I liked heavier beers in my previous life. I like Redbridge. Its light and like all gluten-free beers, a bit sweet. It is not as sweet as New Grist. Bard's is another beer that is in a lot of the country. You can check on Anheiser Busch (spelling?) website to see where it is sold. If you haven't had a regular beer in a while, these taste better. :)

Also, don't judge on the first sip. Sometimes things taste different then we expect, not bad, but different.

The funny thing about this beer is that it actually tastes better very very cold right from the bottle rather than pouring it into a glass or even a frosty mug. I found I didn't really care for it and have changed to Hard Cider... I really like the Hornsby's brand. It gives me the sames giggles.... and tastes better than the Redbridge.

I really prefer Bard's to Redbridge. I really love the dark beers, though. The tasty, bitter ones. :-)

I love Redbridge in my recipes, it makes excellent fish batter, barbecue ribs, and I created a pizza crust that I think the beer makes it taste more like real pizza crust. Drinking it however, my hubby likes it, me not so much.

Oooh! Beer Pizza Crust. Kathy do you have a recipe that you could post? That sounds fabulous. :)

I have had New Grist, Bard's, and Open Original Shared Link

As a Stout and Porter kinda gal I prefer Green's because they have a line of dark beers. I used to have a rule that if I could see through the bottle, any light at all, I wouldn't drink the beer because it made me nauseous.

I now know why.

I can drink gluten-free beer just fine regardless of how much light flows through. ;)

Haven't tried Redbridge...mostly because I'm a Wisconsin girl ;) New Grist is local. :)

I do like Red Bridge, but I first tasted it after two years with NO beer. That may have an effect!

I really prefer Bards. To me it tastes similar to my memory of Anchor Steam, which I loved. Unfortunately, Bards is not available here, so I am happy with Red Bridge... sometimes VERY happy!

Yeah ... I mostly gave up on beer and drink wine, which I luckily also like. Bard's is a little expensive for me, and Yinpu is cheap but tastes a little odd.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
