Budweiser

Ever since I started telling people I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and that I'm soooo bummed I can no longer drink beer because of the wheat, I've had a ton of people say "Drink Budweiser! It's made from rice!" Is this true?? Or is it an Urban Legend? I've had their Redbridge Beer, which is fine when I'm at home, but I don't find it in a bar or restaurant!! It sure would make my going out and eating out life easier if I could still drink Bud Light. Anybody out there know? :huh:

It would probably contain barley which would be a no-go then. Sorry no bud light.

The reason Budweiser made a gluten free beer is that their other beers weren't gluten free.

Budweiser, like most beers, is made from barley. There are wheat beers, but you don't see them frequently. The nongluten beers I've seen are made from sorghum. I haven't run across any rice beers.

In Finland there is a corn beer; it's named "Indian Beer" or something like that, with the face of a Plains Indian in a traditional head dress on the can.

Interesting. I wonder if that is because they have such a high rate of celiac?

I would probably like the corn beer.

I think you need to clarify to people that you're not just avoiding wheat; you're also avoiding barley, rye, spelt, and oats and any products that may have come into contact with them. If you had a wheat allergy, but not celiac disease, you wouldn't have a problem with beer.

Can't you drink wine or a mixed drink at bars and restaurants if they don't carry a gluten-free beer? A rum and coke is probably about the same volume of drink and alcohol content as a beer (is rum gluten-free? the only alcohol I ever drink is wine so I'm not sure about all this stuff!)

      New to all of this

      I got an official diagnosis from a naturopathic doctor, based on: 1. Very high blood antibodies 2.dna test and 3. Response to gluten free diet. I'm in the United States and have had absolutely no push back ever. My step granddaughter received an official diagnosis from an MD based on high antibodies blood test only. She's also in the U.S. and was told docs in U.S.are doing this more often now. I'd try a different doctor if you can.

      Test result confusion high Immunoglobin A

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.
