I think you should make your "whole foods" diet your very own version...and have a gluten free beer if you want to! You're only messing up if you think you are. People try to eat mostly only whole foods but everyone likes to indulge from time to time. As long as you are not ingesting gluten I wouldn't worry too much about it. Stress isn't good for you!! Have a gluten free beer!

I agree. I don't say a word about my diet to anyone - gluten-free or not, other than "I'm gluten-free".

Yeah, I'm grain- light. But if I say anything like that to someone, next thing i know, that person will catch me eating a bag of Tostitos and think I'm "cheating". So I just eat what works and don't label it.

So have a beer and gluten-free pizza and have a good night, ya hear??

Yes, I'd say that beer is on any diet you want it to be. Kind of like how chocolate is its own food group. ;)

I had pizza and beer for dinner the other night and it was very yummy. :) We had a movie night here at home. Ordered from Dominos for the others and I made mine from the square Kinnickinnick (spelling? lol) crusts. Sauce, cheese, mushrooms, spinach, onions, and pepperoni. B)

For Heaven's sake, have a good beer. Try Green's! (Sorry, self-professed beer snob) Even Bard's Tale and New Grist are better than Redbridge... :lol:

Everyone has fun pointing out when people "break" their diet. 90% of the people I know do not know I am gluten-free or more accurately the SCD diet. Just no need for the majority of people to know that information. Even when eating out, it is only an issue if we choose to make it an issue.

Those beverages are really important for quality of life, but i'm not liking gluten-free beers. I just bought some Bard's but haven't tried it yet. I don't like New Grist at all. So it kind of looks like I'm not a beer drinker anymore, and we have a wonderful local microbrewery just down the street. Alas. But I have discovered Angry Orchard hard ciders, which more than make up for it. Go for it!

Other gluten free beers that I have tried,include:

From Milwaukee, WI - 2 breweries. New Grist, by Lakefront Brewery, made from sorghum and hops, 6-pack costs $8 - $12.

Shakpuro, by Sprecher, made from sorghum, millet and hops, 6-pack costs about $13. Not as sweet as New Grist.

Boulder CO - Tread Lightly, by New Planet, made from sorghum, corn, orange peel and hops. 4-pack cost around $10.

Henderson NV - Fox Tail, by Joseph James Brewing Co. made from organic rice, nectar, and hops. Only gluten free beer I have found that comes in a can. 6-pack about $11. Has a bit of a citrus taste.

From Europe

Green Beers - 4 different flavors, come in 22 ounce bottles. Between $6 - $10 per bottle. Pricey, but good.

St. Peters - have 1 gluten free beers and other non-gluten free beers. Did not like this beer.

2 other beers that are made with barley, but are certified as less than 20 ppm.

From Spain - Estrella Damm Daura. My wife likes it and she is not celiac.

Warrensville, IL - Prairie Path Golden Ale, by Two Brothers. 6-pack costs $8 - $12. Tastes like normal beer and my wife likes it also.

Hope you can find these beers. Have fun sampling!

Just a reminder, as we have discussed many times, Estrella Damm Daura is made from barley and may or may not have gluten in it. The US Alcohol and Tobacco Agency has said it cannot be labelled gluten-free in the US.

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results.

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      My 5 months of Struggle

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds...

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results.  When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests.  Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and a false negative biopsy may result.  As uncomfortable as it is, finish all testing before going gluten free.

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, this article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
