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.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
