What Gluten Free Tips Drinks For St.pats Do You Have!

Im Irish and this will be my first St.Pats with celiac disease. I've been a bartender for a long time but besides my own brother I don't have to much insite about this topic. So lets help other boozers out and just put what DOES work for you. I've been reading the other topic's and now I have a little insight on some things(from being a bartender for 10 or more years.

So my parents owened a bar for 25 years and I worked there forever and my brother has also had celiac disease for ten years.

1. If you go to any bar(not a jammed club) tell the bartender your deal. Bartenders are usually or should be cool. I might actually be over concerened like a cook is somtimes. Then ask if they have any distilled , triple distilled whiskey's its a normal question. In the old day's the more distilled the weaker the booze(not now a days :rolleyes: )

2. In regards to the POURER or POP GUN. The problem is the bartender is busy and if they accidently hit the wrong button they won't dump your drink(unless you sit at the bar and catch them in the act). So make sure you tell them that to.

3. If you want to be sure your safe order your distilled shot of choice in a snifter or rocks glass with a side of water. FYI don't get a shot because amount wise its smaller then a snifter or rocks glass. ;)

Another safe shot, due to mine and my brothers trial and air is Jager. But get it straight from the Jager machine or bottle from the fridge. There's alot of bad dish cleaning practices in bars and there may be residue from another previously chilled order from sombody else.

Also unless it's just me I had problems with Jose not sure why but then again I had it with OJ FROM THE GUN! And I already understand why it's gluten free(they use the AGAVE plant like other tequilas)

And can anyone find the most current list of Gluten-free drinks??

So good luck and HAPPY ST.PAT'S EVERYONE :)

Hi, I was a bartender for years and just loved the job. Well except for times like when a lady locked herself in the bathroom and beat herself up. :o What a treat that was we had to break down the door.

Anyway back to the topic, your advice is really good and sound. I myself stay away from speedbars also. If I have a drink it is rum and coke and I request the coke be out of can or bottle that I pour myself. I also ask the bartender to rinse the shotglass if they don't free pour.

If the bar has Woodchuck cider I will also go with that. When I went out more I had a couple favorite places that used to get stuff if I asked for it, and I did that myself when I was in the business so folks could ask for Woodchuck or a gluten free beer to be ordered by their favorite haunts if they don't carry it already.

Wine is also a good choice if you know the brand and it is one you normally drink.

In areas where they use a 3 bin wash system with soap, clear and sanitabs it is a good idea to ask the bartender to rinse the glass before making your drink. I only do this with the first drink and then keep the same glass all night to make me less of a PITA.

I am also a zero tolerance gluten person so I do avoid gluten distilled alcohols. I have no choice as I react to them. If you are new to the diet use caution when consuming those until you are sure you are not someone who reacts to distilled gluten. Not all will react but enough of us do to make that caution appropriate.

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
