(Product was formerly known as Amaratto)

Thank you for your inquiry to Disaronno.com. I have checked with the manufacturer in Italy and Disaronno is completely Gluten free.

If you still have questions, we suggest you contact your doctor as to whether or not you should consume such beverage products before consumption.

Best Regards,

Be on the lookout, Disaronno is a fairly good amaretto, and is less likely to be used in mixers than straight up (or less mixed) drinks. There are a lot of other amaretto's out there (which I also suspect are gluten free, but if you go by the "if I haven't seen it personally verified" rule...)

You're right about that. The good stuff is a little pricey, and so many bars & restaraunts use less expensive versions. I myself needed some for a recipe I was making last year (BC-before celiac) and being too cheap to buy the good stuff for cooking, I bought a brand called STOCK Amaretto dell'Orso, imported fron Italy. It's 28% alcohol, 56 proof. Was a little disappointed in the taste, but not having any of the more expensive version, I couldn't compare them. Wouldn't have the slightest idea if it has any gluten in it.

When I lived in Italy, we drank Disaronno all the time. . .mmmm. . .not just for mixers though. . .makes a lovely shot. . .sweet and smooth (be very careful not to drink too many though . . .the hangover is worse than champagne. . .). When we did mix, we usually drank it in peach juice with a splash of amaretto and a splash of white bubbly. .. don't know if it's a "real" drink, but we used to call it an Etruscan. ..

Very true. House liquors are usually awful.

However, the bar I work at only stocks Disaronno. And I'M the one making the shots.

That's quality control for ya!

Oooh, something new to try! How exciting. (As a pointless side note, I love Disaronno's commercials. They totally did their marketing job and made me want to try it).

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
