I know that Strongbow cider is gluten free. Can anyone tell me if Sir Perry pear cider and Blackthorn cider are gluten free as well?

I can't comment on the specific brands mentioned, but I am not aware of any cider that is not gluten-free.

I called Hornsbys about a year ago. They said that Crisp Apple is definitely gluten-free. The Amber has some barley at an early stage of processing. It is likely destroyed and shows as no gluten if tested but they tell Celiacs not to drink that flavor. Other than that, I think all the ones I have seen are gluten-free.

I didn't have issues with the Hornsby's Amber and I went through about 3 cases of it one weekend ;) . Woodchuck is my favorite and their new 802 variety is awesome! And as a plus a lot of bars have woodchuck on tap, at least in TN.

I vote for Woodchuck as well. I'm not gluten free, my daughter is. I did do a trial diet for 6 months just to see if I noticed any changes (I did not). During that time, I switched from the occasional beer to the occasional Woodchuck. After my trial was over, I stuck with the hard cider. I just prefer it in general to beer.

I like Woodchuck as well. My favorites are the Amber, 802 and the Winter variety. In NC, I found a FoodLion that had a variety box during this past fall! It was great to try the different ciders. I'm not a fan of the Spring flavor out right now though.

Blackthorn is gluten-free. That's my favorite cider! So are Magner's, Woodpecker, and Strongbow.

I haven't seen a commercial cider other than Hornsby's with gluten, but the concern is barley malt. There are a lot of homebrew recipes floating around with barley malt or malt syrup added to the cider to feed the yeast and bump up the alcohol content. Because of that, I am in the habit of checking labels on unfamiliar cider and skipping unfamiliar microbrew ciders on tap.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Jess270 · Posted

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
