Grand Marnier/margs

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.... ;)

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
