Diagnosed With Celiac - But Have Not Been Getting Sick From Beer

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group. I've had Celiac for 1 year now. At first it was hard for me to adapt, but now, the only thing that bothers me is not being able to drink (regular) beer. Yes, i've tried Red Bridge and all of that, and I really enjoy it. However, it's rare in my area to find that beer at bars, restaurants, etc. For the past month or so, I've been drinking BUd light, Coors light, etc. out at the bars and I have NOT gotten sick. But a few months ago, I ate a roll and was sick for a week, so i know that bread, etc makes me sick, but I don't understand why the beer wouldn't.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Do you recommend I get tested again?

Any input would help!!

Some things bother me more and some things don't really cause problems but I don't want to eat them cause long term they make it worse.

Since you have been gluten free for a year you would need at least 3 months back on a full gluten diet before testing and you could still have a false negative. If you were diagnosed by a doctor's testing then you are celiac. You may have healed enough so that small amounts of gluten don't seem to bother you but the antibody reaction is still likely going on. IMHO you are playing with fire. Can you get a glass of wine or something for sure gluten free like a clear rum and coke instead of a gluten based beer? If you are a regular customer of some establishments ask the bar managers if they will get some Redbridge for you. Many will be happy to order it.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
