There's a whole list in the teenagers and young adult section, I'll paraphrase but I know tequila and triple sec are ok. Most rum is ok other than caramel coloring. Anything wine is ok, except for if it's a malted wine cooler. There are more I just can't remember them.

In the other section I believe the thread is under the same topic heading, so check it out. :) Merry Christmas!

i was diagnosed a year ago, and the list of things that i feel safe drinking:

potato vodka (chopin is expensive, but it's the best vodka i've ever tasted and makes a fierce dirty martini, hahaha)

smirnoff vodka, including all flavors

bacardi rum

captain morgan spiced run

wine... oh how i love wine now :-)

woodchuck cider

i also will drink any other plain, unflavored premium vodka that is distilled. the distillation process destroys the gluten protein. however, i've felt yucky after drinking certain vodkas... particularly absolut on a couple of occasions, so i stay away from it. but grey goose and belvedere have been ok. enjoy! i hope this helps!!

Margaritas are usually fine, if you're ordering one out, find out about the mix. Tequila is fine, although as a preference I stay away from Jose Cuervo and go for 1800 or some other that's 100% Agave.

Here's a great recipe:

1 part tequila

1 part grand marnier (or triple sec if you don't want to splurge on gm)

1 part lime juice (regular, not the sweetened kind)

1 part agave nectar

mix well and enjoy! it's the best margarita i've come across yet, and super easy to remember.

One of my favorite drinks, and some will scoff at doing this to a good Cognac but...

Remy Martin VSOP(green bottle) with Virgil's real micro-brewed cola. Made with sugar instead of HFCS and its very smooth and tasty.

I like:

Sake

Wine (my favorite is a brand called Casarsa. It's Italian and very affordable.)

Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum (in silk soy nog...yum!)

potato vodka

DO NOT drink irish cream. I made that mistake last week with O'Mara's, and I'm just now recovering. My boyfriend and I were big on single malt scotch over the past few years but now I'm also afraid to try that, even though it doesn't contain the caramel coloring blended scotches have.

My mom has a recipe for home-made Kahlua and it is easy to make gluten-free. You can even make it decaf if you want. I will post the recipe here as soon as I get it! :)

Potato based Vodka, such as Luskova and Chopin. Tequila in margaritas, you need to know they are 100% agave based. That also leads to less hangovers :) I don't know anything about amaretto.

I really like and miss bourbon and whiskies. After watching the "How It's Made" show, I am concerned about them adding barley malt and/or wheat to the whiskey for flavoring. Even the Makers Mark brand I see listed as safe is made with red winter wheat. I know the distillation process is supposed to make these safe, but at what point is the malt added to the whiskey?

I ask because I drank a quadruple distilled Vokda and I felt poorly the next day after only having 1 drink. (about 1.5 oz.) It was wheat based. So, I no longer believe the distillation process makes the gluten go away.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
