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 :)

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
