I love having Captain Morgan original spiced rum and Bacardi rums (gold & silver).....but I was wondering if anyone knows if they are gluten-free? I tried reading the internet and found many different answers and after I drink the Captain Morgan I have some slight symptoms of it containing wheat or gluten. Just wanted to make sure before I continue to use these products. Thanks for the help!

All distilled alcohols are considered safe for people with Celiac to consume. Flavor added after this process may not be.

Hey, I am recently diagnosed (3 weeks) and my 19th birthday is coming up. My biggest concerns are Skyy Vodka, Appleton rum, Polar Ice Vodka, seeing as these are the main liquors served at George St. pubs. I know the individual websites state that they are distilled, and therefore no gluten byproducts remain, but I am concerned since all the information online is contradictory. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I know of no reason for concern with respect to any of those containing gluten.

From all my reading in the past, the vodkas should be fine. Rums are questionable, if they are not made in the US. Anything dark and brown should be questioned if made elsewhere. Not much of a rum drinker myself, so unfamiliar with them.

I disagree. This sounds like the old caramel color urban myth. Rum is never made from grain, and caramel color is safe.

ok great thanks the only thing that scared me was I found off wiki:

"Captain Morgan's Rum is distilled from sugar cane. The combination of the type of yeasts employed for fermentation, distillation method, aging conditions, and blending determines the characteristic flavor of rum. Made with molasses, water, mash and yeast..."

I agree. The only exception might be with the flavored rums. Those I would check.

psawyer, I love your posts. You are always so non-alarmist and informed. Thanks for all the help I get from you.

As to the alcohols, I agree that the alcohols themselves are fine (gluten-free) but flavorings added after distillation may not be. I have trouble with certain Gins, but I don't drink flavored rums or vodkas... only the clasic stuff.

Wine is 100% gluten free. There has been talk on this forum of wineries which use some sort of paste on their oak barrels, which may contain gluten, but I have yet to ever become sick from drinking wine and I drink wine everyday. I am extremely sensitive to gluten, am a diagnosed Celiac and wine has never made me sick. Some people are sensitive to sulfites in wine so if you have a reaction, it probably is from sulfites. That is very common.

Wikipedia is a poor source of information as it can be modified by anyone. I would stick to trusted medical sources or ask psawyer......he's a MUCH better source than Wiki! ;) The man knows his stuff!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
