To all:

I guess it's a personal choice if you agree with the "distilled liquors do not have gluten in them" theory.

Here is Bailey's response on their web site:

Q. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts?

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain which contains Gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Egg/Egg Products:

None of the ingredients used in Baileys use egg or egg products in their manufacture. On the basis of this and to the best of our knowledge there are no traces of egg in Baileys. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons with requiring an egg free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Lactose:

Baileys contains about 50% cream and trace amounts (<0,5%) of Lactose, which is a constituent of milk. If the allergy is specifically to Lactose and not due to any other milk constituent then it may be possible for the consumer to consume Baileys. Please note that we are not qualified to give medical advice therefore you should consult with your medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Nuts:

The emulsifier in Baileys contains refined vegetable oil. This constitutes 0.35% of the weight of the final product. This vegetable oil may be of nut or nut origin whose ingredients are mixtures of glycerol mono or diesters with minor triesters

Does anyone happen to know if the flavored absolut vodkas are gluten free? On there website it has wheat listed as one of the ingredients so I have been staying away but after what Richard said above I am beginning to think it is ok to drink. Any ideas?

Anyone know if a Bellini is ok?? YUMMY! It has peach schnaps in it, champagne, rum and I think champagne. It's like a big orange electric slurpee!! I have some Smirnoff Vodka coolers in my fridge and I plan to drink them one of these days, the lable looks ok, they are just the original flavour (lemon).

I've read that many celiacs cannot tolerate alcohols that are made with distilled gluten grains. Even though the gluten should disappear through the distillation, it seems like some companies add some of the gluten back in after distillation to add flavor. Not sure how true this is, I'm pretty new to this whole celiac disease thing...

OK, I just sounded like I have been drinking too much champagne :P

Obrien premium lager has just been released in australia, however at $35 a six pack at my local, that is a bit rich. I have downed some heinekkens on occasions(supposedly low gluten) with little effect. I was just reading an article that all lagers are low gluten because of the brewing process. Anyone know if there is any truth to this.

There's always a chance some company could add gluten after distilling. I haven't found a liquor yet where that's been done, though.

It's not just a theory. Even the ADA and the major celiac organizations agree that distilling renders wheat, rye and barely harmless.

Rich,

Thanks for the info.

I have been following that theory by drinking regular vodka. But I do have some fellow celiacs telling me I should only drink potato vodka. They have not accepted the truth about the distilling process.

I buy my husband the B & J wine based coolers. Here in KY, you can only get malt based in the grocery stores since you can't buy wine in grocery stores. We have to go to an actual liquor store. They have 5 or 6 flavors I think. He really likes them.

Skoki Mom,

Those Bellini's are from Macaroni Grill - right? They are good. The alcohol part of the drink sounds gluten-free but maybe you should check with the company to see if any of the flavorings contain gluten.

Also, most of those Smirnoff coolers are malt based which are not gluten-free. Unless you are in Canada. Just double check them before you drink them.

The best Bellini's come from Milestone's, but I don't go to the one here since it is at the airport. Earl's makes a killer Bellini but I will have to ask them first exactly what is in it. We don't have a Macaroni Grill here.

Yes, I do live in Canada. The Smirnoff label reads "Carbonated water, Smirnoff vodka, sugar, natural and artificial flavours, salt, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate".

Not sure how I would make it through hockey season without my cooler!

I thought the Bellini was a house drink at the Macaroni Grill. Its a national chain that serves Italian food. Much better that Olive Garden if you have those in Canada. Obviously, I don't eat there since I was diagonsed with celiac disease.

Hockey??? What's that?? Only kidding - I'm a Ranger fan and there isn't much to root for with them for like the last 8 years.

There is a few Macaroni Grills in Canada I think, I know I ate at the one in Vancouver years ago, guess I won't be going there anymore :blink: Oh well, I'd rather have a steak and baked potato anyhow! LOL! Bellinis are awesome, I sure hope I can find out if they are gluten-free!

I am very happy hockey is back, I have a crush on Miikka Kiprusoff, lol.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
