Thanks for the warning. I'll be noting the name of this product so I can be sure to avoid it. I am not someone who considers stuff that has 'the gluten processed out' to be safe. It may be fine for others but the 'gluten processed out' products generally make me ill. Stuff prepared on shared lines that CC us sensitive folks would also test below the allowed limit. I hope this company at least lets folks know in the ingredients that barley is present.

Hope I can find it here in Virginia! Thanks! There are some other barley based gluten free beers in Europe. Hope they begin to distribute too.

Thanks Willow, I do drink Redbridge, I'll be picking up a six tonight after class. I have tried Green's, the dark one, but it was just not to my liking. I'll have to see if they have the pale ale that may be more to my taste.

Where can I find Green's and/or Bard's Tale? I've tried Red Bridge, but I find it too close to what I call "American Pisswater" since in my latter years I was raised by beer snobby Morris Dancers. :) I heard from a cousin of mine that Bard's Tale is good, but I don't know where to find it. (He's not gluten-free, he just liked the name.) I'm in Central Illinois, but I'll be moving to Omaha, NE in 2.5 weeks. I can wait 3 weeks to get a beer. ;)

Bard's Tale used to do on line ordering but I don't know if they still do. Don't know about Greens though.

What is safe? - I think I'm safer with a beer that's tested with 6ppm than untested gluten free products that no doubt could be way up at 20ppm! - I don't care what the ingredient is, I care about the ppm, that's what counts isn't it? The standards in N.America are terrible, gluten free means nothing as products can be packed in a factory that also packs wheat products. I don't think many supposedly gluten free baking supplies are as low as 6ppm, but I wish they were! More testing, thorough testing is the only way to guarantee anything. If you have a problem with 6ppm then you'll have a problem with almost all gluten free products.

If only I could get a gluten-free beer that taste like "American Pisswater", I'd be as happy as a pig in slop. Have never been a beer expert, just give me a MGD, or Coors, or Michelobe. My favorite though, was Dos Equis Amber, not the green. Had just enough taste without being too strong, or having a terrible aftertaste, like Corona. You know it's bad when you have to put a lime in it to drink it.

Now if I was in a place where they had lots of beers on tap, that was a different story. Stronger beer is much better when it's Draft. Plus it's fun to try various offerings say at a microbrewery.

To me, Redbridge tastes nothing like American beer. Just don't like the flavor. The new formulation is better though. Luckily, Tequila's my passion. All tequila is naturally gluten-free.

best regards, lm

I think this is the beer I tried when I was back in the UK and it's the best gluten free beer I ever tasted! - it tastes like regular beer and I hope that it gets rolled out in Canada too, I'd definitely buy it. Wow a beer that tastes good and doesn't give me stomach pains, heaven!

Hee hee, that's hilarious but so true! A lot of gluten-free beers are just too sweet for me. I've decided that redbridge and New Grist are my top two. Have you tried St. Peters Sorgam Ale? It's my very favorite, it's drier and a lot hoppier than the gluten-free beers out there. (PS, this isn't my blog, I'm just using it for reference: Open Original Shared Link)

I can't wait to try the Estrella Damm. On another note, I've told my husband that if a brewer doesn't make me a gluten-free stout soon I'm going to have to try making one myself!

One thing you may want to try are ciders, not the candy-a$$ stuff like Woodchuck, but hardcore like Strongbow or Woodpecker or anything from the UK. They are dry and not very sweet. My fave is from Ireland, it's called Magners. I have to drive to Wisconsin to get it, but I know a guy. ;)

I tend to agree with what you say about the fact that at least you know how much gluten is in the beer but I do not think the "unknowns" or companies who label and sell to the gluten free public have products loaded with hidden gluten. I think this is far overplayed. You will always have the exceptions because we see this often with regards to other foods and those contaminated with salmonella, etc. It happens but if all the gluten free food out there is so contaminated or has higher levels of gluten than what is assumed, there would be many sick and angry Celiacs out there....myself included. I do not eat a large amount of processed foods but I do eat some and the amount of times I have gotten sick from them has been miniscule. I am pretty damn sensitive as far as the Celiac goes and I just wouldn't be this healthy if a large amount of the labeled gluten-free stuff were running at 10 ppm. I think the vast majority of people who think this have other food intolerances and allergies they are not factoring in.

Supposedly, it is. On the forums, some people say they reacted, some didn't. I definitely, definitely did. Take your own chances, I suppose (though I certainly won't be doing that again).

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
