    Celiac.com 04/01/2022 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers. 

    Specifically, is Dos Equis gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is NO, Dos Equis is not gluten-free, and is not recommended for people with celiac disease.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The longer answer is that Dos Equis contain the following ingredients: water, corn/starch, malted barley, yeast, ascorbic acid, and hops. 

    Because Dos Equis contains malted barley, it is not gluten-free, and so not recommended for people with celiac disease.

    In fact, Dos Equis appears on our List of Non-Gluten-Free Mexican Beers.

    Here's a more expansive List of Non-Gluten-Free Beers

    If you're looking for a gluten-free beer, then try one of the many gluten-free or gluten-removed beers on the market. Get started with this List of Gluten-Free and Gluten-Removed Beers.

    Oktoberfest Beer Guide! Gluten-free vs. Gluten-removed Beers
    Celiac.com 10/14/2016 - It's almost October, and that means beer, or, at least it means Oktoberfest is near. And in so many ways, gluten-free beer lovers have never had it better, with dozens of selections now available commercially, and more on the way every month, it seems.
    So grab a beer, and celebrate Oktoberfest. But before we get to the list of beer purveyors, let's quickly review some basics of gluten-free versus gluten removed.
    Naturally Gluten-free Beers—Naturally gluten-free beers are made with all gluten-free source ingredients, and use grains like sorghum instead of barley. This is important to many people, especially those with high sensitivity, or the belief that gluten-removed beers may trigger celiac-related problems.
    Pros: Guaranteed gluten-free from start t...

    Somebody Finally Tested Celiac Reactions to Gluten-free, Gluten-removed, and Regular Beers
    Celiac.com 02/28/2017 - A number of commercial brewers are opting to use enzymatic digestion, or hydrolysis, for treating gluten-containing foods and beverages to make them safe for people with gluten sensitivity, including those with celiac disease. However, some have questioned whether the process is safe for all people with celiac disease, as some celiacs complain that they experience gluten sensitivity when they drink these beers.
    Currently, there are no validated testing methods for quantifying levels of hydrolyzed or fermented gluten peptides in foods and beverages that might be harmful to celiac patients. This makes it difficult to determine the safety of hydrolyzed products for people with celiac disease.
    Some researchers finally tested the clinical response by celiac...

    List of Gluten-Free and Non-Gluten-Free Mexican Beers
    Celiac.com 05/26/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Mexican beers. Specifically, which Mexican beers are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Currently, the list of gluten-free Mexican beers is empty, as there are currently no major brands of Mexican beers that are brewed to be gluten-free or gluten-removed. All traditionally brewed Mexican beers contain gluten ingredients, and are not gluten-free.

    A List of Non-Gluten-Free Beers

    We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers. Specifically, what beers are NOT gluten-free and unsafe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is that nearly every commercially available beer on the market is made with barley, which contains gluten, so unless special enzymes and filtering are used during the brewing process to render them gluten-free, would not be gluten-free. 
    We've written about gluten-free and gluten-removed beers. We've also written about individual non-gluten-free beers, such as Budweiser, but here's an attempt too list as many non-gluten-fre...

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten. You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease. Zinc is also a common defiency. Its an antiviral. that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses. Vitamin D and the Immune System+ ...

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing has stepped up a notch since diagnosis. Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out. Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes...
