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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
