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.... ;)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
