hi, all!

hope everyone is doing well. i have another alcohol question and i'm hoping someone can help me out.

the nice man at the liquor store just gave me a free miniature of Kleiner Feigling Vodka "with natural fig flavor added". i am hoping i can drink it and see what it tastes like. can't say i've ever had a fig drink before! :) the website, though, is in german, and i can't seem to locate any info on its contents. so that's the 1st question -- anybody know anything about German vodka?

the second question is, i know that distilled grain alcohol is ok for most of us... should i obsessively check on gluten-free status of products in this alcohol family? or only when it is flavored? i'm kind of confused... when i started this journey, my dietitian said no alcohol but wine, rum and tequila. i was very excited to learn i have more options than that. it has been slow going learning what all is still out there that i can have though! :D

You really should check it since it is flavored. There could be gluten added with the flavoring.

Distilled alcohol loses the gluten in the process but this theory is debated here back and forth.

Some people can't even have the distilled alcohol as you stated. I've had vodka since being diagnosed and I think its ok for me.

In the U.S. "natural" anything flavor means it's made from just that. Natural cherry flavor is made from cherries. I cannot tell you for certain it applies to imports.

      Kan-101

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products...

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be...

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
