What to know about ipa
IPA (India Pale Ale) is a hop-forward craft beer, and the extra hops do not make it any gentler on the triggers that matter. It is brewed from malted barley, so it is high in gluten (grade E), and because it is fermented and often unfiltered, it is high in histamine (grade D) with moderate tyramine and sulfites. If beer leaves you flushed, congested or bloated, a hoppy IPA is one of the more likely culprits, not the crisp lager people tend to blame.
Watch for
- Brewed from malted barley, so it is not gluten free and is a clear problem on a celiac or gluten-sensitive diet
- High in histamine from fermentation, a common reason a pint brings on flushing, a stuffy nose, headache or hives
- Carries moderate tyramine and sulfites, which can stack with the histamine for migraine-prone or sulfite-sensitive drinkers
- Hazy, unfiltered and high-ABV styles sit in the tank longer, which tends to push the histamine load higher still
