Here is one list of what is safe:

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-18107485461.f3

In my pocket Clan Thompson guide, the following are shown as gluten-free: Disaronno; Drambuie; Kahlua, Kahlua Vanilla, Kahlua Hazelnut, from Pernod Ricard (ummm, I haven't tried the second two -- yum); Newport Blue Curacao, Amaretto, Peppermint Schnapps, Sloe Gin, Green Creme de Menthe, from Boisset America; Paul Masson Creme Liquer (chocolate hazelnut or mocha caramel -- hmm, I wonder if they are casein-free?); St. George Aqua Perfecta Raspberry Liquor and Pear Liquor (yum once again). Of course, others could be gluten-free, too. They just list the ones they've checked. Nothing is shown that has gluten.

Frankly, I haven't heard anywhere of any liquers containing gluten. If you have a favorite, you can always contact the manufacturer to make sure. Cheers!

.....Kahlua, Kahlua Vanilla, Kahlua Hazelnut... (ummm, I haven't tried the second two -- yum).....Cheers!

h,

My Dad and I went to the Dallas Home and Garden Show last month and there was a Kahlua booth. It was a pretty nice one too, large with palm trees and sofas, like a tropical lounge. They were making a drink that had Kahlua (of course), cream (I think it was half & half), a little chocolate syrup, and ice. Blended in a mixer.

I was unsure if I should have one as I wasn't entirely sure what was in it and whether it was gluten-free or not. I haven't purposely had any gluten since going gluten-free and am reluctant to blow my record, so to speak. After some observation & consideration I decided it was probably OK. Good decision. It was really tasty. "Yum" as you would say.

My wife rarely drinks, but she will have an occasional Kahlua & cream. I've bought a number of coffee liquer Kahlua wannabes, mostly they're not as good, some are terrible. Thus the price difference I guess.

best regards, lm

Often the manufacturer's web site will have information that is not listed on the bottle. Also a general google search on the name brand and the word "ingredients" will get you some useful information to help determine if a product is safe.

Because sometimes a person just needs some Kahlua in their coffee :P .

Grand Marnier and Bailey's Irish cream are gluten free. I just looked up Grand Marnier and on the FAQ section of their website it says they are gluten-free. I haven't tried Bailey's after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease but it is supposedly ok according to some people around here and a webite or two.

Here is the response from Bailey's:

Q 4. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts. Does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain, which contains gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten-free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

we cannot absolutely guarantee

What they can guarantee is that their @$$ is securely covered by this disclaimer. In my opinion, that's all it is: a CYA statement.

The only liquer I have seen with gluten is the Key Lime one used in Key Lime martinis. It has graham cracker in it. :(

I would always make it a point before trying a new drink in a bar to ask the bartender to read the bottles ... not when they're busy, of course. At one bar, the margarita mix they used had gluten.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
