Gluten Free Alcohol

Any suggestions for Gluten free alcohol that is fully gluten free (other than wine). I have a list of brands from an online site, but I don't see most of the brands from that list in my local store. Last year, I got some brandy of a different brand than on the list, and just in case, e-mailed them about possible gluten. I wasn't worried and drank some that night. Felt bad the next day and then the e-mail returned with "yes, trace amounts of gluten." Definitely no dairy either. I'm interested in Rum, Brandy, Vodka & Kaluha substitute (Kalua has dairy I was informed) -- Made in USA preferable.

Thanks - I don't know why I didn't notice the list on this cite as well. Anybody with info on particular brand names that they have already called? I'm a bit concerned b/c my last assumption that Brandy would be gluten free - turned out wrong. Just don't want to start contacting them all, if someone has already done it! Thanks.

There are some here that cannot handle distilled alcohol at all. You may be sensitive to it as well.

This obviously isn't exhaustive, but it is the best list of beverages I've seen:

Thanks, that's a great list! Ever seen any list that include dairy/casein? Most alcohols don't have it, but liquors can. I'm wondering about rum, butter? I don't know why -- maybe just the hot butter rum thing?

I've seen a casein-free beverage list. But it was designed for those who put their kids on Gluten-free Casein-free diets, so no alcohol B)

I know Bailey's is out; at least some of Godiva's liqueur's would be too. I think you need to read the ingredients for any combo type product like this. I don't see why straight rum would be a problem.

If you are really sensitive to casein, you may need to be careful which wines you use. Some are "fined" (sediment removal) using casein. I've seen folks here say they have reacted to particular wines before and I even ran across a study saying it is possible.

Unfortunately, wines do not have to list their fining agent yet. There is a proposal now to require allergen listing on wine in the US (in addition to milk, there may be egg, fish [yes, you read that right -- it's another fining agent], and even gluten [barrels glued together with a wheat-based glue]). The vintners are fighting this.

If you want to be careful in this respect, you need to stick with vegan wines. You can google and find lists of them.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
