yeah... most of them do. It was a sad day at my house when I found that out too... :(

But the good news is: There are a few gluten-free beers that are pretty easily accessible. I've only had 2, so I can only give my opinion on those. Redbridge is my fav... tastes a little like Sam Adams. So, I like it. The other one was New Grist Beer, which is made from rice and sorghum. It kind of tastes a little like what I would imagine beer and sake would taste like mixed together. I didn't love it.

Also, a lot of hard ciders are gluten-free. Woodchuck has a statement on their website that all of their ciders are gluten-free. I can't drink them too often, but they're a nice change.

If you are a true beer lover, as I was! You will hate Red-bridge, and, I will deem it the worst beer I ever drank!

Give up, my beer drinking friend, there is no good beer for you.

But!!!!

Jack Daniels is "proven" Gluten free!!! Nothing like a Jack and Diet Coke, with a plate full of good 'Ol fried food!

You must learn a new way to drink, (and eat my friend). Sorry for my sloppy typing!. Im eating a fresh killed deer as I type!!!! I suggest getting a gun and learning to kill your own food. Wild game is everywhere and very tasty! Not only is it nutritus, its fun to kill, and eat as well!!!!

Deer can be ground into burger, and you cant tell it from beef.

Also you can make squirrel stew, fried squirrel, fried rabbit, (if you dont know, use Bobs Red Mill All Purpose Flour.

What else can you eat?

Quail

Muskrat (wonderfull!)

Wild Hogs

Dove

And depending on where you live< Moose, Elk, Antelope, Beaver, Bobcat, Badger, Duck, Goose, Coot, Jack Rabbit, Porcupine, Groundhog.

If it moves, it will feed you. And it is Gluten free!

Want to feel proud????

Kill your own meat, grow your own vegetables, and drink good Kentucky Whiskey!

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Life is good my friend.

Fend for yourself, and leave the rest to the shallow idiots who eat every meat at McDonalds, Wendy's and Taco Bell!!

I am in Ontario, Canada. The only gluten-free beer available here is La Messagere. You can get it at the government monopoly liquor store for an excruciating cost of $17.75 for a 6-pack. It is brewed in Quebec, and is available in stores there. It will never replace Guiness, but I find it to be satisfying. I went six years without beer before trying it, so my memory of "real" beer was rather dim by then.

I was a beer lover... and I have had many a skunky beer. RedBridge is not one of them. Whiskey is not a replacement for beer.

Never was a beer drinker. Tom recommended Greens and the review says it's similar to IPA.

      Anyone From South Africa

      By trents · Posted

      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

      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!!

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.
