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

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
