I love mike's hard lemonade and smirnoff drinks, but i'v heard they are not gluten free. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick, cheap, chick beers that i can enjoy with friends and not worry about the stomach ache afterward?

A glass of Sprite plus a shot (or two) of vodka and a splash of lemon juice. It's quick because everything comes out of a bottle and it tastes VERY similar to Mike's Hard Lemonade when you get the proportions right. I used to drink this all the time before I acquired a taste for beer.

Woodchuck cider. I like the pear.

I'm a huge fan of fox cider. Says gluten-free on the bottle, comes in apple, pear and black currant. Super nummy stuff. I'm also a fan of Magners over ice, but that can be hard to find in the US away from large Irish populations. Ace cider is also gluten-free.

Woodchuck cider is the best, I absolutely love the stuff. You can pretty much order it at any bar, and it is carried in most grocery stores and ABC stores. I've tried the Redbridge gluten free beer, its ok, but I'll stick to woodchuck.

Mike's new lite version states gluten free on the box! But it still states it is a malt beverage so I emailed them and here is their new response! Things have come a long way in the last several years!

Thank you so much for contacting mike

Besides, despite the fact that this is an international board so legal drinking ages vary, should we really be talking about alcohol on the teenager board?

This thread is resurrected from 2008. It is for teens & young adults. If alcohol is what they want to talk about, I guess that's was Ok. Too late nowv.

I think you missed this line of the previous post "multi stage filtration process which removes all gluten". This filtration process, which happens in MOST alcohol, eliminates the gluten content. This goes for Vodka's as well. The product, although origingally containing malt, goes through such an intensive filtration and purification that the malt content of gluten is eliminated completely. The test refered to are the same as those that certified Gluten-Free food undergo to get their approval.

No I didn't miss it. Some of us react to very slight amounts of gluten and some of us do react to distilled gluten. Malted beverages are not something we should consume no matter how 'filtered' they are.

I know I react to vodka, which caught me by surprise given all I've heard/read about the distillation and filtration processes removing gluten. Clearly I must be super sensitive, and not the only one who's come to this realization. That being said, I tend to stick to wine (if you like sweet/fruity drinks try moscato, barefoot moscato is really cheap in the states and DELICIOUS), woodchuck cider, and 100% agave tequila (since it states it clearly on the bottle and therefore requires no googling or phone calls).

As for the whole discussing alcohol thing: I'm 24 and consider myself a young adult as far as health/medical history things go.

Anyways, best of luck! Trial and error seems to be the only way to figure out your sensitivity level, as much as that stinks. Personally I figured out the vodka thing after eating neurotically gluten free for a week, having my first drink all week, and vomiting 1/2 an hour later. On the bright side, now I know!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
