Alcoholic Drinks

I was wondering what types of alcohol I can drink. I don't really like very many types of alcohol I had tried before becoming diagnosed and I know nothing about what things are made of. I was wondering if people could let me know so when I go to parties or out to a bar with friends. The only thing I really liked that I found was an almoreto(sp) sour. Can I still drink that? If I can't what can I drink that doesn't taste like alcohol (the thing I like about that drink?) Thanks.

I drink vodka mixed with water- which is not a very common "favorite" but it's what I like. You can try it with a lime.

Also, (correct me if I'm wrong!) but wine is safe too!

The one time I tried wine (and yes it was obviously only one type) I almost spit it out. ;) I was with some older friends (30-50) who had opened a bottle of wine at a retreat. They offered me some by saying that it was okay if I drank some (obviously they didn't think I was old enough to drink). Too bad I was already 22. :P Being that they were offering it around it took me a second to realize why they thought they had to give me permission. I haven't touched it since. I always have trouble buying new things that I don't know if I'm going to like because I don't want them to go to waste and I don't go out hardly at all.

Thanks. That really helps giving me a place to start.

Most hard liquor is OK even though alot have wheat in it because when it goes through distillation, the Gluten particles are too big to pass through based on what I've read and personally experienced also. I love Bourbon and never had a reaction from it. Some of the cream based liquors may or may not be OK. Beer is obviously the biggest no-no sans the ones specifically labeled or made gluten-free.

I believe amaretto is OK but I can't recall off top of head. I know the Sour is OK since whiskey sours are one of my favorites I can have on a whim if I'm out with friends.

Cider is what I drink the most . I recommend Magners or Kopparberg Pear Cider :D

Rum and coke is a good one. If it's mixed well, it doesn't taste alcoholic, and pretty much any bar has Bacardi. Vodka and orange or cranberry juice is another good one. Woodchuck Strongbow hard ciders are easy to find and are often popular even with people who can consume gluten.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      How can you be negative for HLA?   What markers did you have here? Curiouser and curiouser...
