It doesn't really work that way, if one has a gluten problem, one needs to avoid it all together.

However, I have just found a great gluten-free beer company. Have you tried New Planet? It really tastes like real beer. They are award wining and have three flavors.

I like New Planet, too. They are only in a few states right now - the ones around Colorado where it is made. They are working on the permits needed to sell in more states.

There is really no difference between low gluten & lots of gluten... If you're going to poison yourself it really doesn't matter how much poison you take! BevMo has some great gluten free beers, I think my favorite so far is Red Sail.

Gotta vote against the New Planet. I wanted to like it, really I did. Unfortunately it's costs more than Spaten, and it's about on the same level as gluten free "bread".

Learn to like wine.

Have you tried New Planets Pale Ale? Hubby thinks that one taste the best out of their flavors. Close to real thing. We do agree about price though :(

I do have to admit that when someone said on the board a long time ago that Bud Light was low enough to not effect us I did try one. Boy did it taste good as I was a big fan of beer prediagnosis and the sorghum beers to me taste nasty. Result was not pretty. I might as well have had a piece of cake or some phyllo. Just not worth it.

You have to keep in mind that celiac is autoimmune and it takes very, very little gluten to start the autoimmune action.

As someone else mentioned I now do wine mixed with soda when I want something refreshing on a hot day.

You're in the right place. Should have just explained better. We have people who have doctors, dieticians & mother-in-laws tell them "a little won't hurt them". :o

You should probably stay gluten-full until you get your blood tested. Celiac is genetic.

With a kid with Celiac, you will probably be eating gluten light or gluten free at home. Just makes it easier.

I had one of the tests(not sure what one I am getting a physical in a month and will find out which one) and it was negative for any gluten issue. once I figure out how to use this website I will setup a signature. I can not find the CP.......I have about 20,000 posts on the "Auto forums" so I am sure I will figure this one out......thx again for the help

You have found one of the best sites there is for info. Before you go gluten light please do get at least a celiac panel done. All first degree relatives of someone diagnosed is advised to do so even if they don't seem to have the typical celiac symptoms. Celiac is genetic and it is common for there to be more than one in a family and with the different presentations that are found with celiac even if you don't have tummy troubles it needs to be ruled out.

Yep AB makes Red Bridge. Its actually really good. Gluten Free made from sorghum.

I live in STL (home of AB) and can get it and almost in grocery store.

There is another called New Grist that is really good also, but harder to find for me.

Its only in a handfull of upscale eating places that I know of around me.

Also, Mike's Hard Lemonade is claiming gluten-free now. Not sure but I drank one the other day when they changed the label

and didn't feel sick at all.

And Woodchuck cider is gluten-free.

Just some other options.

I agree about Redbridge! I drink it all the time, and they have it at our new Twins Stadium here in Minnesota! I was so excited, I ordered two as they are only at a few locations around the stadium. I had been drinking them out of the bottle the whole time, and at the game they poured them into a cup. They tasted like real beer!! I actually had three of the people I was with taste it as I was positive I got real beer. Lol...maybe for people who don't like it, they should pour it into a glass!...or maybe after two years of gluten-free my taste buds are playing tricks on me.

Woodchuck is always yummy :)

As for regular beers that are lower gluten (if that's what you end wanting because you don't have celiac), I don't think most of us know what they are. But definitely stay away from any beer that uses wheat.

I have a friend who eats reduced gluten. She's more sensitive to lectins than traces of gluten. She tolerates light colored beers like Heineken or Corona. I imagine she could drink Bud or Miller but why? LOL! She does not drink stout beers or nut brown ales. They seem to disagree with her.

MANY OF US NON-CELIACS ARE ON NO GLUTEN, EXCEPT TRYING TO BE ON VERY LOW GLUTEN FREE BEERS. GLUTEN FREE BEERS TASTE LIKE LIQUID CARDBOARD.

SO WHAT IS THE GLUTEN CONTENT (PPM) TO MEXICAN BEERS??

I HAVE READ THAT CORONA EXTRA OS 10 PPM, BUT WHAT ABOUT CORONA LIGHT OT NEGRA MODELO??

DO YOU HAVE A WEB PAGE TO CHECK??

 

THANK YOU PC

I read somewhere in the past that some of the testing they use for gluten does not accurately test levels of barley gluten.  So the beers made with barley can test low in gluten because the testing doesn't really work for barley.  Elisa test is the one they said is bad I think.  It works for wheat protein, but not barley protein.  So without proper testing, the PPM levels don't mean anything.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
