Question 1

what are the health differences between regular beer and gluten-free beer?

Accepted Answer

No gluten: Gluten-free beer is made from ingredients that do not contain gluten, which is a protein found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Regular beer contains gluten which causes serious symptoms for people with Celiac disease and some others.

Question 2

i get diarrhea almost every time i drink beer or vodka. i do have celiac disease and the gluten free beer even gives me diarrhea too?

Accepted Answer

Why drink it?: Regardless of the mechanism, the answer would be avoiding vodka or beer.  Having Celiac disease does not protect you from having another illness.

Question 3

are gluten free foods healthier?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily : Of course by avoiding gluten many bad foods are excluded but being gluten free does not make it neccessarily more healthy then another product.

Question 4

what kind of soda is gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Probably all sodas: Probably all sodas available at stores are gluten free. Sodas are just sugars, carbonated water, caffeine, etc., but rarely would have wheat, rye, or barley. If someone was selling soda with real malted wheat or barley as flavoring, that soda may have gluten. Corn is gluten-free.

Accepted Answer

No gluten protein: Gluten-free means the food or drink does not contain gluten, a protein found in such grains as wheat, rye, and barley (including malted barley or malt). Grains that do not contain gluten include corn, rice, millet, quinoa, sorghum, and buckwheat.

Question 6

how simple is it to be gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Gluten free : Stop consuming wheat, barley, and rye in anything you eat or drink, and preferably anything you apply to your skin.    That's it.   Do this for at least a month, but forever would be even better.

Question 7

i am now going gluten free, is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Whatever: Gluten is a component of wheat primarily.

All fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables are naturally gluten-free.

None: Not only are there no benefits to eating a gluten-free diet if you do not have celiac disease, but you become vitamin deficient  and lack other nutrients as well. Not to mention the tremendous amount of effort and energy that would go into reading labels.
