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.

      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...

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.
