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. :)

How do you order New Grist on their site? I dont see a place to do that in. Unless I am just missing it

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.

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that.

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      Interestingly enough, while I hear you. I completely disagree. Gluten has not been 100% removed. There’s still trace amounts under the regulated amount per millions allowed. I gave only figured out in the last year, while reading chats on this site, of other celiacs still having issues and how they figured it out. If enough companies allow slight amounts o...

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      I understand why that feels frustrating, because the labeling can definitely seem confusing. In the case of products like King Arthur’s gluten-free bread flour that contain gluten-free wheat starch, the wheat starch has been specially processed to remove the gluten proteins that trigger celiac disease. Because it originates from wheat, U.S. labeling laws s...

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that. If the blood work comes back negative for the genes, then I will cancel the endoscopy. If positive, I will try the 2 week gluten challenge and get the endoscopy done. If I can't manage the gluten challenge (I had HORRIBLE symptoms last time and quit after 12 days) then we'll just assume it's celiac disease and go from there. She says she does a full nutrient panel on all her pts every year, that was nice to hear.I'm on so many supplements it would be nice to only have to get the ones I truly need! so yeh, really anxious about the test results for the genes!! I have an identical twin sister so I'd need to tell her if it's positive, she'd prob want to get tested too. *interesting note: when I said if the blood work comes back that I don't have the genes, then I'm in the clear - she said, well,,,,,,not necessarily. But she didn't want to go into as we had a lot to go over. I did make a  mental note of that comment and will ask her when I see her next time.   she was very thorough! I was impressed! she even checked- up on some lab work I had done that my Endo ordered. I like her, I am looking forward to seeing her again. I think I'll get some good advice and info from her she also complimented me on my diet.   said it was a very gut friendly and healthy diet

      Second chance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure why "colonoscopy" keeps coming up for you, again it would be an endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, but it seems that Kaiser should still have your records. If you were diagnosed by them in the 1990's using a blood test and endoscopy, then you definitely have celiac disease, and hopefully you've been gluten-free since that time. You should be able to contact Kaiser for those records.

      Concerning GP advice

      By Russ H · Posted

      This sounds like a GP who is ignorant regarding coeliac disease. The risk with consuming gluten for several days is that it triggers the coeliac immune response, leading to raised auto-antibodies and active disease for several months. People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.
