Easter Dinner Questions?

Hi all,

I've been poking around this wonderful website for a couple days and left a post about a potty training regression my four year old is going through under the doctor thread, but essentially I am really new to all this. I am the mother of a 4 year old girl who needs to be gluten free, a husband who is gluten-free also, and now I am begining to suspect that i also nbeed to stay off the gluten. The dilema of the day is; Will gluten free beer be ok to marinate a ham in for Easter Dinner?

I haven't looked at the product myself and I am a bit confused how fermentation is bad in some situations but not in others. I assume this beer is fermented, right. Wouldn't it need to be to be an alcoholic bev?

I love this site, I am just begining to realize the severity of my daughters allergy. We have gluten-free since about december. Something is bothering her and after reading all your posts I am discovering that environment is as important as what is ingested. Thanks for the great site!

Kristan :)

There are gluten free beers that will be just fine....Redbridge by Budweiser is a newer one and fairly easy to find in some regions.

Aside from never hearing about merinating a Ham, gluten free beer such as Red Bridge is fine.

Maybe it's not called merinating. I am not much of a cook and have never cooked a ham, turkey, etc. that's what Hubby and mom's are for. Since my family has become gluten-free I have been working less and making a big effort to cook whole foods (rice, lentils, millet, etc. ). One of my goals is to cook a whole bird right off.

Thanks for the info on the beer. Can anyone out there explain why fermentation and yeast can be a prob for people who are gluten-free?

I'm not sure if it is the fermentation and yeast that you have to worry about with Celiac (unless that is a different food problem you may have). Regular beer contains gluten because of the ingredients (usually barley and wheat, I think) but the gluten-free beer is made of sorghum instead so there's no gluten. Redbridge is quite good, it reminds me of Sam Adams.

Yes, it is the barley that almost all beers are malted from that is the issue. Fermentation, per se, is not a concern, but the concern is just what you ferment.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

      I had to rush to the hospital last week due to anaphylactic shock from taking a dose of an antibiotic. Received EpiPen, steroids, antihistamines, zofran (all injected/IV). When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this...

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      How Social Media Algorithms Are Fueling Gluten Anxiety: TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram Trends

      Good, balanced analysis. I liked the comparison of the different platforms in this context. Fwiw, the same essay largely would work if you substitute any of many contemporary topics. As a moderator of this site, have you stepped back and considered how this site fits into this essay? Personally, I don't think I have enough visibility into the comments...

Has anyone else experienced this or happen to know why that would happen? The meds they gave me were all meds that I've taken to try to resolve the rashes, but they never worked in pill form. I'm wondering if it the addition of the epi that helped, it if injected steroids and antihistamines were what did the job.

But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.
