I've been drinking a lot of Canada House Whiskey, which is a really cheap brand, and I haven't had much problem. However this morning I woke up, and felt like I had consumed a little gluten. Now I was drinking out of a couple other peoples cups, so it could have been that. But does anybody know if all whiskey...more specifically Canada House is gluten free?

Most, if not all, whiskeys are not gluten free. For the most part they are made from rye or barley.

If it is distilled, regardless of source, it is gluten free.

ALL distilled alcohol is considered safe for people with Celiac to consume. The distillation process is said to remove the offending gluten from the alcohol.

Now, with that said, we do have a few very sensitive to trace amounts of gluten. Here is a listing found on this site:

I am one of them. If you think you may have an issue always drop the item and then challenge when your feeling good and not taking other risks. I also react to distilled gluten grain vinegars so if you think you react to the whiskey be careful with those also.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Brown sauce? What's that about? What does the color have to do with anything?

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Belle Oops! Can you eat burgers OK? So many of them have added cereal to pad them out. Hope the after-effects are not too bad? I'm OK. Here in SE UK we are having a mini heatwave. 35° today. Keeping cool as much as possible to prevent itching from the heat. Otherwise not too bad thanks. Dapsone 100mg proving much better than 50mg....

      How is everyone? I made a silly mistake and chose HP (brown) sauce on my burger at a BBQ at the weekend. Hope everyone is okay.

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing had been consumed as my legs were itching all over for hours when I went to bed on Sunday. Arrgh!  Actually, my initial thought was corn on the cob as I had that too... and it grows near wheat. Could it also have been that? Are you able to eat that?  I agree with you about the heat, I am finding it tricky too especially at night. I have had 3 itchy nights in a row and am at this point thinking I was silly not to ask about Dapsone at my derm appointment but maybe things will calm down now I am back on being more in control of my food. I also have some more topical steroid coming and that does keep it under control. I plan to visit my son in Scotland for a few days in July so am going to see how things go for a few weeks and if the itch does not calm again, I will do an e-consult with my GP and request Dapsone to try (or something that might just help a bit over that holiday, or longer term). I really don't relish the thought of being in Itch Hell on holiday, just want to enjoy seeing my son and his girlfriend.  So pleased to read that you are feeling more comfortable on the higher dose. I am really pleased for you and long may it continue for you.

Still a few itchy patches but no spots as such. Making life easier.  How are you generally (when not eating brown sauce)? Sue
