As a former student at Florida State, I miss tailgating before football games or watching football with beer and snacks. SO... what the heck beers can I drink? Bards beer isn't sold in FL...I heard a rumor that Rolling Rock is gluten-free and made from rice,anyone know what I can drink? I feel like an alki drinking a screwdriver at 10am, lol.

Bard's Tale is gluten-free, and not bad. They're out of production at the moment, but should be back to it by the end of the year.

Some of the hard ciders are gluten-free. You can search this message board for the exact ones. Its kind of like a beer.

Also, Ramapo Valley Brewery used to ship gluten-free beer made from honey. The website is Ramapovalleybrewery.com. You can contact them to see if they still ship. It was expensive when they did.

I doubt Rolling Rock is gluten-free. Never heard that one before and I've been dealing with C/D for 3 years.

i think cider is much better than gluten-free beer and it's much cheaper since you can get it at a lot of liquor stores (instead of shipping). hornsby's is the only cider that ISN'T gluten-free (at least last time i checked) that i know of.

strongbow, cider jack, woodpecker, wood chuck, K are all gluten-free

I know how you feel..... I almost cried when I had to go gluten-free and found out that Mott's Clamato Juice contained gluten. I LOVED my weekend Blood Caesars with a BBQ in the backyard......

(Bloody Caesar is a Canadian thing...... Vodka, clam juice, worshteshire sauce, tabasco sauce, celery salt) Best drink in the world, and I can't have it any longer!!!! (Sob, sob.... :( )

Oh well, now all I have is the odd glass of white wine - sorry, just doesn't cut it.... <_<

New Grist Beer is awesome! It is manufactured by land lakes. The webiste is www.newgrist.com. My husband just ordered this and received his shipment yesterday...he was very pleased with the taste, as was I. It's a bit pricey, but not any worse than a beer in a bar!

BEWARE If you're looking for a gluten-free beer that tastes like...beer - don't get the Ramapo Valley. It tastes more like a cider/honey wine. It is VERY sweet!

I found putting a lemon in the Ramapo Valley beer makes it taste better. Try it like that before you dismiss it.

Go to this site

www.lakefrontbrewery.com

Talk to the guys about bringing "New Grist" where you live

Then

Talk to Whole Foods or Wild Oats about the product

Then

Talk to a distributor in the area about getting it.

Repeat this several times with numerous emails.

Eventually they will succomb and bring you the sweet sweet beer.

It took me 3 months to accomplish it in Vegas, but I wore them down eventually.

If you are determined, it can work!

I tasted New Grist (thank you silent member for giving me a bottle). And I find that it tastes like real beer. I have already called the manager of Henry's Market (Wild Oats) and he is going to call Lakefront. He asked many of his gluten free customers about beer and they all wanted some. So, I am sure it will take a little time, but we will get it in Mesa.

I drink the Woodchuck granny smith cider. It has a pleasant taste and it looks just like a Heineken bottle. Chances are no one will know the difference. :)

If you call them, they are affiliated with a shipping compnay that will ship you a case. However, that costs like $70

My post was meant to encourage everyone to bring your local health food stores (Henry's, Trader Joes, Wild Oats, Whole Foods) and Lakefront brewery together. Normally, they will not do it by themselves.

They need "help". And that "help" is where you guys come in. Call the store, distributors and the brewery and get them on the same page.

Basically the brewery will do it if a distributor will carry it.

The distributor will carry it if a store will sell it.

A Store will sell it if it knows people want it.

So, start with the store and work yourself up. Like I said, this takes some manpower on ourbehalves, but its worth it.

I love being able to go to the store and picking up a "sixer". You will too...if you don't mind a little elbow grease.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all. Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly...

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      @par18, I don't totally disagree with what you say in theory. But like many things in life, one size doesn't fit all. While a formal diagnosis of celiac disease or NCGS is certainly not essential since, in the big picture of things, eliminating gluten is the antidote to either, there are some other considerations that give importance to seeking a formal diagnosis...

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      Domino's and Mountain Mike also has glutenfree pizza.However the issue is the cross contamination. Not worth a few minutes of yum yums i n the taste buds with a painful explosion later.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years to manifest to the point of being detectable and where symptoms are minimal or absent. At 10 years old, his immune system may not be mature enough het to trigger the usual IGA responses that the IGA celiac tests are designed to detect.  I would also have genetic testing done to confirm that he has or doesn't have the potential to develop celiac disease. The genetic profile can also offer insight into the type of celiac disease a person will develop if they ever convert from latent to active. Take a look at table 2 under the section "Types of Celiac Disease" in the article found in this link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9980758/  Genetic testing is available from 3rd party labs. I think you just have to send in a cheek swab sample.

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly test my two children. My eldest is the child in question. First tested at age 5 due to slight anaemia. Everything negative except for a slightly high DGP IGG (slightly elevated at 25). Not IGA deficient. Did a biopsy with a pediatric gastro, was negative. Next test at age 8. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 116 U/ml this time. Living in a country now with no celiac knowledge so decided to whack him on a gluten-free diet and see how he goes. Next test at age 9 after a year on gluten-free diet. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 174 U/ml this time! On a gluten-free diet. Final test was a week ago at age 10, on continued gluten-free diet. Once again a positive DGP IGG, this time over 250 U/ml. On a gluten-free diet. what the heck is going on with my kid? We have seen a pediatric gastro via telehealth, who was equally puzzled and suggested doing a gluten challenge and an endoscopy, which we have schedule for end of April. Kid is otherwise fine. Energetic and growing well. No significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Has anyone encountered something like this before?

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially beneficial in areas with well water or known contamination concerns. While RO systems also remove beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium and may produce slightly “flat”-tasting water, most dietary minerals come from food rather than drinking water, so this is not usually a health concern for most people. Overall, RO water is very clean and safe to drink, and it can be a smart option where water quality is questionable, though it may not be necessary in areas with well-tested municipal water.
