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.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
