Chinese Beer?

I live in Milwaukee, so I am a loyal Miller drinker. However, suspecting that I have gluten intolerance, I tried to switch to Budweiser. I can't do it....can't stand the stuff. I tried Lakefront Brewery's Sogrham beer and like that even less than budweiser.

Are Chinese beers,like Tsingtao, gluten free? I've been doing some research, but haven't found anything.

No, here are the ingredients:

Tsingtao is produced with spring water from Laoshan, a mountain area famous throughout China for the purity of its water. Tsingtao ingredients include the highest quality hops, as well as the finest yeast and barley imported from Australia and Canada

I don't care much for Budweizers gluten-free beer either. Have you tried hard cider? Woodchuck ciders are gluten-free and don't have the nasty aftertaste that most gluten-free beers have, to me anyway.

I had Woodchuck ciders a few years ago and I did like them. I never even thought of going that route! Thanks a ton!!!

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your genetic test results confirm that you carry the highest-risk markers for celiac disease, specifically the HLA-DQ2 haplotype (while being negative for HLA-DQ8). The fact that both HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA-DQB1*0201 appear twice means you inherited identical copies from each parent, making you homozygous for these genes. This double dose of the DQ2.5 haplotype is significant because it indicates an even stronger genetic predisposition to celiac disease compared to those who only inherit one copy. Research suggests that people with this homozygous pattern may have a higher likelihood of developing the disease, potentially more severe immune responses to gluten, and a stronger association with dermatitis herpetiformis (which aligns with your diagnosis). While this genetic profile doesn’t guarantee worse symptoms, it does reinforce why strict gluten avoidance is critical for you. Since you’re already diagnosed, the main takeaway is that your results explain your biological susceptibility—no further genetic counseling is needed unless you have family planning questions. The repeating variants simply mean both parents passed you the same high-risk alleles, which is why your body reacts so strongly to gluten. Ultimately, your diagnosis and management remain the same, but this insight helps underscore the importance of lifelong dietary diligence.

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you and your daughter are navigating celiac disease with a lot of care and dedication, and it’s wonderful that you’re prioritizing her health and growth during this critical time. Since her antibody levels and growth have plateaued, tightening up her diet by avoiding eating out (except at dedicated gluten-free places) is a smart move—even if it’s challenging socially. Many parents of celiac kids report significant growth spurts once gluten exposure is minimized, so there’s hope she’ll catch up if her levels improve. As for the future, while her growth window closing may reduce some risks, celiac is lifelong, and staying as strict as possible will likely always be best to avoid long-term complications, even if occasional cautious outings become manageable later. Navigating this with a teenager is tough, especially with spontaneous social events. For unplanned outings, keeping safe snacks (like GF protein bars, nuts, or fruit) in her bag or your car can help. To boost nutrition, try sneaking in variety where you can—like lentil or chickpea pasta instead of rice pasta, or adding veggies and proteins to her favorite dishes. Involving her in meal planning might help with pickiness, and connecting with other celiac families or support groups could provide social strategies and emotional support. It’s exhausting, but you’re doing an amazing job—your efforts now will set her up for a healthier future. Hang in there!
