Hey Lister - happy birthday.

Just wanted to tell you to be careful, as you have had so many stomach issues, perhaps alcohol wouldn't be the best idea. Not trying to tell you what to do - just don't want to see you hurt.

Hi Lister,

I have no idea about your stomach issues, sorry. I will dispense with the be careful, have a designated driver and all that. I am sure you know that already. I have checked on a few alcohols here is what I found out. Bacardi rums safe, Woodchuck hard apple cider, Makers Mark whiskey, and Midori liquer.

I hate to rain on your parade but IMHO your stomach is going to take a lot longer to heal than 21 days. Couldn't you postpone the celebration for a while? Alcohol can be very irritating. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Have a Happy Birthday no matter what you decide.

Happy early birthday!!! Yesterday was my 21st b-day, but I was too scared to try anything.

I'm glad to see you're feeling better and looking forward to things. I see you're already aware of beer and malt based liquor drinks. It seems to be trial and error with each individual. Me - I'm strictly tequila. Bourbon, whiskey and scotch are supposedly safe, but give me wicked wicked hangovers - even before I developed celiac. Vodka sometimes leaves me a little "icky" but not bad. Rum is okay. Have fun! Let us know how it was after you, uh, recover.

I am still learning the ins and outs myself.. the only thing I drink out right now is wine. I was never a hard liquor drinker, I liked my occasional cold beer. Ho hum..

Well either way.. Have a very Happy Birthday!! ;)

Happy Birthday! Personally, I say have a great time. Be safe, but as long as you avoid gluten, I can't imagine one night of drinking is going to do you a lot of harm. It isn't the best thing for you, but we still have to have fun even when we are recovering. I still remember my 21st birthday and I don't think it would have been the same if I was sober.

Does anyone know if flavored vodka is gluten-free? I'm specifically wondering about Stoli. I can't find an email address or phone number anywhere for them. I just don't know if the flavoring is gluten-free, since I know the plain vodka is ok.

Cassidy,

I do not know about Stoli. I do know that Bacardi flavored rums ar gluten-free.

Many of the vodka mixer drinks are not actually made with vodka but just the fermented mash since they would only add water later anyway.

I also recommend being careful...you'll have plenty of time ahead for a few drinks. I would wait till your system has time to heal and get back up to par. When the time comes this info should be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-22106592297.2a

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
    • Jmartes71
      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
