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!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
