Gluten removed beers are not gluten free nor are they safe for celiacs.  About 6 months after I was diagnosed I was given one of these beers...I didn't know then what I know now.  I wanted to die that night.  I spent so much time on the crapper I just slept on the bathroom floor.  It took me 2 weeks to work through the rest of the symptoms.  Brain fog, fatigue, nausea, bloating, joint pain...it was horrible.  Don't do it!

That sounds horrible! I just stay away from beer, period. Had tried a mouthful of redbridge ages ago and spit it out, tasted so bad. I've just gotten out of the habit of drinking completely.

I finally caved and tried Daura 2 weeks ago. I miss beer like crazy, and now that summer is here I was really craving a cold 'normal tasting' beer.

Andddddd...got glutened.

As much as I wanted to believe it was celiac safe it definitely (and very sadly) is not. 

I read many online threads to weigh the risk before trying it out and there were reports of some celiacs having no reaction - I really think the people who don't react to it are the less sensitive ones (or asymptomatic ones) but the gluten is likely damaging them internally.

I'm gonna stick to Bard's, Nickel Brook, and my new fav - Schnitzer Brau. All do the trick and are available in Toronto!

Thx so much Cycling lady, I appreciate your feedback!. My issue is that I don't have GI issues, just weight loss and low iron. I understand low iron takes ages to fix (I'm on prescription iron) What do you mean each person has to determine what is safe or not. How can I tell? I drank the beer initially and no symptoms but I'm sure my Villi are suffering if this beer isn't good for me. I have stopped drinking it, but concerned about other things. This is one tough disease. People ask me if I'm dairy intolerant, how do I know? I'm worrying about what I don"t know.

On a gluten-free diet, my low iron resolved within months with supplementation.    I would ask your doctor to re-check your ferritin levels and antibodies at the three month mark since you can not judge by symptoms.  I would also ask for a bone scan.  I fractured two vertebrae doing NOTHING two months into my celiac disease diagnosis.  Found out I had osteoporosis.  

I would think that if you were dairy intolerant, you would experience all the classic symptoms of gas, bloating, etc.  If you are not, I would not worry about dairy.  Not all celiacs are dairy intolerant.   Go eat some cheese!

I used to drink Guinness, sometimes a half-n-half over Harp or Bass. I call Sam Adams a good light beer, and probably gave up on Budwiper and the like 30 years ago. So while it is nice to find companies making lots of "Yeah, that almost tastes like cheapo beer"....There's not a one of them that can touch Sam Adams, let alone Guinness. (Yeah, I know, I shouldn't call them all "beer" but then again, I'm a barbarian.)

Haven't found any commercially made mead, that's beer's grandpa, and IT is gluten free. No wheat, barley, or hops involved.

Redbridge...well...it almost tastes like Bud as I remember it. I give AB kudos just for trying, even if they don't know what beer is.(G)

New Grist from Lakefront Brewery is CERTIFIED gluten free.  Leave the Omission alone if you are celiac. Made me ill.  Watch out if you take a cruise.  The ship I am getting ready to cruise on carries Daura Damm and it sounds too much like the Omission process.  Too bad they won’t let me bring my own.

I had this beer at a German Restaurant in Sanford, FL. I am gluten intolerant and react badly to even small mistakes at restaurants, total system flush and about a week to normal again. I had no reaction at all to this beer. In fact I am looking for a source near me at the moment. It had great flavor and I would love to find some near me.

Was this German beer gluten-free or gluten removed? If not I would not use a gut test to determine it’s safety, as this can be misleading.

I just returned from Spain where this product is made and it is labeled as Gluten Low; i.e. not free.

It is marked gluten free where I buy it. Their website also says so. It is another thing that even foods that are marked gluten free are not always totally gluten free, ie. in the EU, if I am not mistaken, 20 ppm is allowed. Daura website says their gluten free beer contains less than 3 ppm. I drink it occasionally but to each his own.

Had two glasses tonite with dinner and loved it but I didnt realize that it was made with barley. Im assuming its safe since they tested it on severe celiacs but wanted to get some feedback. I dont think i developed any symptoms from it but then again i never really know when i get glutened anyway

Definitely not gluten free. My stomach is now hurting and swollen after one bottle.

Daura Damm, in the green bottle, is the best gluten reduced beer I have ever had.  It also has a respectable 6.6 alcohol content.  I order a case at a time from the local Total Wine store.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
