Question About Everclear


KariBeri84

Recommended Posts

KariBeri84 Newbie

Hello all, My name is Kari and I just recently got a bottle of home made Kaluah from my boyfriend. He makes it with Everclear rather then Vodka. Is Everclear safe for people with Celiac Sprue Disease? And if Everclear is safe, what about all the off brands on Everclear... like Clear Springs? My dad has Celiac and I was wondering if he would be able to have this. If any of you know the answer to this please get back to me soon.

~Kari

I'd be lying if I said that Everclear was considered safe at all...I suppose it would depend on how many times he distills the alcohol, I personally stay away from it because in a lot of states its no longer legal anymore, so you never know how it's made...:)

      Hi Faye,  Sorry I didn't see your post sooner.  I suffered from ataxia as well.  None of my drs. thought it was dairy.  They were wrong.  Turns out lactose intolerance was the cause.  Pancreas just isn't making the enzymes like it used to.  I now drink lactose free milk for the calcium and eat lactose free yogurt by Green Valley, when I can find it.  My ataxia problems vanished.  Hope this helps.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      I give this advice to everyone who is considering quitting their job: always try to line up a new job before you quit. Why? Because it's easier to find a job when you have one--unemployment for a stretch of time can be hard to explain, especially if the period of unemployment is prolonged. Also, unless you're independently wealthy or have family support, people tend to get desperate and take any job when the money is running out, so you could end up in a worse job. Just my 2 cents...

      So, you are not IGA deficient. But as Russ H suggested, it looks like you may be a seronegative celiac.
