      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.

      I just recently saw something on this.  Has anyone tried test strips?  Which brand is better?  Not sure how they really work and if they really do work.  Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)
