Broward-Palm Beach New Times (blog)

Die-hard celiacs, people who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are often very careful with their diets and choose to maintain strictly gluten-free eating in order to stay healthy. Thus the majority wouldn't purchase low-gluten beer from the ...

Why doesn't the article divulge brand names? Right now, this offers no practical help for us, but I would love to know which beers tested positive for gluten.

I tried Redbridge beer last week for the first time and spent the evening doubled over in pain. Maybe it wasn't the beer, but I won't be drinking it again. It was my first attempt at a gluten free beer.

They tested 50 gluten beers, 8 gluten free beers and 2 low gluten beers. The 8 gluten-free beers tested fine, under 20ppm. the low gluten beers tested above.

What they found when testing the "low-gluten" beers is enough to cause health problems for people with gluten allergies. According to their report, the low-gluten beers contained just as much hordein as regular beers.

The title of the article is misleading.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you
