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!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
