Hi I was diagnosed with Celiac about a year ago and was just wondering if anyone had some good gluten free drinks to suggest. I definately miss beer. I've been drinking mostly Vodka because I know its made from potatos. I was curious if anyone knew is rye whiskey is Gluten free. I've heard that the disstillation process takes out the gluten but I'm not sure if its 100% safe. Rye is pretty popular in Canada so it would be nice to have that as an option. Other than vodka and wine what are the best gluten free alcoholic beverages.

Here is a listing of a few. All distilled alcohols are considered safe:

So as I take baby steps out, I'm drinking:

plain absolute

absolute and kahlua (black russian)

Redbridge (yum! and I don't usually care for beer) Kind of darker and lagery) New Grist is more like a Bud or other mass marketed beer and Bards tale is somewhere in between.

Kahulah and cream if I can find a soy creamer.

I hope you find some more recommendations, because I'll be watching.

Oh, and when you go to a wedding and skip the meal, have not had any considerable amount of liquor in a year, and then fill up on black russians, you are more likely than normal to accidentally sip from your sister-in-law's glass-o-gluten. Avoid that error.

I"m not a fan of redbridge too much b/c of the metallic aftertaste, but if you can find Green's beers anywhere I highly suggest them!!! It doesnt have an aftertaste and even my gluten eating friends like it. It isn't JUST LIKE the beer you always had, it has a sweetness to it. One of my friends said its like a mixture of wine and beer. I've tried the triple blonde and amber ale's - both really good. just dont expect REAL beer. But it is closest to the real thing.

My non-Celiac husband has tasted Green's beer and he loves them! It is from a Belgian micro-brewery and there are 2 different types. One is a lighter type ale and the other is more of a darker lager. We paid $6.50 for a pint. Seems pricey but it has twice the alcohol content of American beers so one beer is more like drinking 2! I had to drive home...... :lol:

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
