This may sound strange but for over 20 years I can not drink any alcohol unless it was vodka or tequilla. Now a few years ago we did an allergy mark-up and I was allergic to the majority of wheats. Well, pretty well all of them. Now a my tests have come back not celiac disease but high gluten sensitivity and my doctor wants to repeat the test in three months and have me go Gluten free.

I can only drink tequilla, vodka and rum made in Cuba because they don't use wheats. Now I have found problems with some vodka coolers in the past and looking on alcohol bottles you don't get a lot of info. I would suggest emailing the different vodka producers, as I believe I will do the same.

I emailed smirnoff's a while back. The coolers are made from malt, which is just the same as drinking beer, even though it isn't beer. I was informed from Smirnoff's that all except their Vodka products are not safe for those with gluten problems. Even though their vodka is made from grain, the distallation process removes the protein that causes reactions for those with gluten problems. I was hoping that other Smirnoff products went through a distallation process too, to make them safe for us, but nope That would go the same for any of the clear beer products - zima, bicardi's, ect. The key word is MALT which is from barley, which is off limits to us.
