Alcohol

I have been researching, trying to figure out which types and brands of alcohol are safe for celiacs but I have been finding alot of conflicting/contradicting information.

What is the deal with alcohol distilled from grains?

What brands of alcohol are not distilled from any grains at all?

What sorts of drinks does everyone enjoy that they dont get sick from?

"What is the deal with alcohol distilled from grains?"

The deal with distilled gluten alcohol really amounts to... some of us react and some of us don't. It seems that folks that have more neuro impact, like depression and anxiety have more of an problem with it. Those folks will also usually not tolerate gluten grain distilled vinegars either. The only way to really know if you react is to eliminate them both until you are well healed and then do a challenge by consuming the suspect item for a week. Intolerance reactions can be delayed so you might not react for up to a week, the usual person reacts within a 3 day period though.

"What brands of alcohol are not distilled from any grains at all? "

The Celiac Sprue Association website has a good guide for that:

"What sorts of drinks does everyone enjoy that they dont get sick from?"

I like wine, usually I look for an organic no sulfites added variety and mix it with a soda of some kind. I also like gluten-free beer like Redbridge on occasion. I leave the harder stuff to others.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      No, Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD. I take both of these and a B Complex.

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Glutened

      By Oliverg · Posted

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks
