Woodchuck Draft Cider

Ok,

I have had to cut out alot...and reading that Captain Morgan's products are safe, my husband and I ran across a Draft Cider that has printed on the label, "Naturally Gluten Free"

I've seen alot of hard cider's that in fact ARE not. I picked up a 6-pack with out any hesitation.

However I remember reading on Anheiser Busch's website that their beer is gluten free but not wheat free. How that is possible is beyond me.

Tonight sitting watching the Angels vs Yankees that came to mind. I said something to the hubby and he said I might should look it up.

So I did.

This is what is plainly stated ON their home page:

"All varieties of Woodchuck are naturally gluten free. Since Woodchuck has always

Redbridge (by Anheuser-Busch) is made without wheat. I just had it for the first time last night and I give it two enthusiastically drunk thumbs up.

"Redbridge is made without wheat or barley, so the approximately 3.2 million consumers who are unable to drink beer made with barley due to Celiac Disease or because they follow a wheat-free or gluten-free diet can once again enjoy a great tasting beer. "

I'm hoping I can find that cider somewhere near me!

Which ciders have you found that are not gluten-free? My experience (in the U.S.) has been that most are gluten-free.

Woodchuck is really good - especially the one with the orange label (I think the one with the green label is just a touch too sweet). And there is a bar near me that has it on draft! It is definitely worth checking out.

I can't remember off the top of my head. There is a hard cider that is sold at my local Food Lion and I looked it up and was NOT gluten free. Next time I'm at the store I'll be sure to find it and post it.

I thought it odd that it was considered a cider, but wasn't processed ONLY from apples like Woodchuck.

there was a post about it. click here

I can't find any info that's definite. But, I don't see any info saying it is NOT gluten-free, soooo...in that case I treat it as not safe.

Woodchuck though DOES guarantee all their cider's are gluten-free...and are made in a gluten-free facility. That to me is safe :)

Hornsby ciders are gluten free. If you click on the link that you provided you can see the statement from the company. That said, I do like Woodchucks better, FWIW, but the green-labelled ones are the green apple ones and taste the tartest (at least to me). Incidentally, they also have six flavors now: red apple, green apple, dark & dry, pear, raspberry and a fall flavor with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Hornsby has now confirmed that their cider is gluten-free. I really can't think of a hard cider that isn't gluten-free.

I am going to give a half assed answer but I do recall a cider not being gluten-free. Can't remember the brand but I am pretty sure it was only a certian variety that was not gluten-free and the others were ok.

I believe it was a "draft" variety that came in a bottle that was no good.

Original Sin is another I have had that is gluten-free and was good.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
