Gluten free beer

[silver wedding]

I have just come off a P&O cruise and they had two types of gluten free beer. My next cruise is on Princess. Do Princess now do Gluten Free beer?

I have had Omission in the past on Princess. But I don't know if they always carry it.

Thanks Keith for the link but it didn't help. I'm a coeliac and found a lot of the posts on there insulting. Has anyone been on Princess recently and had a gluten free beer?

My husband has Celiac as well. Princess has Redbridge GF Beer that you need to order before the cruise. The cost is $108.00 for 24 bottles. When you click on the cruise personalizer and indicate that you need GF food, a page pops up that tells you about their GF options and beer is one of them...

Unfortunately people on CC just can not refrain from personal attacks and mocking those who have a certain medical issue. Many don't even know what Celiac is or what causes it. I have never seen gluten free beer on Princess cruises but have not looked. Given that beer is traditionally made from barley and wheat, a brewery would have to make substitutions to keep the gluten out of the finished product. I have not seen gluten free beer at Total Wines but next trip I will look to see it they even carry any. Not good news for the OP however.

Unfortunately, many people consider a Gluten Free diet to be just a fad. My husband went into total kidney failure before he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 6 years ago. Fortunately, he recovered after four days in the hospital. We watch his diet very closely. The celi in the digestive system helps process food. Celiac's disease basically means that the celi is no longer processing gluten food which means that it does not digest. Celiac is a serious disease that should not be confused with a fad diet. Total Wines has over 15 different types of GF beer. Most places that sell beer and many restaurants do offer GF beer.
