Hi, I am new to the site. The doc says I have Celiac Disease. Having two issues with it. One which I have a handle on now. I like P&J sandwiches, but I have found a few good bread recipies.

Then #2. Where is the a list of Gluten free beers? I have a week spot for the harder achohol and need to stay with beer. Can anyone help me out? Would like to get it in a can if possible.

Thanks, and take care B)

Redbridge by Budwiser is pretty good - but expensive. There is another I heard is pretty good too, but even more expensive - Bairds Tale

I hadn't had a buzz in probably 10-15 years, but this past school year was so awful that I decided that I was definitely going to have a beer on the last day of school when I got home. Of course, being on the gluten free diet, I had to plan ahead, so I went to the Whole Foods Market and bought a six-pack of Bard's Tale Beer-Dragon's Gold (it even has a cool name). It's made from sorghum and is awesome! There were quite a few gluten free brands from which to choose, but that's the only one I've tried.

I found some Redbridge. Not to bad if I must say. To bad it is pricey kinda like a micro. I t will do. I will just learn to savor it in an icy mug.

I have tried the New Grist Beer, and Redbridge. I like Redbridge better. It's pretty good.

I have never seen gluten-free beer in a Can. I think bottles are easier for smaller runs/batches/production.

That's funny - I like New Grist better!

Red Bridge by Anhueiser Busch - easy to find, tasty (picture Heineken mixed with Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada), priced the lowest

Bard's Tale - Dragon's Gold - the best IMO, harder to find, very pricey

New Grist by Lakefront - a lighter beer, harder to find, very pricey

Romapo Valley has a gluten free beer - never tried it, couldn't find it

There are a few more, but they're very hard to find. So long as you don't live in PA, you should be able to find Red Bridge at your local super Walmart or grocery store. The others are much harder to find. Red Bridge is the best priced as well. I'm sure Tom will pop up with some input as well. :) (Hi Tom!)

My husband likes Red Bridge, but also New Grist by Lakefront Brewery (out of Milwaukee).

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
