Beer has historically been made with grains (wheat, barley or rye) containing gluten proteins. In recent years, naturally gluten free beer brewed with alternative grains like sorghum, millet and rice has become available in the marketplace. There is another new category of beer called “gluten-removed;” these beers are made from barley in the traditional brewmaking style, and are not allowed to be labeled "gluten free" in the U.S., although local state laws may differ when the beers are not crossing state lines. Experts caution against celiacs and those with gluten sensitivity drinking these beers, since no scientifically validated testing yet exists which can adequately detect gluten in beverages like fermented beers.   A new research study conducted by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) shows that beers labeled “gluten-removed” may indeed not be safe for those with celiac disease. A first of its kind pilot study titled, “The Celiac Patient Antibody Response to Conventional and Gluten-Removed Beer,” was published online by the Journal of AOAC International, and was conducted by GIG at the University of Chicago’s Celiac Research Center.  Two authors of the study, Cynthia Kupper, CEO of the Gluten Intolerance Group and a registered dietitian diagnosed with celiac disease, and Laura Allred, Ph.D. and GIG's Regulatory and Standards Manager, join Jules on the show to discuss the impetus for the study, how the study was conducted, study results and what this means for celiacs and others sensitive to gluten as they search for safe gluten free products.

For years, oats were considered unsafe for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Over time, we learned that oats in fact do not contain gluten, but they are so heavily contaminated during growth, cultivation, processing and packaging, that they almost always contain too much gluten to be considered gluten free under the FDA's new less than 20 parts per million of gluten standard.  Thankfully, some growers embraced the idea of a "purity protocol" whereby they would only grow oats on certain fields and they would harvest, process and package these oats apart from any gluten containing grain like wheat, barley and rye. These dedicated gluten free oats have offered a safe, high fiber, nutrient dense food to add into the gluten free diet.   Recently, some mainstream food manufacturers in the US have begun to offer oat-based products to GF consumers, sold as "mechanically separated" oats, not using the purity protocol. These products are said to test to less than 20ppm gluten and are being labeled as gluten free. Find out what this process entails, the current results of testing these products and the various opinions on its safety during this special episode on oats. Tune in to learn the difference between oats to decide what's safe for your diet and for your family. Special guest: Seaton Smith of GF Harvest and Gluten Free Oats.

Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts the Gluten Free Voice Radio show offering GF news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation. Gluten free is more than a lifestyle choice - it's a lifestyle necessity for so many of us. Transitioning well to living gluten free is in large part dependent on finding suitable replacements for the gluten-filled food and drink you enjoyed before -- whether they be everyday staples or occasional indulgences. Beer is one of the things folks lament foregoing the most (along with pizza and a great sandwich bread). As an author, baker and manufacturer of gluten-free flour and baking mixes, I can solve the problem of finding a great gluten-free pizza and sandwich bread, but making a great gluten-free beer I know nothing about! So my special guest is here to talk about how and why MillerCoors has introduced Coors Peak, a beer made for those of us who love beer but who cannot tolerate what traditional beers are made of. Ryan Marek is a senior marketing manager of branded innovation at MillerCoors. He will join me to discuss how Coors Peak came to be, why MillerCoors decided to stick to using gluten-free grains in the production of this beer (rather than using controversial "de-glutenizing" enzymes in barley beers), and what the marketing strategy ahead will be for this newest offering. Tune in to learn more about gluten in beer, how to make a beer without it, and what choices lie ahead for gluten-free beer loving consumers.

Twenty-four-year-old Westport, Connecticut native Parker Kligerman comes from humble beginnings at the local kart tracks of Connecticut, but Kligerman has achieved remarkable results, and has become one of racing’s most promising young talents.

Now, Parker has made it his mission to spread the word about Celiac Disease and to show people that a gluten-free lifestyle can include delicious food choices and a variety of options at their favorite restaurants. The mission of his Gluten-Free campaign: * Spread awareness about Celiac Disease and how to get tested. * Promote options for Celiacs and those who are living a gluten-free lifestyle. Join Jules and Parker as they discuss overcoming celiac disease and spreading awareness of the benefits of a gluten free lifestyle, on and off the track.

Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation. Celiac Awareness Day is the perfect time to learn more about celiac disease and to share information so that more people are diagnosed. Potential symptoms of celiac are not well-known, physicians often do not order proper testing and at least 90% of people are still not diagnosed. The benefits of a gluten-free diet are also not completely understood. In today's show, Jules will discuss potential symptoms of celiac disease, problems in testing for CD, the diagnosis of gluten sensitivity, and the benefits of the gluten-free diet. Share with family, friends and neighbors - spread the word about celiac disease and help others get properly diagnosed!

Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation. This week Jules returns to the subject of de-glutenized beers. In January, 2012, Jules hosted on her show Spanish beer manufacturer Estrella Damm, to talk about their Daura de-glutenized barley beer. The subject of testing and safety of these beers has remained in the news, most recently due to questions around labeling laws. The Craft Brew Alliance, a popular American brewing group out of Oregon, has launched its own de-glutenized barley beer called Omission. It has received much fanfare and praise for its true beer flavor and unique batch test numbering on bottles. Today's guest is Joe Casey, senior director of brewing at Craft Brew Alliance Inc. Joe worked for six years to develop a good-tasting beer that his wife could drink after she was diagnosed with celiac disease. Ingredients like barley, hops, water and yeast make this beer taste like a regular (great) beer, but is it truly safe for celiacs? Beer, brewing, testing and safety are on tap for today's show. You won't want to miss it!
