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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
