Hornsby's Hard Apple Cider


GRUMP 1

Recommended Posts

GRUMP 1 Contributor

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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
