Cocktails Anyone?

So I've stopped drinking beer altogether. Not that I'm a big drinker or anything, but I do like to have a cocktail when I go out. My favorites are vodka, sake, red wine occasionally. But a friend has said recently that a lot of vodka is made with wheat. Is she right? I've never had a reaction with vodka, but I sure have with beer.

Distilled alcohol is supposed to be safe.

My personal favorite is Malibu and OJ, although I got glutened from Tropicana OJ once so I'm very picky about the brand of juice that is used.

Cute little doggies you have there. And a great HST quote. I may have to steal that one for my Myspace page.

Most vodka is grain based but the gluten is removed during the distallation process. Thank God I can still have vodka, rum, tequila, brandy, cognac. I've always been allergic to beer - probably the hops, so that part of the diet wasn't a problem. But I used to drink those malt based beer replacements (smirnoffs and bicardi things) but came to find out that those are definately on the no list. But I've found a wine at WalMart's that's a real nice replacement when I want something light and slightly fizzy.

I feel like such a wino saying this...

:P

...but thank God alcohol is gluten-free! I don't eat bread, pastries and pasta much anymore (unless, of course, it's gluten-free) but I definitely load the calories on via drinking. I only drink a few times a week, but sometimes it's really the only little vice I can enjoy. :blink::D

one of my favorites gluten-free alcoholic bevs is Strongbow's hard cider...really good. rum and coke is another option, gin and tonic... when i went to wild oats on sunday there was a sign up that sad 'we are out of Barb's Tail beer' that made me laugh. the person who wrote the sign is definitely NOT a celiac!

There is a little bit of a debate about the whole distilled grains thing as to whether or not they are safe. Some people say yes others say no; I think you realy have to figure out what's right for your body. I know I feel like I got hit by a truck if I take a sip of something derived from grains, so I stick to my martinis (sometimes a good dirty martini is better than whiskey anyway and you get toughness points). There is a list of some safe liquors on this websiteCeliac Safe alcohols list Since I don't trust my abilities with technology, I'll also tell you that if you go up to the main menu on the left side of the screen and click on site index, then scroll down and find the safe/forbidden lists and click on that, you'll find a pretty lengthy list.

Now that everyone's minds are on cocktails, CHEERS!! :D

I do agree Strongbow is a good beverage!!!!

I just have started the gluten-free diet, and man I am happy to hear that Strongbow is gluten-free...YAY!

Man I love Strongbow too!!!!!!

Is WoodChuck also gluten-free??

The lists I have seen list woodchuck as okay and hornsby's as not. However, I will say when I e-mailed woodchuck their answer was a bit shady, but it may have been a CYA. I actually love Strongbow the most--and I have to admit, I love those tall cans too :)

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
