I've had pleasant results from two beers brewed in Milwaukee...

Lakefront Brewing.......New Grist ....good

Sprecher Brewing.....Shakparo.....great

Caveat: no gluten free beer will ever come close to tasting like a hearty ale or stout or lager ...american or european.... but they do a great job

of trying to make a gluten free beer taste good

I thought that until I tried Green's - a Belgian brewer.

Had never imagined gluten-free could be so pubworthy. 3 varieties & each was spectacular in its own right, tho one was less my type. Can't remember the names offhand.

Unfortunately, they were 5 or 6 bucks per 500ml bottle!! :o

It's about time I splurge again :D

I've been trying to find a place that sells that. How'd you get it?

Also, Sprecher makes a gluten-free beer called Mbege along with the Shakparo. The Mbege has a banana flavor that's a little overwhelming by itself, but with a spicy meal is delicious.

My boyfriend's working on making a gluten-free beer. The first batch was okay, but needs some work.

I get the Greens from Bev Mo, they just began to carry it and have been buying it regularly in the hopes that they will continue to carry it and not discontinue it.

They stock 3 kinds of the Greens, I go by the color of the label, I prefer the orange label, I think it is called discovery.

The lightest colored label (quest?) is nasty IMO and the darkest colored label (endeavor) is OK but not as good as the orange label and is too strong, not the taste but the alcohol.

Thanks for the beer tip! I will have to check those out next time I'm in the US.

As for a good tasting lager --- I'm not sure if it has come to America but Spain's Estrella Damm for Celiacs is EXCELLENT! It is real beer made from malt and is approved by both the Spanish and Italian celiac societies. It has a gluten level of fewer than 6ppm.

In the UK it is imported by Anhauser-Busch so maybe forthcoming in the US?

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
