What Can I Drink?

I thought I could drink wine, but I had a reaction. I heard that the barrels that wine is made/stored in are sealed with gluten. They don't have to list that as an ingredient although it can get into the wine. I don't know if that's true or not - I only know it had a very negative affect on me. Can I drink soda pop? Can I drink rum? I know there are gluten-free beers and I have tried a couple of them with no problems (at home), you can't buy them at a nightclub. I'm going to a dinner dance Friday night and I'd like to have a drink with my husband. Can someone help me?

Sealed with gluten, never heard of but casein (milk protein) is a common woodglue and many celaics are also casein intolerant...

Not saying you're wrong but I think you could have mixed up the two?

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure about why I had a reaction - looking for answers as I suffer through this. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can drink?

My suggestions are that the jury is out on any grain based liquor .... simply not worth the risk on a regular basis. Some people do and manage?

Some ciders but boy I get sick....

Coke/Pepsi are meant to be OK from a celiac disease POV... obviously they are not healthy.... but then neither is a night on the town :D

What I do is stick to white rums/tequila in liquor and mix with coke/sprite etc. or cuba libre (make sure they don't add commercial syrop) etc.

If you are off with hubby for a night out, (its valentines day here in France) then I would usually suggest sticking to good quality wine.

I personally can't drink champagne ... even the VERY good stuff .. last time I had 2 glasses was Bollinger RD and I spent a day on the loo but I don't think its gluten related....

I have the same problem with low-end whites....

However when Im glutened I also get lots of side effects, brainfog, and other intolerances become prevalent ... I don't get this with champagne so I can only assume its something else....

One special thing about REAL champagne is it is made "On lees" which basically means on the stalks and leaves... Some Canadian beers are made like this too.... and also some cheap wines designed to be drunk young....

I've been wondering the same thing. So for example - do you think a strawberry daquiri would be safe? It's usually made with rum - so I guess it would be the mix that would be worrisome ...?

What about ameretto? I've not been able to find anything on whether that is safe or not. That would be easy to order with a little sour mix - basically OJ and sprite....

I would worry about the caramel color in Amaretto but I can probably find out on the Italian site... they are very good for lists :D

Strawberry Daquiri .... is certainly possible....but you need to check the ingredients.

Basically it SHOULD BE rum, lemon juice, strawberries and sugar

what you need to watch is the bartender doing something fancy or using the fruit syrops etc...or adding triple sec (common) or similar.

Not long ago I ordered a rum and coke, the waitress asked of I wanted lemon or lime so I said OK, lime...

That night was spent in my 2nd bedroom.... the one with the seat with the hole!

I went back next day and asked what she put in.... rum, coke, lime syrop and lime...

This is the prob with sour mix... it depends on the syrops used. Instead I try and go for cuba libre type stuff of capirihna (with normal rum not cahcaca) where the sugar is in the glass .... but you can do the same with a sour-mix.....

Remember this can vary by manufacturer... however this is the only one I call REAL amaretto.

Luksvowa vodka made with 100% potato, and no grain added at the end of process. It's top shelf at Meijer, but not too expensive.

i drink plenty of different white wines with no problems. from nicer wines on down to cheap. but i also love bacardi "o" which is their orange flavored rum mixed with sprite or 7-up. delicious! just be careful if the bar uses one shot glass to measure out the liquor for all drinks. it is usually not washed between drinks. just ask him to not use it, or use a clean one. i have never had a bartender give me a problem with that request. depending on the type of bar, they may have disposable/plastic shot cups anyway.

Gosh, thanks guys. I have more options than I thought. I'll let you know how I do. I always worry because it seems I am tricked by so many little details that I haven't learned about yet. You've been very kind and helpful.

Wow that's a good point, its actually a legal requirement here in France for all glasses and they are meant to do it in front of you... so you can definately insist...

From the fact that I don't think even whisky's and grain liquor have "much gluten" even on a bad batch washing a glass for a measure already makes this (if it was ever there) super dilute.... I know from my own experience I can get away with a single shot of top shelf triple distilled stuff once in a while.... but if I drink it all night (I don't mean blathering drunk) then I usually do react... leastwide it seems that way to me....

celiac disease is all about balancing risks, its unfortunate but that's true... we live in a world of potential CC and hidden gluten so all we can do is make our own luck and get on with life.

I personally chose not to extend that risk to grain alcohol because though i used to love s single malt I am happy enough with Rums and Tequila... and its easy to set a rule when your dealing with alcohol because your judgement on what to risk and what isn't tends to decrease as the night wears on... :D thus I find it easier to set a rule for me.

Some people might not need this but I do or I'd lose my remaining sanity.

Thanks so much for the link to the amaretto! That kind has always been my favorite - so that makes me SO HAPPY!

Here's a great recipe to keep in your freezer or for parties:

4 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup sugar

1 or 2 cups ameretto

1 can frozen OJ (12oz)

1 can frozen lemonade (12oz)

Freeze overnight

Serve with sprite.

Disorono (sp?), the expensive brand of amaretto is safe.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
