Bard's Tale Beer Rocks!

I suppose I just thought that beer was never going to be something I ever tasted again when I was diagnosed.....I'm sure a lot of you have tried Bard's Tale Beer, but until today I hadn't! I didn't even know about it until last week! We live in a small town so we have to drive an hour and a half to find most gluten-free products. I had today off so I took the trip and visited the health food store and stopped by the liquor store on the way out of town. I didn't have high expectations for Bard's Tale.....(made with sorgum and not barley)....I was just hoping for something that resembled beer. It was GREAT!! Even my husband (non-celiac beer drinker) thought it was good. He even said he would drink it if it didn't cost $10 for a 6 pack! One of the few gluten-free products that I have found that really, truely taste like the original! My compliments to the brewers! Well...I think I'm going to go have a beer! Hehehehe :lol:

I have 5 Bard's in the fridge that I won't drink. 30 minutes after having one last night I got sick. Today the brain fog is back. I guess sorghum isn't for me.

I just found some of these at a local store last night, and it's AMAZING. Tastes very similar to how I remember Guiness tasting before I knew I was celiac...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:

      Thanks @trents. I have exchanged some messages with the clinic today, and they are saying that the reason there is no result for the total IgA levels is because I don't have any. Apparently a negative result means that it does not appear as a line on the results at all. I am not sure I buy this, but it is what they are telling me. I am leaning more towards the theory that they didn't test it in the first place. But, working on the basis that the test result was zero, I asked what the next steps would be, given that I apparently have no IgA antibodies. They have asked if I now want to have a tTG-IgG and a DGP-IgG test. Is this really the next step if I have no total IgA?
