I know I don't understand the beer thing either. It is low carb so maybe all the gluten has been taken out. However, now that I am having problems with the bladder/urether I have stopped my beer. I want to see if that helps. Having said that I went to my doc. yesterday and told him I think I have a low grade infection in the urether. I honestly do, he had suggested irritable bladder, but I don't think it is that. I am starting to feel better already and I have only had two doses of the anitbiotic. Anyway, off the beer for a while because 1) it's a good opportunity to come off and 2) interested to see if my tummy gets even better without it. I will keep you posted. I resent that article because I am not sure if you got it, by regular email. Kisses, Neeta
