Are you sure it was the Bacardi? What were the other ingredients? Could there have been contamination from another source?

You could be sensitive to milk ingredients. You may need to avoid lactose and/or casein as well as gluten. Most celiacs have lactose intolerance when first diagnosed, since the villi are the source of the lactase enzyme needed to digest lactose, and there is no lactase until the villi have healed enough to resume producing it.

Bacardi is not derived from a gluten-containing grain. It is gluten-free even before it is distilled. I have enjoyed it on a regular basis, and have never had a reaction after drinking it. I am sipping on some Bacardi Gold as I write this. :D

I'm not doubting that you had a severe reaction; I'm just wondering what the cause actually was.

And (TMI Warning!) I have been in the exciting celiac postion of sitting on the toilet with explosive diarreah while simultaneously vomiting into a bucket. UGH! Only another celiac could understand how this feels. :(

ARE YOU SERIOUS! Maybe it wasn't the Bacardi... the recipe calls for cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, butter and brown sugar.

So far I have been gluten free for 2 months today (applause) and I have been having no troubles with lactose as of yet... ya think maybe it was the butter?

LOL I don't think when Celiac is concerned there is ever TMI! B):D

What brand of spices were they? McCormick will label any gluten ingredients and all of their single ingredient spices are for sure gluten-free. You also need to look at what you ate for the two or three days before the reaction occured, often our reactions are delayed. It can be hard to figure out what got us at times. Also there could be the factor of the condition of your liver and pancreas, did you have more than one drink or two? Celiac can effect the function of those organs so it may even be your body telling you it is not ready for alcohol yet of any kind. The Bacardi should be safe, I haven't had it in a while but unless it was something new and flavored last time I checked their rum was safe. The only rums I have ever heard of that weren't safe were ones loaded with flavorings.

As ravenwood glass points out ... delayed reactions are not only possible but seem common for me.

This can be UTTERLY FRUSTRATING ....

I find I have random events for 4-6 WEEKS ... the first 1-2 days Its 'mostly' then the rest of the week its diminished .. then its like my body suddenly finds this bit that was locked away and I randomly get glutened.

Previously I had 100% control on my diet.. 100% gluten-free kitchen... and everything I ate made from fresh ingredients, no tins, packets or anything. This is how i found out how long these delayed reactions last. The ore gluten-free experience you get... and the more little slips the more distinctive the feeling becomes. We talk about 'brain fog' etc. , its a very specific feeling...

I drink bacardi when I go out. I have never had a gluten reaction to it, but it does have very much the laxative effect if I drink too much. It also plays havoc on my blood sugar levels, which makes me very nauesous and shaky.

Hmmmm well I am going with the butter theory. I have had awful butter experiences (mashed potatoes at restaurants, cause I never use it here to cook) and it was almost immediate when I had the reaction.

I am going to kick out dairy and soy.

I used Spice Islands spices. And the nutmeg was Dean & Deluca.

And I haven't drank Bacardi since I went gluten free, I had no trouble in the past, and I only had 1 shot! in 1 drink...

thx! :)

Are all of your spices new. Anything you used before being gluten free should be thrown out. To much chance for CC. Also, and this is a big one. What about your pans? Did you bake gluten in them before? Last christmas I replace EVERYTHING! Rolling pins, muffin tins, bread pans.... I had to use some tin foil ones for a while because the process was expensive. But I am safe and that is all that matters.

Good Luck. I think if make these alterations you should be able to do your butter rum cake. Then maybe you could share your recipie. Like what kind of flour did you use? Thanks!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
