Gluten Free N/a Cocktails


MNMAC

Having been gluten free for over 3 years and recently alchohol free, I am looking for ideas for something good to drink at a few holiday parties I will be attending soon. Nothing too fancy but something other than a soda or water. Does anything go good with 7 up or ginger ale? I appreciate any suggestions, Merry Christmas.

As a kid we always had punch made with 7up and sherbet at our Christmas parties.  Can just put it in a big bowl.

Subsitute sparkling cider for the champagne 

 

Pomegranate-Cranberry Sparkler
Serves 6-8

1 cup Pomegranate Juice
1 cup Unsweetened Cranberry Juice
Orange Simple Syrup (recipe below)
Juice of one large orange
Chilled Champagne
Pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional but highly recommended)

Orange Simple Syrup
1 orange, peeled
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Directions:
1. Using a vegetable peeler, peel orange rind in long strips and set aside. (You only want the orange portion of the rind only, not the bitter white pith)
2. In a small saucepan combine orange rind, sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool completely. Remove orange rind and discard. Chill simple syrup until you are ready to use it.

To Assemble the Sparkler
1. In a pitcher combine orange simple syrup, pomegranate juice, cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir to combine and chill until ready to serve.
2. To serve cocktail add a few pomegranate seeds to each champagne flute. Fill flutes 1/3 of the way full with juice mixture. Top with champagne.

Grapefruit Juice, a squirt of lemon juice and some 7-up.

 

Cranberry juice and orange juice mixed with some 7-up

 

Punch:

 

1 can frozen lemonaid

1 can frozen limeaid

1 large can pineapple juice (the ones you have to open with a bottle opener--Hi-C type can)

1 quart sherbert (raspberry or lime for Christmas)

1 bottle ginger ale

 

Mix and serve.  I freeze various fruits in a bundt cake pan with prepared limeaid (Cranberries would be nice for Christmas), to keep it cold.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
