Can any one tell me if these liquers are gluten free. Grand Marnia(sp), kahlua, triple sec, Frangelica?

Thanks

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 .

I thought that we could NOT have Bailey's Irish Cream.

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.

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
