So, I decided to start with a positive post, but here's the real deal:
Yesterday I had a beer. Today I'm really unhappy about that. For some reason, it just didn't compute that beer wasn't gluten-free. Beer is made with barley.
Barley = Gluten
Well, shit. I screwed up there. And after two weeks of feeling fantastic, I feel terrible again. Swollen around the middle, bloated, and unhappy. All after one beer.
So I've done some research about gluten-free beer, and it does exist.
Brands that I've discovered...but never tried (or know if they exist in Canada) include:
Bard's Tale Beer- USA
O'Brien- AUS
Messagere- CANADA
Nickel Brook-??
New Grist- USA
One day, I'll see if I can track some down, and see if they're even available in the "normal" liquor stores here in Vancouver.
I'll let you know.
An update here: I found New Grist beer at the BC Liquor Store on Robson St. Was too nervous to buy, but it exists!
