Does anyone know if Grand Marnier is gluten-free? Or does anyone just order a margarita & assume it is gluten-free or do you have to always ask the ingredients of a margarita? Not that I will ever find a babysitter to go have one just dreaming here but if I do I want to be prepared.

Believe me margaritas are okay!!!!! Unless you're allergic to corn products. But Grand marnier and tequila are gluten-free!!! Not everything has been taken away from us!

You have to be careful with some of the margarita mixes that they use. If they make the margarita from scratch, it's safe.

I looked on the delphi list of alcoholic beverages and couldn't find Grand Marnier anywhere on it..... not sure if it is gluten-free or not.....

On the Grand Marnier message board:

Re: Gluten-free?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Amy and welcome to our board

You can rest assured that Grand Marnier is certified Gluten free therefore it is totally safe to drink for Celiacs like yourself.

Best regards,

Why does Grand Marnier need a message board? :huh: That message was left by the administrator.

Grand Marnier is definitely gluten-free. I can't comment on margaritas - I never was into them and have not investigated them. The tequila is safe, but I don't know about the other ingredients.

As the margarita queen of my soccer team

(I bring 'em * they drink'em):

I have found that you have to be careful of which

mix is used. I have also reacted to "a shot" of

tequila - it didn't taste like the brand I ordered

but I definitely knew it was that (I brought my

own food). I have been told that the cheaper

brands are sometimes "cut down" at the bar

- lord knows with what.

And I always ask for the glass to be washed out.

I learned that if there is lots of flour "in the air"

it can stick to the glasses unbeknownst to us.

So to be on the safe side, drinking an all agave

tequila is the way to go especially if you have

any other food tolerances or allergies. Inquire

as to the mix, it will make a difference. And if

you order it "on the rocks" it won't come from

one of those machines which may have almost

any kind of mixture in it.

As for the Grand Marnier - I personally didn't

do to well with it for some reason so I basically

make my own with Triple Sec.

just my 2 tequila cents.... ;)

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
