I can drink Corona all right, and I was wondering if I might be able to drink Landshark too?

Don't these beer have barley malt in them like most beers? They might not be "wheat" beers. Where did you find out that these are gluten free?

Corona has a facebook page with questions and answers. This is what they list the ingredients are:

-Corona Extra is made with all natural ingredients, water, barley, hops and yeast.

Barley or malt listed for beer contain gluten.

No beer made from barley malt is gluten-free.

You need to find one of the sorghum craft beers if you want to drink beer.

Looking at some previous posts, I noticed you mentioned Corona and were reminded that it is not gluten free. You also ignored people who mentioned it so I suppose this will be ignored too. You have been on these forums long enough to know that you are damaging yourself even if you don't have an immediate reaction.

I am not a celiac, I just have a gluten allergy. My doctor told me that if I could tolerate it I could drink it. Remember, it IS possible to just have an allergy and not be full blown celiac!

Funny thing is, I got that Redbridge gluten free beer and it tastes like Bud Wheat beer! It's dark and delicious!

OOOH Redbridge! Yes I would MUCH rather drink a good gluten-free beer but I really don't like Bards ( I tried. I failed). I am going to order some Redbridge today, thanks for the tip!!

I am in the same boat as you, not diagnosed as celiac, but with a very pronounced gluten intolerance.

Notice that I wrote gluten and not wheat. Thankfully I hate beer and ales.

Wheat does horrible things to me.

Barley and rye give me massive exhaustion and give me those heavy limbs and neuropathic chills.

I don't have any damage to my intestines but I wonder, even without that, if the barley isn't hurting you somehow in which you are not aware yet??

That is just my two sous K8ling!

Just don't do any harm to yourself,

Some beers that aren't wheat based have an almost immeasurable amount of gluten because the barley malt has so little. I still don't drink them, but i can see how somebody with an allergy might be fine. Some people with a wheat allergy are able to eat spelt.

"Gluten allergy" is a misnomer for gluten intolerance, and no amount of gluten is safe for someone with a gluten intolerance.

With your family history of Celiac's and bowel cancers, I would do all that I could to avoid any grain of wheat, rye, or barley in my diet to avoid taking the path that others in the family took.

You are right: a wheat allergy is different from Celiac's.

The doctor was wrong telling you that if you can tolerate it, you can eat it. That's horrible advice and I would never go to him again if it was my choice.

Funny thing about allergies: often time, the more you expose yourself to the allergen, the more of a reaction you will have to it.

Good luck with your future diet.

Sake and hard ciders are pretty widely available and taste great.

If it is an allergy instead of celiac the "only" harms to the body are the actual symptoms experienced. With that in mind, I say enjoy a beer for all of us who can't :)

I've read a lot of posts from you saying that you're always feeling sick and you're husband doesn't respect your need for a clean kitchen and that you've constantly struggled with getting glutened. If I were you, which I recognize that I'm not, I'd cut out all of that stuff, including beer, just so I could feel better again. I understand that you just have an "allergy" but just because you don't notice a reaction, doesn't mean there isn't one.

There are gluten intolerances and there are wheat allergies and much rarer tested for gluten allergy, a "gluten allergy" is a normally term used by someone who doesn't know what the word allergy means.

The symptoms you've mentioned are not allergy symptoms they are intolerance symptoms. Corona is most likely not safe for you to consume. What test was done specifically to determine your gluten allergy?

I'm guessing Landshark Lager has gluten in it since lagers usully contain water, hops, malt (from barley), and yeast. I think the only gluten-free product produced by Anheuser-Busch, which makes Landshark, is Redbridge.

In any case, it you're interested in gluten-free beers, here's a list of products by country: Open Original Shared Link I'm not sure how widely available all of the products are, but it may be a starting point.

I also highly suggest Woodchuck Ciders (Open Original Shared Link). They defintely have a different taste than beers, but they are gluten-free and delicious. Hope this helps.

What WheatChef said is correct. You describe symptoms of intolerance, not allergy. You find some people on here who started with intolerance and were eventually diagnosed with celiac.

Beer is something I miss for sure, but I think you are playing with fire if you keep drinking it.

I tried Redbridge this weekend (thanks to my wonderful hubby for hunting it down) and it was yummy. Rich and hoppy. It's even better ice cold. For gluten-free beer, it's winner!

Simply out of principle, you shouldn't drink Landshark because it is lousy beer. Friends don't let friends drink Landshark.

Those posts were mostly early on, and he has finally come around. He's gotten MUCH better and now our kitchen is totally free from stuff that makes me sick, aside from the beer and an emergency can of raviolis for the toddler. It took me getting VERY sick and him not being able to deny that it was something that we all ate. But now he understands a LOT better and he is much more cognizant. You do raise a good point though, just because there isn't a reaction, it doesn't mean there isn't one that I am not aware of. We just ordered some Redbridge to try so hopefully that quells my love of beer.

Greens is a gluten-free Belgian beer. A bit pricey but good stuff if you like the heavy beers. I think Whole Foods carries Greens. It is sold by the bottle, not in a 6 pack.

There is also a gluten-free beer called Bard's Tale, but I haven't tried that or seen it sold anywhere.

I drink the redbridge, by buweiser. It is good but full of calories. Anything else I should try?

All gluten-free beers have the calories.

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy. Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped. It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition. Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here. Malnutrition...

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well. I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given...

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped.  It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition.  Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here.  Malnutrition can cause SIBO, and SIBO can worsen malnutrition. Another possibility is side effects from any medication that are taking.  I was on Metformin 3 months before it turned me into a zombi.  I had crippling side effects from most of the BP meds tried on me, and Losartan has many of the side effects on me from my pre gluten free days. Because you have been gluten free, you can test and talk until you are blue in the face but all of your tests will be negative.  Without gluten, you will not create the antigen against gluten, no antigens to gluten, so no small intestine damage from the antigens.  You will need to do a gluten challange to test positive if you need an official diagnosis, and even then, no guaranty: 10 g of gluten per day for 6 weeks! Then a full panel of Celiac tests and biopsy. At a minimum consider vitamin D, Liquid Iodine (unless you have dermatitis herpetiformis and iodine exasperates the rash), and Liquid Geritol. Push for vitamin D testing and a consult with a nutritionist experienced with Celiack Disease.  Most blood tests don't indicate nutritional deficiencies.  Your thyroid tests can be perfect, yet not indicate iodine deficiency for example.  Thiamine   test fine, but not pick up on beriberi.  Vegans are often B12 deficient because meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy are the primary souces of B12. Here is what I take daily.  10,000 IU vitamin D3 750 mg g a b a [   ] 200 mg CoQ10 [   ] 100 mg DHEA [   ] 250 mg thiamine B1 [   ] 100 mg of B2 [   ] 500 mg B5 pantothenic acid [   ] 100 mg B6 [   ] 1000 micrograms B12 n [   ] 500 mg vitamin c [   ] 500 mg taurine [   ] 200 mg selenium

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.
