My son wrote Jack Daniels and emailed me their reply stating that they are gluten free. It didn't matter to him that I prefer Makers Mark (also gluten-free) but to him life without Jack would be the pits. So, enjoy your Jack and yes most Vodka is fine. Contact the company first to make sure, but I know Skyy is okay. Cheers! ;) Be sure to stay away from beer unless it's the Rampo Valley gluten-free rice beer!

Used to drink beer, after 2 I was in agony... I wondered why until recently.

I drink Barcardi Lymon Rum... I have switched quite a few beer drinkers to it. With a twist and Sprite, its very good.

:unsure: i dont understand this whole alcohol thing--so--if we can have jack daniels B) why cant i have my wine cooler that is jack daniels--its black eyed jack or something--its cranberry with jack daniels in it :o ---i love peachtree schnapps and recently my sister told me i could have it, but i think it made me sick--could be i got sick because my system isnt used to drinking--never have been much of a drinker and i understand we absorb alcohol quicker now after being gluten-free ;) anyways--i guess i still shy away from the booze <_< deb

there's probably malt added into those jack d wine cooler type drinks, a lot of (if not all?) of those quasi-hard liquor drinks have malt that i've seen

so better just to stick to the straight up whiskey :)

"Cooler" products are actually just flavored beers, made by a similar process as beer brewing. Distilled spirits generally separate from any gluten during distillation.

the only thing I have found that semi replaces beer is

Woodchuch amber cider, it about the same alcohol content and calories and you

don't have to mix anything.

gluten-free for 10 months.

I do drink the Amstel lights, as if they were food they would fall below the gluten free threshold in europe.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
