But i drank bud light or blue light- Does anyone on here know what this tastes close to? I would appreciate it- Not that i have even seen it in my area but im really good at hunting gluten free stuff down lol.

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 also was wondering if anyone is from the north east if/where they sell new grist around here i tried the locator on the website but i was unavailable. I hear thats more like a lite beer?

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!

Emilushka Contributor

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.

Redbridge is my favorite...and in my opinion New Grist is horrible....i had one sip and poured it down the drain. very bitter and almost sour! ewe ;0

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated.  This includes gluten-free bread.  You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly.  Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well.  Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings.  Nightshade vegetables (eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) are excluded.  They contain alkaloids that promote a leaky gut and inflammation.  Dairy and eggs are also eliminated.   I know it sounds really stark, but eating this way really improved my health.  The AIP diet can be low in nutrients, and, with malabsorption, it's important to supplement vitamins and minerals.

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back.  My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time.  But I passed on them. 
    • klmgarland
      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.
