Making Gluten Free Root Beer

I have recently become interested in root beer after not having it for many years. However, the ingredients are problematic, so I decided to make my own. Some recipes have a kombucha-like fermentation process and some use Brewer's Yeast. I made the kombucha type but would like to try the beer type using brewers yeast because the kombucha style was not very fizzy. Some Brewer's Yeasts are taken as a supplement and inactive, ie no good for brewing. All of the active brewer's yeasts I have found are not gluten free. Does anyone know of a products that is an active brewer's yeast that is also gluten free?

Yes but I don't think you can brew beer or root beer from that kind. ??

Why not? It is brewer's yeast. I'll admit that I'm no expert on brewing root beer, however, I did spend ~3 years perfecting a malted sorghum/rice gluten-free beer back in the 90's.

From another gluten free site: "The term brewer’s yeast can refer to both the live yeast used to make beer and the spent yeast that is a by-product of the beer-brewing process." If you continue to Google here and there, you find out that only the live yeast can brew beer. Most brewers yeast sold is used as a supplement and is not active and cannot brew anything.

      I was undiagnosed for quite a few years. I now have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Be watchful of something like this and definitely see a neurologist if having symptoms like numbness in your extremities.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.   I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements that don't contain essential vitamins. Interesting Reading: Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/   Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Mitochondria, and Nutrient Deficiencies https://hormonesmatter.com/autistic-spectrum-disorder-asd-mitochondria-nutrients/   Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/ Keep us posted on your progress!
