I had one of these offered to me yesterday. But did not know any thing about them. So has any one out there tried Hornsby's Hard Apple Cider? Is it safe to drink? Looking on line I see there are other brands also. So is there any other brands of hard ciders that are save to drink also.

Thank you,

Grump

Almost all hard ciders are safe. Strongbow, Woodchuck, etc. If you want a really nice one, go after JK's Scrumpy Organic Hard Apple Cider. Its got vanilla and maple syrup. They sell it at Whole Foods if you live near one. Great stuff.

Last time I looked, Hornsby's, Woodchuck, Magner's, Strongbow, Wyder's and Blackthorn were all gluten-free. I'm pretty sure I've seen other safe brands; those are the ones that spring to mind. There is a rumor that some brewers add malt to hard cider, but I have yet to see a cider with malt in it so it must be pretty unusual.

Hornsby is the only cider I have ever seen listed as not safe for us. Whether that was right or not I don't know. I did ask on their website and will post when they reply.

I did find a phone number for them 877-467-6729 I'll try to call them later and see what they say.

I do know Woodchuck cider is safe, that is the one I usually drink.

I thought that Hornsby's was the not safe brand as well. I'll second the recommendation for JK Scrumpy's, that stuff is amazing.

I switched to ciders from beer after being diagnosed. I drink Hornsby's and Woodchuck primarily and have never had a problem with either.

I got a reply from Hornsby's stating that it tests out at less than 20 ppm. The same sort of response we get from Rice Dream. Since I am very sensitive I will pass and stick with the Woodchuck.

I drink this very occasionally because it gives me terrible heartburn. Has a good buzz and flavor... but Woodcock Green Apple is better. Still gives me heartburn though. I think my GERD is stirred up by apple juice.

That's good to know, Raven. I'll stick to my Strongbow and Magner's then. No questionable ingredients.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By oyea · Posted

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.
