Gluten Free Moonshine


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

I was recently approached by one of my customers who makes moon shine grain free. He is proud that him and one of his other celiac friends came up with the process and got it down. They do craft different flavors with fruit sometimes but most of the time the main brew is simple white oak wood chips, Imperial cane sugar and yeast, fermented and distilled down. I tried a sip...can not enjoy due to my UC but for such a high proof it is very smooth. I found it amusing that such a good alcohol can be made grain free with great flavor. Just wanted to throw the concept out there, the process seems very simple with endless possibilities using fruits for craft flavors. I did not ask about other woods, but I think the oak he uses gives it a nice....almost whisky tint, but without the harsher bite, after tinge I recall seems to be a bit like a cross between rum and something else.

      A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

      I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are consuming them daily, even that tiny amount could theoretically accumulate over time to cause an immune response (elevated IgG) without triggering your acute symptomatic response (which is often IgA-mediated). Since your son, the perfect control subject, doesn't eat them, this is an excellent hypothesis to test. I would recommend a strict elimination trial: remove the crackers completely for 4-6 weeks and then re-test your IgG levels. If the numbers drop significantly, you have your answer. Other less obvious sources to consider if the crackers aren't to blame include any other new packaged goods (spices, nuts, chocolate, supplements), a change in the recipe of a trusted product, or even lipstick or toothpaste. Your methodical approach is exactly what will solve this mystery.

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.
