Why Can I Tolerate Wine And Beer, But Not Vodka!

Hey everyone,

As I wrote in topic I can tolerate Wine and Beer with no real problem... The problem only occurs with Hennessy Cognac and Finlandia and Sobieski Vodkas. I haven't tried any other liquors or vodkas but I'm sure that most other vodkas and cognacs will produce the same reaction.

Can someone please explain why these liquors trigger such a TERRIFYING reaction when wine and beer DO NOT? This is so bogus!!

Please help me!

Thanks!

Hi, I am assuming you mean gluten free beer. Switch to a non-gluten based vodka (potato, acaci berry, sugar cane, etc.) and see if that helps. Here is my fav. site for checking vodka base ingredients:

both of the vodkas you are mentioning are grain based so switching to non-grain might clear up this issue for you. I know "they" say distillation renders it gluten-free, but this is at least and easy way to rule out any issue with a grain reaction.

I see it this way, the distilling process of liquor is suppose to remove all the gluten stuff that cause our bodies to go into a fit. This is probably a true statement, made by a scientist who followed all the steps in the distilling process properly when they did their study.

The probability is since making liquor is a business for money and not a non-profit business, corners are cut. The filters aren't changed as often as needed, the process is done only once or twice instead of what is really needed. So if we are unfortunate enough to buy our liquor from a batch that was not distilled properly we get hit. Yes, there are inspectors. They can be bribed, someone who really doesn't care if things are done right and businesses also know about when inspectors are going to arrive so they can correct their ways.

(Sorry to those of you that need a formal study, printed up in a medical journal, the above statement is not it. This is just one person's view point.)

If you are drinking glutened beer and not thinking your body is reacting, it does not mean your body is not being damaged. Some times no symptoms can still mean damage is being done. Each person's body reacts differently and can do so differently each day.

Try ThatlldoGyp suggestion for some non grain liquors and let us know how it goes.

Thank you Gyp and Ahorsesoul! I am probably going to try Chopin potato vodka because it seems to have the best reviews...

I also think that "clear liquors cause less sickness than dark liquor" is total Bullsh*t. Vodka makes me sicker than anything I've ever tried... Even more sicker than cognac does.

Me too. One grain based vodka and I don't remember anything after it and am sick as heck the next day even with just one drink. Potato vodka I can drink 2 or 3 with no ill effects, remember all of the night before and wake up hangover free. I would try a potato vodka if that is your favorite drink.

For what it's worth, I drink the "Grain" vodka fine. Whatever the standard vodka is that they use in bars (I get White Russians) and Skky vodka have been fine for me.

On the other hand, potato vodka makes me feel more drunk and nauseas than the grain. I bought some to be safe early on, and drank it and was ...bleech. For a while after I couldn't even smell vodka. I thought maybe I just drank too much that night, or something. Since then I've had the grain and been fine. I tried the potato stuff again another time, only having a little, and I still found it gave me all the bad and more 'hung-over,' queasy stomach than the regular stuff.

Just to clarify, my less-than-pleasant intake of the potato vodka is not what I consider a gluten attack. I don't get "glutened" by it -- just old fashioned makes me feel worse quicker than the regular vodka would. Is it stronger or something I wonder?

I have had both. I like the Luksusowa the best but the Chopin is good also. Since I usually mix it with lemonade or cranberry juice I just grab whichever is less pricey.

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
