Allergies?


Question
Hi Iain and Happy New Year!
I am a guy in his early fifties.
I seem to have developed some food allergies over the years,
My doctor is a bit doubtfull but if not consuming these foods helps he says go for it.
Problem is I can find no information to back up my suspicions!
Can you help?
Number 1.Red Meat. I get gassy and bloated even if I eat a little beef or pork. Chicken, fish, is OK.
Number 2. (This REALLY BUGS ME!)Beer(hops?) My wife actually diagnosed this a few years ago. I am not a big drinker but I like a couple beers every now and then. However I get bloated, sinuses get plugged,a few more symptoms. This doesnt happen with wine or spirits. I cant find any info on what beer that doesnt contain hops.
Can you help here?
One thing these have in common is that they are both estrogen related. Red meat is full of growth hormones (estrogen) and hops are also estrogenic.So are my symptoms-bloating, irritability, etc.
Thanks so much for any help here!

Answer
Hi Terry,

I do not have any expertise with regards to the gassiness caused by Red meat.

But I do know that there are allergies caused by Gluten, which is found in malted barley.
This is used to make beer. Also some beers contain wheat.

Anheuser-Busch has a beer called Redbridge, which is a sorghum beer and is  gluten-free.

Budweiser and Coors Light are wheat free but not gluten free.

Thanks.
