Crabs Steamed With Beer

First time poster, hope I'm in the right place....

Here in the Chesapeake Bay region it's crab season, and lots of local restaurants are steaming up blue crabs for our eating pleasure. Many places will add BEER to the liquid in the bottom of the pot where the crabs are cooked. Does this cause a gluten contamination problem?

I think that beer is commonly added to steam pots for lots of seafood (lobster, shellfish, etc.), so maybe this is a larger issue. Same goes for the popular "beer can chicken" on the grill.

I would think that it would cause a problem... stinks though. I'm from Florida originally and I totally remember Crab and Lobster season! (I don't eat shellfish anymore just from a personal objection to eating bottom feeders but I remember how good they were)... You may have to request that yours be steamed in water only.

I bought the Weber thingee (go to their website) for what we call here in Arizona "beer butt chicken". I use a gluten-free beer in the funnel part.

I love to eat bottom-feeders, although putting it that way makes it sound pretty disgusting!! Lamentably, I have developed a shellfish allergy. Get all swelled up!

No beer for boiling, gluten does not boil out or we'd be able to eat pasta!

DON'T eat them. I ate some last week and started coughing and could not breathe. Just started going glutten free. They put 1 beer in - they forgot I couldn't have beer. I only ate 1 before the attack. LindaLee

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
