I love mike's hard lemonade and smirnoff drinks, but i'v heard they are not gluten free. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick, cheap, chick beers that i can enjoy with friends and not worry about the stomach ache afterward?

A glass of Sprite plus a shot (or two) of vodka and a splash of lemon juice. It's quick because everything comes out of a bottle and it tastes VERY similar to Mike's Hard Lemonade when you get the proportions right. I used to drink this all the time before I acquired a taste for beer.

Woodchuck cider. I like the pear.

I'm a huge fan of fox cider. Says gluten-free on the bottle, comes in apple, pear and black currant. Super nummy stuff. I'm also a fan of Magners over ice, but that can be hard to find in the US away from large Irish populations. Ace cider is also gluten-free.

Woodchuck cider is the best, I absolutely love the stuff. You can pretty much order it at any bar, and it is carried in most grocery stores and ABC stores. I've tried the Redbridge gluten free beer, its ok, but I'll stick to woodchuck.

Mike's new lite version states gluten free on the box! But it still states it is a malt beverage so I emailed them and here is their new response! Things have come a long way in the last several years!

Thank you so much for contacting mike

Besides, despite the fact that this is an international board so legal drinking ages vary, should we really be talking about alcohol on the teenager board?

This thread is resurrected from 2008. It is for teens & young adults. If alcohol is what they want to talk about, I guess that's was Ok. Too late nowv.

I think you missed this line of the previous post "multi stage filtration process which removes all gluten". This filtration process, which happens in MOST alcohol, eliminates the gluten content. This goes for Vodka's as well. The product, although origingally containing malt, goes through such an intensive filtration and purification that the malt content of gluten is eliminated completely. The test refered to are the same as those that certified Gluten-Free food undergo to get their approval.

No I didn't miss it. Some of us react to very slight amounts of gluten and some of us do react to distilled gluten. Malted beverages are not something we should consume no matter how 'filtered' they are.

I know I react to vodka, which caught me by surprise given all I've heard/read about the distillation and filtration processes removing gluten. Clearly I must be super sensitive, and not the only one who's come to this realization. That being said, I tend to stick to wine (if you like sweet/fruity drinks try moscato, barefoot moscato is really cheap in the states and DELICIOUS), woodchuck cider, and 100% agave tequila (since it states it clearly on the bottle and therefore requires no googling or phone calls).

As for the whole discussing alcohol thing: I'm 24 and consider myself a young adult as far as health/medical history things go.

Anyways, best of luck! Trial and error seems to be the only way to figure out your sensitivity level, as much as that stinks. Personally I figured out the vodka thing after eating neurotically gluten free for a week, having my first drink all week, and vomiting 1/2 an hour later. On the bright side, now I know!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
