I just found out from my doctor that I might have a mild form celiac disease but I still have to see a gastroenterologist ASAP. I just graduated from college and really enjoy to have a couple beers after work and on the weekends when out with friends. I know it probably depends on each individual person and how much gluten a particular beer contains but does anyone know if you can have 2 or 3 beers, at least 5% alcohol by volume, each night and still be able to manage the symptoms of celiac.

Thanks!

Not unless they are gluten free beers, of which there are several including Redbridge.

Tolerances for traces of gluten varies among celiacs, but beer has WAY too much gluten for anyone with celiac disease. Barley is every bit as poisonous to your body as wheat. Malt liquor and the malt alcohol in some coolers is also a problem. As Mushroom says, there is gluten-free beer on the market now including Redbridge and Green's. You can also have wine, hard cider, or distilled spirits.

Also, "mild" celiac is a misnomer. Celiac disease is progressive as long as you keep eating even small amounts of gluten.

Even if you can ingest gluten now without feeling any effects, you'll be setting yourself up for MAJOR issues in your future. A few beers now could lead to all kinds of nutritional deficiencies, infertility, or malignant cancers.

Better to just stick with wine. Or tequila.

This is really important. You risk a lot by consuming even small amounts. How much you say? Well read my signature and a few others. :D

Margaritas can be festive and celiac friendly...my friends like having me at their house parties because my husband designates himself margarita mixer(to insure things stay gluten-free) and he makes some very good margaritas...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By RMJ · Posted

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
