hey everyone!

I'm finally old enough to go out for drinks!

Can anyone help me out with what drinks are usually safe so I don't have to ask the bartender every time? I go to some loud bars and clubs with my friends and its hard to communicate my needs.

I usually stick to wine and tequila but I'm getting sick of them (for obvious reasons with the tequila!)

Thanks for the help!

The quick answer is just about all of them ;) .

Skip the creams in case they have malt, but most hard liquors are gluten-free.

I also drink cider at bars that mostly have beer. Wyder's is pretty reliable. Their website references celiac.com when talking about gluten.

Be sure to ask about mixers. Once I was at a bar and wanted a margarita, their margarita mix had wheat in it! :blink:

Cosmopolitans (cosmos) are good drinks. It's a vodka martini with cranberry juice and triple sec.

Also, mojitos are popular in many places. They're made from rum with soda, sugar syrup and mint. The ones at Cheeseburger in Paradise are very good and they have a gluten-free menu!

thanks!

So can I always depend on cosmos and mojitos being gluten-free?

I'm still a little uneasy about the whole vodka from wheat business.....is it always gluten-free in bars?

thanks!

(getting glutened at a club from my drink is one of my biggest fears! The 8 month pregnant look that gluten gives me isnt so cute! lol )

I always ask for potato vodka or Smirnoff if they don't have potato. There is debate about the distillation process ... it's supposedly safe and removes the gluten, but some people seem to be sensitive to liquors made from grains.

Unflavored traditionally made mojitos are safe. If it's flavored, you might ask what they use.

For a cosmo, I generally ask what kind of cranberry juice they use, but I don't know that any cranberry would be a problem.

You can always have a rum and Coke.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.
