We seem to be going around yet again on beer.  I don't have time to do major
comments right now, but if someone is willing to do a search for past
postings on beer, it might help the people who think that Modelo Negro and
Sapporo are safe for celiac patients. I would say that the general
conclusion last time around was that no beers brewed from barley or wheat
are safe, even though the amount of harmful peptides in them may be very
small. I would guess that any beer that is made from hops is also based on
barley or wheat, but I could be wrong.  We didn't deal directly with
Sapporo, but someone checked on Modelo Negro and posted that it was brewed
from barley.
