Hey all, I just was wondering if anyone on here has had problems with gluten free beer. And by problems I mean do they get sick(diarrhea, stomach problems, etc.)? I was diagnosed over a year ago and have been living a gluten free lifesyle ever since and I have been feeling great! but it seems like everytime I drink my symptoms come back, even tho it is gluten free. The beers I have had are Bard's Tale and Red Bridge. I get sick even tho I only drink two or three beers. So I was just wondering if anyone else has had any of these problems. Thanks for the contined support everyone.

I find that Red Bridge gives me a headache and makes me feel really bloated. I mean, most beers did that anyway, but it feels like it just stays in my stomach for hours and hours, just sitting there. I really loved beer before I had to go gluten-free, and I like Red Bridge, but it's almost like before I can get half way through it, I feel drunk. So, add that to the list of things I don't consume anymore. :(

I find that since I've been gluten free alcohol and I do not agree like we used to. I feel drunk after only 1 or two drinks, and if I go beyond that I'm puking, sometimes I wont keep anything down for 12 hours if I have too much. If I drink anything now its b/c I still want to be social. I get one drink and sip it slowly. Wine really is the only apealing thing to me anymore, but still gets me dizzy and dried out aven after one :( I tried redbridge, but I think the pack I got was expired, it tasted reallly old!

I think missing beer has been the hardest thing for me, especially with the weather getting nice here in NY. I personally have not had an issue with gluten-free beer. Your problem may have something to do with the specific food you're eating. If you don't have many carbs in your system then there isn't much to absorb the alchohol other then your body so you get drunk faster.

A tip for drinking Redbridge, add a slice of lemon. It take the bitter aftertase away and is much more enjoyable, to me anyway.

Hello,

I don't get sick but do feel bloated and gassy from bardstale, redbridge, and after two strongbow's (hard apple cider). I thought it was the carbonation but I can drink a couple of rum and cokes with no problems so its something else? I too miss beer especially Miller Lite at the baseball games!

I think those beers use sorghum instead of wheat. I know some of us on here have issues with sorghum. It makes me feel crappy!

Maybe your systems just have issues with the fermentation process byproducts. There's a lot of yeast in beer, right? You probably haven't had any yeast in forever, since you're not eating bread all the time.

Thank you all for the replys and the support, very much appreciated. I was just wondering tho, if anyone who drank gluten free beer got diarrhea from it, as if they had eaten gluten? Nonetheless, thanks for the help.

I was one heck of a beer lover. (bud) After starting my gluten-free diet I really missed my beer. I called around and found a place that sold redbridge. Halfway through my first one I already felt the alcohol hit me. :) I drank quite a few, and I had no problems at all with it. Have you looked into making your own gluten-free beer?

As someone who enjoyed very dark beer before my gluten-free days, I cannot say that I am fond of the idea or the taste of gluten-free beer.

I'll take a whiskey sour, thank you.

I bought some Bard's yesterday and 30 minutes after drinking one I was in the bathroom.

Sin cider is the best thing I've tried so far. Bard's is sort of filling is a gassy...I can't drink more than 1 and a half way.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
