From Gluten Free Watchdog, LLC:

Great news on the allergen labeling front: the ADINA Act (H.R. 3821) was reintroduced into the 19th Congress on Friday, June 6, 2025 by U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03). 

The ADINA Act is co-led by Representatives Mike Lawler (NY-17), Doris Matsui (CA-07), and Ben Cline (VA-06). 

⭐️ This bill would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the label of a drug intended for human use to identify each ingredient in such drug that is, or is derived directly or indirectly from, a major food allergen or a gluten-containing grain. ⭐️

Because this bill was again reintroduced with bipartisan support in the House, we are hopeful that it gains traction. 

🙏🏻 Please consider reaching out to your U.S. Representatives to ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 3821. 

You can do this by contacting Daniela Puente ([email protected]), Senior Health Legislative Assistant to Rep. Morrison and the primary contact for the Adina Act on Capitol Hill.

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.

Wondering where to turn to find a good gluten free beer? Look no further then the Gluten Free Beer Roundup, by Michael Savett founder of Gluten Free Philly. The article lists gluten free beer by availability and flavor profiles and also makes food pairing recommendations.

One big reason Celiac Disease is underdiagnosed is that it requires gluten ingestion for testing accuracy. Many people cut out gluten and feel better and There are so many who don't want to go back to eating gluten free a diagnosis.

Research, published in the journal Gastroenterology, on Interleukin-2 has helped to create a new testing method that would allow people who are already on a gluten free diet to be accurately tested for Celiac Disease, without the need for gluten ingestion.

“By stimulating T cells after a blood draw, patients can avoid the need to return to gluten and the suffering that often comes with that – for the sole purpose of diagnosis. That is a major step towards improving outcomes for patients.”
