I love me a margarita, there is nothing better than a little salt and that cuervo-y goodness :D

Just plain old tequila shots are excellent, too. I normally drink cheapo cuervo, but I have fancy stuff I save for special occasions...

Although there are some days when I'd rather have my tequila intravenously :blink:

I'm also a fan of Red Bull & vodka, and starburst shots (flavored vodka dropped into red bull and chugged) they're kind of like girly, gluten free irish car bombs :ph34r:

I learned that shot from former sorority girls that have at least 5 years on me and drank my wimpy butt under the table... :blink:

Funny- years before I ever had problems with any food I always got sick from beer. For some reason vodka makes me really sick too.

I love margaritas. I pay for the better liquors when I get drinks since I'm small and only need 1 or 2 to get drunk. I get mine with Herradura or Sauza. Cuervo is just gross to me. You probably have to watch out for some margarita mixes but lots of restaurants make them from scratch. I also like a lot of rum drinks.

I usually drink cider if I'm in a pub.

popoki321 Rookie

What a fun topic! :D

I like Hard Cider ( even before dx- I never drank beer)

I used to love Mikes Hard Lemonade but now I will have to make my own with vodka and lemonde.

I like Mojitos..maybe even love them. My favorite summer drink.

I really like red wine, right now I am on chianti kick.

I also really like Sangria although I haven't had it in awhile.

I LOVE margaritas, I make them with any good tequila, Newman's Lime Aid, a splash of lemon juice..on the rocks in a salted glass.

Wow...I wish it wasn't 3 in the afternoon otherwise I'd actually have one of these yummy drinks right now.

I am definately a fruity drinker :D But i was wondering if all fruit juices are gluten free...like tropicana, dole, ocean spray, etc. I havent drank since being diagnosed, but my birthday is coming up and I am due for a drink. Is it safe to drink in bars? Thanks guys

I know that Kahlua is gluten-free, but does anyone know the ingredients? I looked it up and couldn't find it.

Hey I don't know all the ingredients but I do know that it has milk/cream dunno which but I can't do dairy so that ruled it out for me. The bottles have the ingredients on them, or atleast the one I found did! good luck

If you like rum you will love Captain Morgans spiced rum original and the private booty.

My favorite is Smith and Kearns.....Creme De Cocoa, cream and seltzer. Grown up version of chocolate milk, goes down smooth and easy. This is often made with Kaluah, but I like my version. Barbara

FYI,

Smirnoff is distilled from Corn (just in case anyone with a corn allergy is thinking of trying it)

Here are some potato vodkas:

1. Chopin

2. Llewlowosa

3. Teton Glacier

4. Blue Ice

Are any vodkas made from other grains like wheat? Vodka has always made me sick but I'm not sure why.

tasha Apprentice

Yep, the Smirnoff Twists are gluten-free, my drink of choice! The strawberry is my favorite.

My question is about liqueurs....are all of them okay? I don't really know much about their ingredients.

Thanks

lorka150 Collaborator

sasha, thanks for the info. that was my concern, too. i found a mock kahlua recipe and i'm going to test it out sometime. :)

WGibs Apprentice

I hardly ever drink, but my favorites are: red wine, grand marnier, champagne, and margaritas on the rocks with salt.

jkmunchkin Rising Star
Ketel one, on the rocks, w/ a lime. OR a ketel one martini straight up w/ a twist. Those are my drinks. But ive never been known to turn down a nice glass of red wine either...

No wonder we get along so well.. Ketel One with 7 and lemon (or lime) for me. :)

I recommend Lukosawa - it's inexpensive Polish vodka made from potatoes.

Kahlua, Kamora, & Amarula are gluten free.

I went to Baileys site, under frequently asked questions. Quote:

Q 4. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts. Does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain, which contains gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten-free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

So you think that means the regular smirnoff ice is gluten-free too? Hope so, I have been drinking them with no problem....

I do not drink Smirnoff Ice, however, I do know that it is either not gluten free in Canada or America... I'm sorry, I forget which one. But I wanted to warn you, and perhaps someone else can clarify this.

Smirnoff Ice is NOT gluten free in the United States, it is a malted beverage...

Thank you for clarifying that! But it is gluten-free in Canada, then. I knew it was one or the other.

What got cut off there? Or what is Twisted V? Is it vanilla ? Because I think I've been drinking that.

Thanks,

i dont drink so i dont have a favorite, BUT i just thought id tell you guys.. i bartend and id be careful drinking mixed drinks because the "gun" that all the sodas come out of defintely get EVERY SINGLE kind of liquor on the tip and it stays in it.

i used to always drink the sprite out of the gun and now whenever i drink out of the gun (even the water)

i feel glutened :(

so i tell people who are gluten-free to drink something we have that comes out of cans.. like grapefruit, pineapple,redbull.. or something along those lines.

margaritas are good too because its just tequila, cointreau and lime juice.

but maybe im just super sensitive.

let me know if anyone else has experienced this.

(or if anyone wants good drink recipes :P )

thank you for this advice!!! i am definitely sensitive enough that this matters.

what happens when you're at a restaurant where the drinks all come from a full-service bar - is there a way to get water not from the gun? :blink: (so many things to think about!!!)

thanks again,

paula

There are a few more vodkas out there that are made from potatoes:

Zygo- Only a few years old...it is a Peach flavored vodka with some of the ingredients that can be found in Red Bull and other energy drinks. This vodka was developed after the Red Bull and Vodka craze hit. Tastes pretty good too! www.zygotopia.com

44 North- Relatively new Huckleberry infused potato vodka...has a different taste and is very mixable.

www.rockymountainvodka.com

Teton Glacier- Usually found in a squat rounded bottle that is a good value. www.glaciervodka.com

Harnas Vodka- I did some searching and found this potato vodka as well. Not sure if you can find it in any U.S. stores though.

Monopolowa Vodka- Product of Eastern Europe...looks like it got a good review, but never had it yet.

Victory Vodka- Made from 3 varieties of potatoes (Stobrawa, Mila, Glada) if that means anything to you!

Open Original Shared Link or Open Original Shared Link

You can buy some of these vodkas there...

Also, if you can find it, 3 Vodka is made out of Soy--never had it but it sounds interesting!

www.3vodka.com

There are other vodkas that you will find by searching the net, but they are harder to find locally.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
