The Liquor List - Actual Experiences

I know this topic has probably been beaten to death as far as what liquors contain gluten, used to contain gluten, and have had gluten removed.

 

I've been gluten free for nearly 15 years now and I left alcohol alone for a long time except red wine but that time came to an end a few years ago and I am trying to put together some experiences of others to figure out what can/cannot be had, or what causes the reaction.

 

Has anyone ever compiled a list of what makes them react, and what does not?

 

I can drink Omission Lager by the 6 pack and feel perfect while I've heard tons of others have a bad reaction.  I love bourbon...I can take a sip of Makers Mark and feel terrible.  Basil Haden does OK by me.  JW Black and Blue I feel fine but Blanton's gives me fits.  Willet, Journeyman, and Angels Envy I feel fine.

 

Japanese whiskeys like Hibiki and Kikori(although this is 100 percent rice) I feel fine but Toki(made by the same company has Hibiki) I feel ill within 20 minutes.

 

Would some of you mind posting things that do/do not make you react?  I know a lot of people also forgo trying different things because of one bad experience but any info some could provide would be helpful.

Reactions to alcohol may not just be autoimmune in nature, but due to a damaged gut from an autoimmune disorder.  So, hard to say what can be blamed on wine and hard liquor.  I know that when either my celiac disease is triggered or my autoimmune gastritis is flaring (no known trigger), I can not drink any alcohol.  I follow standard celiac recommendations usually sticking with wine or some vodka.  

As far as Omission beer, I am going to continue to avoid it until the research is complete.  I am adhering to th Gluten Free Watchdog’s advice:

I just had a recent endoscopy that revealed a healed small intestine.  I would be interested to know that if you consumed an Omission beer daily for a few months and then had an endoscopy, what would it reveal?

I keep Austin Ciders in the fridge for guest (my dad is a long time beer guy and he says they are great he like the honey one), I also have a local brewer who makes moon shine with just white oak chips, yeast, and sugar...I have a few jars of it. I cook with Admiral Nelson Rum, I keep the coconut one and plain for cooking same with some non corked barefoot white and red wine Just a splash in some dishes with water to deglaze pans and add a splash of flavor (chef work). and have a vanilla Admiral Nelsons Rum in the cupboard for guest. I have Ciroc vodka made from grapes on that same shelf, and I do not recall the brand but I had a taquilla but someone finished it off. I have heard good things about ace ciders and a few others. I personally can not drink due to ulcerative colitis. I instead use watkins rum extract, amoretti wine extracts, or Lor Ann Sparking wine extracts...just 4-6 drops to a glass of tea, bubbly water, or zevia no sugar soda.....dumb but it helps give me that liquor flavor.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
