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?

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      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

      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.
