gluten-free Beer- Puzzled

Many of u probably heard of the new Daura gluten free beer. anyway, i tried it last night and had a euphoric experience cause i forgot how much i loved beer. however, when i got back to my hotel room an hr later i felt pins and needles in my arms and legs and also felt like my circulation was being cut off. i slept for 3 hrs and woke up at 3 and couldnt fall back asleep cause i had a headache and felt lousy. this beer is supposed to contain less than 6 ppm of gluten so how could i have possibly reacted to this? i eat out all the time and while im careful im sure i get hit with trace amts of gluten here and there...its unavoidable but i never felt as poorly as i did last night.

on my allergy test i tested high positive for barley so is there a chance i was reacting to the barley and not necessarily the gluten? whats the deal...this beer is being marketed to people with celiac and many restaurants are carrying it now. the site even said it was tested on people with the most severe for of celiac and they were fine.

please enlighten me

You're allergic to barley and you drank beer made of barley.... :blink:

You're still allergic to barley.

This has been another simple answer to simple questions.

I personally, do not try to consume things that I know I am allergic to or have an auto immune reaction to, despite the assurances of the manufacturer that is will "be okay." But that's just little ole cynical me, who doesn't intend to die from one of those bad reactions.

Congrats you've probably saved a few more people from getting sick.

You did good. B)

All this internet chatter about the new gluten-free Daura beer and here we find out that the stuff is made of barley.

Read the link. One person said it tasted like Stoh's. :lol: :lol: :lol: Must be the "imported from Spain" that's the marketing hook.

Thanks for letting us know you did react to it. You may have saved some of us who would have been tempted to try from the pain.

Well... I'm not sure how something made from barley could be on anyone's "gluten free" list. Barley contains gluten!

If you want a truly gluten free beer try one of the sorghum ones. Redbridge is the only one I've tried so far and I liked it, especially when it was nice and cold. I know there are a couple of others also, but I haven't found them yet to try.

Is this the one that is made from barley and claims to have the gluten removed? Sounds fishy to me?

Although, I do drink distilled vodka.

Thank you Jason for the warning about Daura. And thanks Monkeylady for the recommendation. :)

Fruit ciders are another good substitute for beer. I know that Magner's Hard Cider is made from apples and is really good. Pear ciders are very nice, as well. Not all brands are gluten-free, so make sure to research beforehand... however, it seems more are than not.

That's nice to know about the "gluten-free" beer. I shall make sure to avoid it.

Hard cider (like Magner's), hard liquor, and truly gluten free beer (like RedBridge) is all I need! I can't believe something made with barley is still being toted as gluten free. Talk about a lawsuit waiting to happen!

Just wanted to put a plug in for New Grist and Greene's Dark. Both are very tasty. Bards is good too, in fact I have yet to find a gluten-free beer I don't like... something about how they don't upset my stomach like gluten beer... :lol: but I think I'll stay clear of the unfortunately named Daura. ;)

Man this is a tough crowd. One person thinks they reacted to a gluten-free product and everyone's ready to dump on it. There's someone out there that thinks they react to gluten-free Corn Chex too. That doesn't stop me from eating it.

I can't wait to try this beer made from Barley. Maybe it actually tastes like real beer, the sourghum beer is awful. If they say they remove the gluten, I'll just have to see for myself.

best regards, lm

Different folks have different tolerance levels. As always the choice is an individual one. You may tolerate it just fine. Myself I simply prefer not to risk items that are 'processed to be gluten free'. When you do find it I hope it works for you. I agree the sorghum beers are not great that's why I go with ciders or rum and pepsi usually.

Well for me -- when I look at the ingredients of Corn Chex and see "corn" then I feel much more confident that if I look at beer and it's made from "barley." Since barley contains gluten and corn does not. So I'm not going to feel confident in barley beer. Simple as that.

You do what you feel is best for you. I opt for sorghum beer or cider or wine or a gin and tonic or one of many other options that are available should I want some alcohol, options that are not naturally gluten-containing.

Well, they deglutenize it down to 6 ppm (way lower than the EU standards for gluten free) but I imagine other fragments of barley other than the gluten might affect someone allergic to barley.

I tried it last week and was so excited. No problem whatsoever (and I get a little bloated from sorghum beer- I think I have a bit of a sorghum intolerance because it happens from every brand). If I accidentally have wheat I'm in excruciating pain in the fetal position and 6 parts per million didn't affect me that way at all, FWIW. YMMV and all that. :D

Did you see for yourself? I tried that. I got wretchedly sick. Definitely glutened by Daura Beer. It's extremely obvious when I am glutened... did you react?

Me, too. I will never, ever touch Daura Beer again. Definitely glutened.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
