This link is straight from the site. Go to the site index and peruse...lots of great info there :)

As for Beer, New Grist and Bard's Tale are gluten free. I've had New Grist (not bad, but very light). Haven't tried Bard's yet.

*Cheers*

I usually get like a good, straightforward red wine...but I remember somebody telling me it may be a while before my tummy handles alcohol really well...

Not sure why of course...

That's a good list but I am certain that some Cognac's add coloring derived from wheat (indeed I have a bottle in my cupboard) ...

The whole grain alcohol issue has been discussed to death... the bottom line is that in some cases some gluten might be transferred ...one bottle might be fine and another from a different batch might not.

Personally I stick to Rums and Tequila (uncolored) for liquor and otherwise drink wine... I do drink cider but Im not 100% certain some types are 100% gluten-free and there is always the problem with draft if they change the pumps.

Also it doesn't agree with me in a non gluten way and gives me GERD.. if I drink a lot.

If you want to be safe then don't take risks... the problem with drinks is we tend to have favorites so its not a one off decision ... if you have a glass a month its one thing but if you like a glass a day its another IMHO...

Being a former beer snob prior to diagnosis in Feb 2006, I would strongly recommend Bard's Tale Beer. New Grist is almost undrinkable. Bard's is a true lager with a nice hop finish. I love it. Even my non-Celiac friends think it's great. New Grist is a faux beer that is almost like sparkling wine. The good thing about Bard's is that it comes from malted sorghum which makes it a real beer.

I am just finishing off my very first gluten-free beer. My bro brought me a 6 pack each of Bards Tale and New Grist. I have been staring at the bottles every day I open my fridge, trying to get my courage up to try them. I was so afraid of being disappointed.............I just couldn't bear it!

I decided to try the New Grist first. This is for all of you non-beer-snobs out there - the New Grist is GREAT! You see, I was not a discriminate beer-drinker. I was a dedicated Bud Light drinker before, and I have not had a beer for a year now. I am so excited that I have found a beer to drink!

From the descriptions I have read here, I am afraid I won't like the Bards Tale, but you never know. I will give it a shot and report back later.

Well, I just finished a Bards Tale beer, and I must say that it is pretty good! It has a stronger flavor than New Grist, but I like them both and am pleasantly surprised.

I am going to have to get some more of both smuggled into West Virginia!

Beer Snobs and Wine Snobs are for the birds...who needs them?

Beer and Wine are both are products of time, labor and creativity (some more than others). They should be appreciated, not judged!

Preferences differ, but when people defame or insult others due to their alcohol preference, I roll my eyes. Apparently, those people are able to cast the first stone...LOL

In any event, I like both beers. I like Bards with a meal and I like New Grist when I want to party.

Also, any liquor that is distilled alcohol without mash being added to it is gluten free.

If you are highly sensitive and want to stay with the 100% safe bets then try these

1. Smirnoff Vodka (made from corn)

2. Bacardi Rum (Sugarcane and no additiives)

3. Chopin Vodka (Potatoes)

5. Glacier Bay Vodka (Potatoes)

6. Siroc Vodka (Grapes)

7. Wines (Grapes)

Also, I have never encountered a Cognac that wasn't made from grapes. I could be wrong...

If you like Midori (melon liquor, bright green color) it is gluten-free as well as DiSorno (sp?) amaretto (sp?). I contacted the company about a year and a half ago and was informed both are gluten-free.

I was definitely not a beer snob before Celiac (Bud Light was my fave - enough said?). As much beer as I used to drink I could not afford to be one :P

I am not a wine snob either - my favorite wine is Brietenbach Frost Fire made in the Amish Country in Walnut Grove, Ohio. It is not the cheapest wine on the market, but it is inexpensive and very sweet.

I am just so tickled I found beer now!

I drink Maker's Mark whiskey with no problem. I remember seeing it on a gluten-free list somewhere. I will see if I can find it.

i was never a beer snob, but beer & wine was all i drank before. getting drunk became quite an experience when i started drinking hard liquor. i now have my limits down to a science! the new grist, though not coors light is a great substitute. there is nothing like a frosty beverage in the amber bottle. most wines are fine - i stick with whites.

for hard liquor, bacardi "O" their orange flavored rum is great. mix it with sprite and you can barely taste the liqour. hence the problems in the beginning. just because you can't taste it doesn't mean it's not there. anyway, also, their vanilla flavored rum with coke is delicious also. i have heard skky vodka is ok, though i haven't tried it. i have also had luksusowa vodka which is fine. it's a polish potato vodka.

happy drinking!

Ha Ha! I know what you mean! When I had to switch from beer to something else, I made the mistake of drinking Jose Cuervo's Strawberry Margaritas. They go down waaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy and fast. It took me a while to figure out how to pace myself. :D

I love New Grist, I drink lots of red wine and absolut vodka. No problems with any since my diagnosis in April 2006. I'm surprised people knock New Grist. I think if you like microbrewed beer with a hoppy tast, you might like it.

I was a former beer drinker, which I still miss dearly. But thank whoever for making gluten-free beer. I did the same thing as you and became a tequila drinker. The drinks sure went down fast and since gluten was giving me the hangovers before, I figured I could have quite a few. I've learned my lesson now and take it a wee bit slower.

I am so glad I am not the only (ex) Bud Light drinker. There is also a gluten free beer that Widmer Brothers out of Portland Oregon are working on. Only available at the brewery for now. Have not had a chance to drive down there and try it but I will soon and report back as a former non-beer-snob. I can't wait to get my hands on some New Grist. Haven't found anything in Washington state yet.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
