So What Drinks Can I Enjoy?

I was talking to the DH yesterday about him missing going out to Don Pablos (mexican restaurant) and really just wanting their Sopapillas (sp?) which are (were for me) tasty fried tortillas with a butter/honey sauce and powdered sugar. I told him maybe we could still go out and have drinks and he could have them on the side.

I'd really like to be able to enjoy some adult beverages so what is safe for me to enjoy? I'm a real fan of rum and martini drinks and margaritas. Obviously mixes should be avoided but anyone have any good favorites?

(I am thinking plastic cup from the other discussion....I've seen those 3 tubs they use....ick!)

My favorite is the mojito. In fact we have them every Monday.

It's just rum, club soda, lime, sugar, and mint.

Outback has some gluten-free mixed drinks on their menu. My favorite there is the No Bull Kiwirita (Margarita made with red bull!) :D

Margaritas are usually ok, especially at mexican places where they mix their own. I was at one place that added beer to theirs, though, so now I always ask about that. I get some strange looks because no one adds beer to margaritas! Somehow I stumbled on the only place in the country that does it.

If you want to make them at home, here's a delicious recipe that doesn't use a mix. I get asked for the recipe every time I make these.

-4 shots tequila

-2 shots triple sec

-1 can frozen limade

-some frozen strawberries

-ice

Blend it up and enjoy!

Thanks! I LOVE mojitos so I'm happy to hear they are safe! I'm just starting to cook at home I think if I throw margaritas in the mix I might not be able to function too well! :P

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      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.
