I have coeliacs but still suffering from fat malabsorption and bone issues even though been gluten free for months. I never drink alcohol because of my stomach problems but I am going to have a little drink and just wondered which is the best alcohol to drink. I was thinking of drinking vodka and wondered if this would be okay and also what drink could I add to it. Thank you very much.

Yeah vodkas usually safe thats what I usually drink. I'm not 100% sure if all vodkas are gluten free but I know most are. Smirinov is for sure so I just stick with that. I usually mix it with sprite and a bit of water. Other then that most hard liquors are gluten free, one I know of for sure is Gin. Gin and tonic's always a safe bet and all wines are also gluten free.

I love red wine :) If I were going for vodka, I would have a screwdriver (vodka w/ 100% pure orange juice). Vodka can go with almost anything: cranberry juice is another nice option. Enjoy whatever you decide.

Cheers,

Jillian

I only do potato vodkas. They claim many of the grain ones are ok because of the distillation, but I swear if I drink even a few sips of a grain vodka, I fell out of it, but I can drink a glass of potato vodka & be just fine. Some wines are ok, but some places uses wine in the barrels, etc. So I always check online before i try anything.

Smirnoff vodka is made entirely from corn. There are other beverages with the Smirnoff brand name which are not gluten-free. In particular, Smirnoff Ice is usually malted barley, not distilled corn (it varies from state to state and country to county based on local law).

I'm very sensitive and have not had a problem with wine. I've had wines from all over the world.

I tend to stay away from the mixed drinks. Mixed drinks have caused me problems on at 3 occasions in recent memory. Not pretty.

I've decided wine or gluten-free beer when available.

Wine is my choice when dining out. No worries there.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails.
