was wondering how other people tolerate beer. I myself seem to not have a problem with it. I was never diagnosed with celiac disease I am Gluten intolerant. The most testing I ever got done was a blood test while I was on a strict gluten free diet. I also suspect my son son ( 22 months) is also gluten intolerant and he is definitely lactose intolerant. My older brother is also gluten intolerant.

I may be wrong but wouldn't getting the blood test while following the gluten free diet give you a bad result? Or that could be the scope of the intestine. I am sure someone else can offer an opinion.

There are gluten free beers out there so you can still have beer and avoid the gluten.

Red Bridge, Bards, Greens, New Grist etc

Yes i think that being on a gluten free diet would give a false result thats why I mentioned it. Just wondering how others that are gluten intolerant/celiac tolerated beer?

Well, I can only comment from a celiac disease perspective. If you have celiac disease you can't have mainstream beer so I don't think you will get many replys.

I admit I don't know if gluten intolerant means you can have it occasionally. If that is that case then maybe someone will reposnd.

Beer definitely has gluten in it; if you are trying to be strictly gluten-free you should switch to a gluten-free formulated one like Redbridge, or New Grist or Green's or Bard's. Or Wine or some other drink. Even if you don't react to something, it may be doing damage.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically...

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide). My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because...

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!
