Peroni Gluten Free Lager

I was excited to see this and really liked it. For about 10 days I had one beer every other evening but gradually I noticed I was starting to feel unwell - i developed a reflux cough, felt exhausted and started to get a very sore throat - not a sore throat like you get with a cold - literally a painful throat. I stopped drinking the lager - had about 2 days in bed just sleeping - and I gradually recovered. I am 100% certain it was the beer. Peroni insist they remove the gluten and that it's safe but I absolutely don't agree and think it's very misleading that this is labelled as gluten free. Has anyone else had a similar experience ? I'd like to be able to have a beer but am now very nervous about trying any supposedly gluten free lager.

What is this beer made from? Is it made from a non-gluten containing grain such as sorghum or is it made from "de-glutened" wheat or barley?

Hi there - thanks for your interest - it is "de-glutened" - it's made using barley but they then filter it out - supposedly making it safe. I definitely reacted badly to it. Am hoping to perhaps try  a lager made with sorghum but am still a bit nervous after that experience !

I have drunk this beer without issue although people vary in their sensitivity to gluten. This beer is a barley lager that is treated with an enzyme such as Clarex to degrade any gluten remaining after the brewing process and then batch tested to verify that it is less than 20 parts per million gluten. The enzyme attacks the proline groups in gluten molecules - that parts that human gut enzymes cannot break down. Supposedly, the remaining fragments do not contain any epitopes that coeliac disease reacts to.

There are some beers that are totally gluten free. I don't know if you can get them where you live but Greens make some great ones.

      High IgA Normal TT IGA

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's too bad they didn't do a full celiac disease panel that included DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) tests. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. You may also want to ask your doctor why your total IgA is so high.

      Gluten free perfume?

      Pacifica is a great gluten-free company. They offer body balms, lotions, and perfumes all gluten-free and cruelty free.

      Gluten free perfume?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've never heard of gluten in perfumes before. How can you be sure that your reaction wasn't caused by something else, or was perhaps an allergic reaction?

      Am I overexaggerating or is it normal?

      Gluten is also in a lot of beauty and personal hygiene products. It is everywhere. I have just started trying to use gluten-free hair and beauty products. Toothpaste is also a big one. There are several brands that are gluten-free, including Burt's Bees. I also find that some gluten-free products don't agree with me. Like gluten-free Oreos. Not sure why. It is so hard to remove it from every part of your life, but if you are miserable there is no other choice. Good luck!
