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.

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      The comments requested are very limited in scope, and I don't think this shotgun approach would be helpful, but that is just my 2 cents, for what it's worth.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hi all: Scott, I am glad you listed all your supplements, etc, many new to Celiac will be floundering as I was when diagnosed in 1979. After much trial and error, the following supplements are now a daily MUST HAVE for me. We have to keep in mind, too much can be just as damaging as too little. Further, I have found that 'brands' of supplements vary...

      Once Promising Celiac Drug Larazotide Looks Doomed After Disappointing Phase 3 Trial

      Welcome @LifeOfBryan, do you have celiac disease, and are you currently on a gluten-free diet? Currently this is still the only treatment, even though there are various medical treatment approaches in the works.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      it's not mysterious, it's currently not officially diagnosed as labs are presenting a very complicated case with multiple potential causes- and of course they each have a different treatment. hmm... well everything you put in your body is interactive with everything else are you assuming I have an iodine deficiency?

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi all: Scott, I am glad you listed all your supplements, etc, many new to Celiac will be floundering as I was when diagnosed in 1979.  After much trial and error, the following supplements are now a daily MUST HAVE for me.  We have to keep in mind, too much can be just as damaging as too little. Further, I have found that 'brands' of supplements vary hugely! I tend to go with the newer ones as I find they 'digest' better, and digestion is HUGE with many of us. In hopes my input may help someone through the jungle of supplements:  I buy from Amazon. I take Naka Cal/Mag Marine Algae with Vit D.  Explanation here re/ Algae: I do not take anything with fish oil. I can't swallow large capsules so I chew them...a bit 'fishy' tasting but not bad. I was using a top brand but one day it tasted like...rotten, strong, yucky fish taste. I switched to Algae, I also have a 'thing' about farmed fish full of anti-biotics but don't get me started on that...I digress. I take extra D3, Celiacs need this.. I get the one from Sports Research, great company in U.S.A.  I also take B complex from 'Thorne' as well as extra B12 subliminal, another one Celiacs need. I agree with Scott the need for extra B12 for a clear brain. I also take a Multi vitamin with Zinc- Naka brand.  Also, K2 MK7 is a must for Celiac... and finally, I take Omega-3 Algae.  I truly hope this helps someone -  I know the struggle well.  Florence.

      it's not mysterious, it's currently not officially diagnosed as labs are presenting a very complicated case with multiple potential causes- and of course they each have a different treatment.    hmm... well everything you put in your body is interactive with everything else   are you assuming I have an iodine deficiency?  I seriously doubt it but I'll check the iodine content of my nori sometime to see if maybe I'm getting too much... too much is bad too. link doesn't work I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours crafting a good optimal diet for my particular needs.  Yes definitely thousands of hours. I have enjoyed it immensely and will continue to refine my diet as it suits me and my own physiology.  . My body has decided it will not work properly, either due to an adenoma (benign) or hyperplasia and/or a small kidney defect (that remains to be seen but it's not looking good) and/or we don't yet know......... it does NOT look like it's one single issue, it appears to be at least two different ones not going to give out my full medical history here for ppl to second guess (unless one or more of you have a medical degree and specialize in gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology etc) I got permission to stop the drug I was on (I was going to stop it without "permission") so in the meantime I have to walk a VERY VERY fine line with vit D and calcium intake to avoid losing any more BMD than I already have. while I wait til the next round of testing I MAY be able to tolerate a gluten challenge that doesn't have the addition of a confounding variable (the drug I just stopped) it was impossible to tell what symptoms were from the gluten challenge and which were from the drug

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Known1 · Posted

      Hello @knitty kitty, Thanks for your detailed reply.  I have been eating bananas daily since my diagnosis.  The only time I have noticed a reaction is when eating a banana without washing my hands first.  I just had another banana this morning and am feeling fine.  I will eat another one for lunch, since the 4 remaining are getting quite ripe.  Traditionally speaking, I have never had a problem with latex.  Granted I am freshly diagnosed with Celiac.  With that said, I have come to learn it impacts everyone differently.  For instance my vitamin levels are all in the normal range other than D.  From what I have read (here and elsewhere), that is somewhat rare. I already purchased 64oz of Everyone by EO hand lotion that is labeled gluten-free.  It arrived yesterday afternoon via Amazon.  I started using it last night and again this morning.  I haven't formed a final opinion on it, but initial thoughts are good.  I will be giving away the 3 brand new bottles of Lubriderm I had previously purchased (from Costco) some time last year. Thank you again and have a wonderful day ahead.
