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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
