Bourbon / Whiskey

Hi

I am wanting to have a few drinks but since been diagnosed with celiac disease I have gone very healthy a little obsessed I would say about eating the right foods and looking after my body to help with the recovery from the damage.

I have only drank once in the last eight months and that was wine, I had a terrible headache and diarrhea the next day, maybe a few too many wines but still the same I am not really a wine drinking, don't really enjoy it, I have always been a bourbon or Whiskey drinker.

What have you found to be the best or safest Bourbon or Whiskey? I understand the whole fermentation so there should not be any gluten although I would love to hear from those who drink it. I used to mainly drink Jim Bean Zero because DH is a T1 diabetic so we have to go with the zero sugar.

Thanks

Lisa :)

I have read that the distillation process makes liquor safe, but that some companies throw in more grains during that process in some of the U.S. bourbons. Or that's been my understanding of what's been said. I have gone to drinking Scotch Whisky instead....again, my understanding that the process is better, and I haven't had any problems with it. Hopefully, someone will explain better that I can.

Hello. When I went to the CSA conference this year, Dr. Robert Greene, the foremost thinker and researcher on celiac disease from Columbia University, said that we could quote him on this. Any alcohol that has been through the distillery process except beers and ales is gluten free! So drink what you want. That is one thing celiac disease hasn't taken from us yet.

Hope to help,

Brooklyn

Southern Comfort is my all-time favorite. That or Seagrams Gin (in the bumpy bottle) with some grapefruit juice :)

There is only ONE bourbon that you need to have in your cabinet - Makers Mark. End of story. B)

But yes, to reiterate what others have said, liquor is safe provided that nothing is added after the distillation. The most common culprits that I have found tend to be the flavored vodkas. The best choice is to always check here or to call the manufacturer.

Enjoy your Makers!!

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      I had been off of gluten for 3 months due to food testing came back that shows gluten intolerance. I had asked my health care provider that I wanted to be tested for celiac before stopping gluten. Once they actually listed it shows my immunoglobulin A was really elevated and on the AB, IGA part showed <1.0. Would this be a false negative given I had not gluten in months? I’m very frustrated that the the test was not done while eating gluten.
