Cider - Does It Effect You?

Hi,

New member of the forum and a ceoliac for about two years now.

Before I found out I was intolerant to Gluten I was a big lager drinker, so after being diagnosed there was only one way I was going, to drink Pints of Cider. But my problem is I find that drinking it causes memory loss, and hangovers from hell. Does any one else get this?? Or should I just accept the fact that maybe Cider is not for me??

Any comments would be greatly welcomed.

Which brand are you drinking? Not all ciders are gluten-free.

Most major brands of cider are gluten-free, including Strongbow, Magner's, Blackthorn, and Woodpecker, but you may be consuming more alcohol than you intend. ;) Cider can be a bit stronger than lager. If it's a locally brewed cider, be sure they haven't added any malt.

This is going to sound crazy coming from Kentucky, but what exactly is cider that you buy at a store?

You may know it as Applejack or Hard Cider. It is apple cider that has been fermented to make it alcoholic.

Well that just strikes me funny. I didn't know that sold that stuff on purpose! I've seen jugs of apple cider and heard people say, "that done turned hard", but I didn't know they sold it in the store! To us, it's garbage!

Im going to see if I can find it in town, is it good?

Funny, today I added apple juice to my food list and did fine on it.

I miss good, fresh-squeezed apple cider from living back east. You can't hardly find it here in California.

I was drinking hard cider before I was gluten-free. Love the stuff! I usually have to go to a liquor store to find the brands I like best, Blackthorn or Magner's. It's not sweet like applejuice, a little fizzy, and it has a nice kick to it. ;) English and Irish pubs often have it on tap too.

Hi,

Just Strongbow, I find Magners too sweet for me and Bullmers is the same. As no one else seem to have a problem I think I need to find an alternative when down the pu, thanks all :)

Strongbow is definitely gluten-free. Could you maybe have a problem with the yeast or the fructose?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
