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).

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
