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.

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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
