Help
I have been researching, trying to figure out which types and brands of alcohol are safe for celiacs but I have been finding alot of conflicting/contradicting information.
What is the deal with alcohol distilled from grains?
What brands of alcohol are not distilled from any grains at all?
What sorts of drinks does everyone enjoy that they dont get sick from?

"What is the deal with alcohol distilled from grains?"
The deal with distilled gluten alcohol really amounts to... some of us react and some of us don't. It seems that folks that have more neuro impact, like depression and anxiety have more of an problem with it. Those folks will also usually not tolerate gluten grain distilled vinegars either. The only way to really know if you react is to eliminate them both until you are well healed and then do a challenge by consuming the suspect item for a week. Intolerance reactions can be delayed so you might not react for up to a week, the usual person reacts within a 3 day period though.
"What brands of alcohol are not distilled from any grains at all? "
The Celiac Sprue Association website has a good guide for that:

"What sorts of drinks does everyone enjoy that they dont get sick from?"
I like wine, usually I look for an organic no sulfites added variety and mix it with a soda of some kind. I also like gluten-free beer like Redbridge on occasion. I leave the harder stuff to others.
