    Celiac.com 07/15/2021 - 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 alcoholic seltzer, specifically, White Claw.

    White Claw is an alcoholic seltzer, and most alcoholic seltzers in the US are made by fermenting cane sugar, although sometimes malted barley is used. To make sure you get a gluten-free alcoholic seltzer, it's important to read labels.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     We recently did an article listing a number of top brands of gluten-free alcoholic seltzers, but the questions just keep coming, especially questions about certain top brands, even brands included on our list. We've already done a separate article on Bud Light Seltzer, which is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease.

    Most recently, we've gotten a number of questions about White Claw. So, in the interest of informing those folks, here it is.

    Is White Claw gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?  

    If made in the USA, then Yes, White Claw gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. According to the White Claw website, "White Claw‌ Hard Seltzer is made with naturally gluten-free ingredients." We've heard that in Canada malted barley can be used, so beware of Canadian made White Claw.

    Gluten-Free White Claw flavors include:

    • Black Cherry
    • Mango
    • Natural Lime
    • Ruby Grapefruit
    • Raspberry
    • Watermelon
    • Lemon
    • Tangerine
    • Pineapple
    • Clementine

    Hey Scott & Everyone else,

    Thank you for all the input & articles they really do help, especially for newly diagnosed people who are trying their best. I did read an article that you put out a while ago, about gluten free/safe drinks where you listed beers that are Brewed/Crafted to remove gluten (through an enzyme) as safe I believe? I was wondering if you had any insight on a beer called Omissions. The Golden Ale is one of my favorites since being diagnosed, but wanted to make sure it was safe for me to drink as I do still have those days where I feel I was glutened. I have done my research through google, but I see mixed reviews and "tests" people have done.

    Also, alot of people tell me Corona may not affect me but I am alittle skeptical on that as well. Any insight/recommendations would be amazing! I usually enjoy the basic light beer, like bud light.

    Hello, yes the White Claws are mostly gluten free, but careful,  in some location like Province of Québec,  Canada, they are made with Malt, but not the ones from Ontario. They have a gluten free sign on them.

    Having just read about White Claw's gluten-free status, I was truly mystified at its claim when the article said it was made with MALT.  Thank you for clarifying!

    My guess is somehow they removed or altered the gluten protein in the malt. There are other such products on the market that are made from gluten-containing grains but claim to be gluten free because they have supposedly removed the gluten and left just the starch component. This works okay for many celiacs but the more sensitive celiacs still can react to it. Apparently, they didn't get it all in the removal process but enough to qualify for the not more than 20ppm of gluten needed to qualify for the label claim.

    Gluten-Free Hard Seltzers Make a Splash on the Drinking Scene
    Celiac.com 03/26/2020 - Hard seltzers are the new drink on the scene, and many are gluten-free. Most of these products are brewed on premises by small breweries, and so not intended for mass consumption. So, brands like Stray Forth, and K4 may not be household names yet, but the market is thirsty enough to see a small explosion of hard seltzers in breweries around the country, especially in the midwest. You can experience the phenomenon in many small brew pubs across the nation, in places like Kinney Creek in Rochester, Minnesota.
    In addition to being gluten-free, hard ciders are lower alcohol than traditional beers, with fewer calories. They also come in novel flavors, like Root Beer, Citrus, Spicy Pineapple, Margarita, Strawberry Lemonade, and many more. The combination of novelty...

      Extreme bloating even gluten-free

      Some studies, with admittedly small sample sizes, show that about 50% of celiacs react to the protein casein in dairy the same way they do gluten. Can't find the NIH article I'm looking for but this one basically makes the point:

      Extreme bloating even gluten-free

      I was diagnosed in April. I have been very careful about being gluten-free, except for one accident in August where I ate candy with wheat. Despite being careful, I still experience extreme painful bloating almost daily. I'm so frustrated. I stopped eating gluten-free oats because I wondered if that was it. Now I am wondering if is dairy. I'm already tired...

      In general I'm all for a formal diagnosis, except in cases where someone gets very sick when they eat gluten, and have already been on a gluten-free diet for a long time and don't plan to eat it again anyway. There seems to be more drawbacks that keep popping up with being formally diagnosed--at least here in the USA. I can testify that it's definitely...

      Yes I figured out I couldn’t have gluten years ago when I was symptomatic and tested positive, but was misinformed and told I couldn’t have celiac but to go gluten free. I was already gluten free. I was never willing to go back on gluten and make myself so sick to have the biopsy especially when the biopsy isn’t 💯. But Now I have to have a procedure anyway a...
