In honor of summer let's talk beer. There can be a lot of confusion around beer in the gluten free community around gluten free vs. gluten reduced products. What's the difference? Gluten free beer is made with grains that naturally don't contain gluten like sorghum or brown rice. Gluten removed beer is made with wheat, barely or rye and undergoes a process to removed gluten using enzymes.

According to a 2017 study by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago's Celiac Center, gluten removed beer may not be safe for those with celiac. In the study, gluten removed beer caused antibodies to react in a percentage of the subjects with celiac. Cynthia Kupper, CEO of GIG, added the medical and scientific community has not accepted gluten removed beer is safe because available gluten testing methods aren't accurate with fermented and hydrolyzed products.
