Hello, Surfing the web I found that Briess sells a malted extract syrup made from sorghum. Supposedly it can be used as a 1:1 replacement for barley malt extract in beer recipes. Has anyone tried this material and if so can you recommend a recipe? Regards, Wayne

Hi, Just bought a six-pack of Redbridge from Wild Oats in Portland, ME. At $8.29 per pack, it is still expensive beer, not much cheaper than Bard's. It taste better than Bard's IMO. Bard's has too much of a "syrup" taste for me. I hope all the gluten-free beer suppliers will start to force the prices down. Wayne

I recently read on the web that Anheuser Busch is coming out with a gluten-free beer called "Red Bridge Sorghum" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if this beer is available in Maine or New Hampshire? : -Finnish Brewery Makes World's First Gluten-Free Malt Beer Finnish brewery Laitilan said it had made the world's first malt beer that does not contain gluten, a substance found in wheat and other grains that provokes a serious allergic reaction in millions of people around the world...

If a daily pill could be developed to counter celiac disease, that would be a major breakthrough. I would pay $50/month easy. That wouldn't be much to live a normal life. I am really surprised by some of the earlier replies. A pill would make my life easier as well as my spouse's. Travel would be easier on business trips and it would be great just...

Has anyone tried Amstel Light ? Any problems? I have noticed that Heineken USA has taken their "gluten-free" claim in the FAQ section off their website. Wayne

Does anyone know if 8th Continent soy milk is gluten-free ?? Tnx, Wayne (Mainer living in exile)

I have written three letters to Heineken asking to clarify their testing methods and have not received a response. My gut tells me that they tested for wheat gluten protein and not barley gluten protein. They don't use wheat in their beer and they tested for contamination of the wheat gluten protein and found only 5 ppm and thus concluded they are gluten...

I recently read that Codex ratings for gluten-free products is gluten content of <20 ppm OR that total nitrogen content is less than .05g/100g on a dry basis. There may not be a lot of dry solids in a beer after evaporation and with filtering of cold beer to clarify perhaps a good portion of the nitrogen containing peptides are removed. So if a...

I drink Yingpu Black Rice Beer a couple times a week with no ill effects. With gluten containing foods, I normally have stomach pain, swollen nasal passages, and red eyes. After drinking Yingpu, I never have any of these symptoms. This doesn't mean it is safe for celiacs. Yingpu is available in the Cleveland area. I don't know if Yingpu has any barley...

Too articles posted to Celiac.com may provide some direction (or add to the confusion) concerning gluten-free beer. The first teaches about hordein polypetide residues from beer made from barley and the second teaches that low levels of gluten may be tolerated by celiacs. The truth is probably somewhere in between but until there is definitive reseach showing...

Hello, Does anyone know if Heavenly Ham is gluten-free? Regards, Wayne

Hello, I am curious if anyone knows with certainty whether or not casein can damage intestine villi in a similar manner as gluten. I have heard that casein structure chemically is similar to gluten. One should not "cheat" with gluten containing foods but can one "cheat" with casein? I have casein sensitivity as well as gluten and casein only causes...
