Redbridge is gluten-free so it shouldn't be gluten causing the problem. Even if there's a small amount of contamination, it would be so incredibly tiny there's be now way in heck to measure it. I've had Redbridge, New Grist, Bards and Greens with no problem. Also had hard cider.

I've managed to get my hands on Redbridge, Bards, and some of the Ciders. Redbridge is ok, but still doesn't really taste like beer to me. Bards really, really sucks! The ciders are decent, so long as you are expecting a sweet taste and not a beer taste. The first time I had one, expecting BEER, I couldn't even finish my bottle (my wonderful beer-loving -- to put it mildly -- husband had to finish it), but the next time it tasted fine and since I've really learned to love it. I have a (almost $7!) bottle of Green's sitting in the fridge now, but haven't tried it yet.

Yes, Redbridge does not bother me either. If you can stand the taste.

Bards has been ok for me as well.

Dont know Greens. Will have to try it, as all of them taste like you know what.

I miss real beer...

I'm with you! I think the Redbridge was hands down better than the Bards, but neither were really BEER! Maybe I'll go try the $6+ bottle of Greens I have in the fridge and give you a report on it.

We have one called O'Brien's but I haven't found it in town yet even after the search told me there are 3 outlets that sell it. I want to see if it's ok because when my LO is 18 I want her to be able to have a low-alcohol drink. I'm a beer drinker myself and can have a few before I'm over the limit but I never have enough to be over the limit anyway. I want the same for her.

Greens is quite enjoyable! I am not a fan of Redbridge or Bards, but I will drink them if I must. lol. I love Magner's cider!

Oh, I wish I could find Magner's Cider near my house. That's all I drank when I was on my honeymoon in Ireland. They called it Bulmer's in the Republic of Ireland and Mangers in Northern Ireland but it was the same cider. For a while I could get Hornsby's Cider at the local Kroger but I guess I was the only buying it, so they stopped carrying it. Woodchuck is okay, but not nearly as good as Magner's.

I like the New Grist. If you were a fan of Leinie's before pre-gluten-free, this is probably as close as you'll come to a similar product. I used to buy Red Bridge because it was the cheapest on the shelves of the stores in my hometown, but then they bumped up the price about $1 and dropped New Grist by about the same... Haven't bought Red Bridge since.

You are all so lucky to have a choice. Mississippi has such wierd laws about alcohol that Red Bridge is all that is available. You know how that goes...if it's all you can have , it's pretty good.

fourlisa,

I see that you are a new member. Does that mean that you are new to gluten free as well? If so, the alcohol (or some other component in the beer) may just be a little too much for your system at the moment. You might want to give yourself a little more time.

That being said. I personally like the hard ciders . . . and there is always wine :rolleyes:

I have to agree w/ Darn, it may be too soon and also you may be CC from something else. I'm a beer drinker as well, I found the Red Bridge the best (have tried Bard's - too many flavors w/ each sip and bitter, Grist too light and a lime after taste). Those 3 are the only ones available in Long Island. My son was home last week and he brought the Cider, great flavor but goes down like candy. I find I can't tolerate wine @ this time, I'm only 3 &1/2 weeks free.

I would give it a few days rest and carefully watch your diet make sure you have no CC when, your feeling well then I would try the Red Bridge again. Good Luck. If you find beer in a can let me know as we can't bring bottles into a Nascar race.

Have to ask all ya beer fans what do you pay for a (24) case? $32 + tax and deposit in NY.

My favorite gluten-free beer is New Planet - out of Colorado but they started carrying it in Oklahoma in the last few months. That is my first choice now for a beer, with Green's beers as a second choice. My local liquor store now has a shelf of a half-dozen different gluten-free beers now.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
