Awwww somebody just got their feeling hurt because they were proved wrong all morning.... Who was it that said something about being butthurt and leaving? Hmm think that was you.

Eric Eric Eric you are arguing with a turd man. It's gonna smell bad no matter how you go about it.

This thread= elementary school playground.

Ethan L wrote:So to answer the original question. Just shoot for low alcohol beers. Malts used for brewing contain gluten. Sugar from the malts is eaten by the yeast and gives beer it's alcohol. A low alcohol content would mean a lower concentration of malts during the brewing processes.

Or drink shitty American adjunct lagers like Bud and Miller that substitute some malts with rice or corn to add fermentable sugars without imparting much flavor. Or you could just go all the way and drink sake.

I know its been mentioned here before, but the answer to this thread is whiskey. Jesus.

Budwiser is brewed from rice, and thus, pretty much gluten free!

Yeah, but the OP asked about gluten free beer.

Good news is that a gluten free diet helps battle autism.

Here's a link in swedish with beers and gluten levels. Maybe you don't have so many of these beers available, but should give a hint on the levels at least.

sverigesbryggerier.se/wp-co…

I'll translate the summary for you.
Summary:
Svagdricka can contain gluten
Dark christmas beers can contain gluten, independent on alcohol content.
Porter doesn't contain gluten, unless it's an overfermented type like Guinness stout, where the gluten content is high.
Low-alcohol beer may contain gluten, especially if it's dark beer. Some brands contain more than others.
There is beer with alcohol content around 3,5 percent which don't contain gluten, but also those who do. Also here a darker beer will usually have a higher level of gluten, as will certain brands.
Beer with higher alcohol levels than 3,5 percent will usually contain gluten if the color is brown-yellow, dark brown or black(dark). Some beers may contain gluten even if the color is bright brown.
Overfermented beers like Guinness stout, contain very high amounts of gluten. In overfermented beers of Ale and Duvel type, the gluten levels are lower.
Weissbier (Wheat beer) have very high levels of gluten.

fresh beer most oftenly contains high levels of gluten, but there are exceptions.
Corn beer and Rice beer do not contain gluten even if there is malt in the recipy.

And missed the maybe most important part.

200 ppm gluten is the swedish limit for gluten free food. 20 ppm is the limit for naturally gluten free food.

But bear in mind that even if the levels similar to gluten free products, the amount also matters, and sometimes even 0,5-1 litre is enough to add a noticeable amount of gluten to your diet.

Hope this helps!

This local brewery by me is using this enzyme to remove gluten from beers that normally contain gluten. The beer in this particular link has 5ppm. I thoroughly enjoy craft brews as well so I have had to find some beers that meet gluten free standards of 20 ppm or less. I have eaten gluten free for about 6 months now as a means to try to control my Multiple Sclerosis, although there is no research to back up the practice. The idea is that gluten increases systemic inflammation and that reducing that inflammation/immune response will help my immune system stop working so hard to destroy my central nervous system myelin.
For what it's worth I "feel" like I have more energy and lost a little weight.

Going gluten free helps many people, as it is inflammatory. That being said, you have to go all or nothing to notice any kind of change. Going "low gluten" won't do anything, if your body is going to react to it, it will if you eat one piece of bread or 5 pieces of bread. Gluten hides in a lot of places, so it takes a lot of time, work and expense to make it work. It is worth a shot if you have symptoms that haven't resolved from anything else.
