Smirnoff Ice is not gluten-free in the U.S. It is in Canada. Virtually all of the Smirnoff Ice type drinks and wine coolers in the U.S. have barley malt.

Virtually all distilled alcohol is gluten-free.

But some of us can not tolerate grain alcohols even when distilled. Test them in small amounts first.

Richard do you count the hours till I add this in? :D I'm sorry but our reaction is so strong I have to add it in, forgive me okay? :)

Christa-

See this link for info on alcohol: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-21105163537.13

I used to drink Smirnoff Ice's-they were one of my faves! But, no more. Wines have moved up to the top of my list, as well as simple mixed drinks, some martinis, fresh margaritas....still many options! :D

Some vodka is made from potato and some is made from grain. Distilled or not, the kind made from grain tore me up the last time I drank it mistakenly. Now I just stay completely away from vokda and whiskey unless the vokda clearly says it's from potato. I stick with wine, rum, or tequila (margaritas!).

The coolers are made from malt which is from barley and off limits to anyone with gluten problems. I stick to wine, have decided that I have problems with grain alcohol - no vodka for me anymore, but will keep my margaritas (hey julie5914 - I have a long weekend next weekend - wanna come over for a pitcher :lol::P )

I found a wine at WalMart called Fruituzia (or something like that) and it's almost like the way wine coolers used to be made. It's really light, slightly bubbly and only 6% alcohol. And inexpensive! :rolleyes:

As I've said before though, if ALL grain is bothering anybody, it's not a gluten problem. It's something else.

Well, yeah. But I've always been a lightweight drinker. It's just as I get older my body handles it less well than before. And Whiskey has something else in it that triggers my migrains so I stay away from that completely. But I do know that my reactions to grain alcohol are NOT celiac disease - just my body looking out for my liver I guess.

Hi Julia, How are you? I stick with wine also. I called the manufacture for Bacardi and they called me back and said that their bacradi Superior/Select/Gold/151 are all gluten-free, and also some flavored brands like Cocunut/Vanilla. So Rum and Cokes are my new drink. I'm trying to figure out if Cognac and brandy are gluten-free too.

Take care, joe

According to the above link for safe alcohols, brandy and cognac are gluten free.

Nettiebeads and Julie5914....I'll join you for the margaritas!!! :D

Who knows, it could [in part] be a 'blood type' thing.

Smirnoff Ice does not effect me. I burp a little, but i can drink it. The smirnoff green apple and watermelon are not advised to try. I think it has something to do with the types of malts used with each drink. As per the one guy claiming its something other than the Gluten, Its actually the subcomponent of Gluten called Gliaddin. Whats happeneing, is about 60% of americans bodies detect this Gliaddin as a virus or toxin. So our bodies try to develop an anti toxin for it, Anti-Gliaddin. Anyway long story short...........Everyone is a little right. Smirnoff Ice = Good and im extremely sensative to Gluten. Sorry im also drunk lol. Weeeeeeeeeeeee.........

This may seem a little off the subject but not completly; My sister and I have decided that drinking potatoe

vodka relieves our stomach symptoms when we are sick. Her dr. told her that it was like antiseptic that killed the infection. It takes about one modest of shot (1/4 of a cup) it saves us from being in the bathroom all day. Anyone eles notice this kind of effect. If you are sick its a good excuse to drink. LOL!! I certainly cannot drink anything distilled from grain.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
