We're meeting some friends in Reno tomorrow night and I have no idea what to drink. I'm one of the lucky ones who has a reaction to vodka, so that's out. Don't like Rum, plus it always gives me a hangover. I've been sick a bunch this week, so I'm not in the mood to question the bartender about every ingredient. I just want something simple and straightforward.

If Seven and Seven (Seagram's 7 and 7-up) is gluten-free, I'm going to stick with that. And if anyone can tell me what Seagram's 7 is made from exactly, that would be helpful. If not, other possibilities I'm wondering about are -

Scotch and Soda

Gin and Tonic

Tequila Screwdriver

Thanks everybody.

:D

Nancy, who says you have to drink alcohol? Just stick with pop if you question the ingredients of alcoholic beverages. Plus, if you aren't feeling good already, the alcohol might make it worse. I hate alcohol, it has never agreed with me. I don't care about being teased, NOBODY can get me to drink any. Enjoy the company without drinking with them!

I have to go with the person who said you don't have to drink at all. Alcohol is tricky, many are okay with some distilled grains, but many are not. The time to figure out whether you tolerate a 7&7 is when you are completely well. You need to challenge alcohol the same way you would a suspect food. In a moderate amount like a couple drinks after dinner, for a minimum of 3 days with no other suspect items. If you haven't had a reaction in a week then you will know you tolerate it.

I have no issues with Seagrams 7 & 7-up, and throw an orange slice in there too.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.
