Question
I have celiac and can not have any wheat products is there beer made from rice or any other non wheat products.

Answer
Yes, there are a number of gluten-free beers being made these days, although you might have to hunt around to find a local store where you can get them.

For example, Bard's Tale is a brand of gluten-free beers distributed in about half the states of the USA, and they have received some good reviews for their beers (they have two or three different beer styles).

Sprecher, a small Wisconsin brewery, has Shakparo Ale. and Anheuser-Busch (the Budweiser maker) has Redbridge.

There are also some Canadian, Belgian and English breweries producing these types of beers.
I'm sure there are others, that I'm not aware of, but you have a pretty good chance of finding at least one of them wherever you live.
