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

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.

There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
