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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
