard for my hubby in the beginning.

You can get gluten-free beer in some of the larger Asda stores in the free from aisle but cheap it ain't !! :rolleyes: (around

gluten-free beers in the US, I've had all 4 of these! Ranked in order of what I liked the best. The Honey Beer from Rampo Valley was good at first, but after a few I started to lose interest. Thought I do love Bards Take and New Grist. Not really a fan of Redbridge. Never really was a fan of those expensive lite beers like Coors and so on(I liked the cheap lite bears, Pabst/Hamms)

Here's one I haven't tried.

Here's an international site about this,(Warnings this is the UK, and gluten free ppm(parts per million) levels are different, so some that may be called gluten-free might not be thought of as gluten-free in the US, for good reason....)

      When you say you didn't think twice when it was offered to you, are you meaning that you dismissed it or that without hesitation you got the vaccination?

      I would note that the article linked here is putting forth a hypothesis, not presenting a scientific conclusion. And the one about zinc as a treatment for shingles is careful to say that the evidence is weak. It gets a "Source of validity" science rating of 2 out of 5.

      When I had my Shingles attack in 2019 my vitamin D was at 49 ng/ml.  Doctor gave me an antiviral shot and 2 tubes of lidocaine. Sufficient intake of vitamin D and the antiviral essential mineral Zinc can help reduce risk of viral infections.   I've been taking Zinc Glyconate lozenges since 2004 for airborne viruses. I have not had a cold since, even while friends and family were dropping like flies. Evidence supporting the use of: Zinc For the health condition: Shingles

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.
