This is my first post so forgive me if it is not correct.  I was recently diagnosed with Celiac's disease and I tried several gluten free beers.  I found out that I cannot tolerate sorghum.  I woke up twice screaming in pain after drinking these beers.  It felt like someone was stabbing me.  I am trying to find beers brewed with other grains, such as rice, millet or buckwheat that are OK for Celiac patients. 

The other problem is actually getting any beers that would be promising.  I live in Wisconsin so there are some west coast brews that are not available here.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks...…...

There are some pretty good Certified gluten free beers out there.  My fav is Ground Breaker brewed in Oregon.  My local liquor store (CA) carries it.

But.....you are just newly diagnosed.  Anything you eat can wreak havoc on your sore gut (intestines, liver, etc.). Can you wait a few more weeks before drinking?  If not, try some wine until you can find a good local gluten-free beer that has never been in contact with rye, barley or wheat.

Being sensitive to sorghum rules out Redbridge.

I have tried and enjoy Omission beers.  I'm a cheap light beer in a can kind of guy, and my go to is Omission Ultimate Light Golden Ale I think it's called.  Omission does use regular beer ingredients and then does something to remove gluten during the brewing process.  Please read about them at their site: https://www.drinkomission.com/

While in Europe last year, I also enjoyed Peroni's gluten-free beer as well as Estrella Galacia's gluten-free beer.  Not sure if either are available in the US, however.

Back to Omission -- I think the jury is still out on whether or not Omission beer is safe for celiac patients to drink.  My experience is only anecdotal, to be sure.  I'm one of the people who have celiac disease but suffer no discomfort nor other noticeable symptoms if I ingest gluten.  I rely on blood work to determine how well I am adhering to a gluten-free diet -- and my blood work got better and better in the years following my diagnosis to the point where my antibody tests now come back negative, or very, very low.  While not definitive, my experience with Omission *seems* to be that it is safe for me.

Best to you as you navigate this new journey.  Learn everything you can, and keep notes if you need, you know "this good, that bad" kind of stuff.

Omission beer makes me sick.  But people have varying levels of sensitivity to gluten.  So it may be ok for you.

White Claw makes some flavored seltzer waters with alcohol that are gluten free.  Not like a beer but in a can at least.

I have no problems with Ghostfish gluten-free beer. I don't know if it contains sorghum, you can contact them and ask. Even my gluten eater friends were pleasantly surprised. They are certified gluten-free, dedicated gluten-free facility. They are always announcing distribution to more states. You can also mail order now. If you come to the Seattle area, they have the best gluten-free fish n chips.

Just checked the fridge and found a can of Ghostfish Kick Step, one of my favs. No sorghum, it uses beet sugar.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.
