I've been diagnosed with Celiac disease for about 6 months now. I'm interested in trying some new alcohol but fear of being gluten-ed. I've been sticking with Growers Cider and wine, but with the Christmas social season starting, I was wondering about a few others. I know Carolin's Irish liqueur is gluten free (it states that it is on their website) but what about peach schnapps, or watermelon liqueur? What alcohol do you guys usually drink that is safe? I stay away from all Vodka, no matter if it was made from potato since I have always had bad reactions to Vodka. Thanks!

Bad news first: no beer. Yep...that hurts. Though some decent gluten free beers are coming to the market. And I would avoid most liqueurs.

Good news: most liquors are safe (vodka, rum, gin, tequila, scotch, etc). And wine is also safe.

When I first went gluten free I was SO happy I could still drink wine!

i think for many who are healing the straight spirits are too harsh on the tender gut and it can be confused with a gluten reaction. for me i often have issues figuring out if the issue was gluten, soy, dairy, or just something stupid i ate.

Yep, I learned one glass is great and two is too much. Now I'm a cheap cheap date.

I don't drink much alcohol at all but I do cook with it often. I have quite the collection in my cupboard!

You may want to take it easy the first time you try it as some find their tolerance level has changed. I tried it for the first time this week after not having any for 8 months. My tolerance was OK, but I had a two-day hangover. I plan on abstaining when we have company spending several nights here, as having company can be tiring enough!

Changes to tolerance level are fairly common. It is not clear why, as alcohol is generally believed to be absorbed via the stomach, not the intestine. During the healing process, reactions can occur to just about anything, and may mimic the reaction to gluten. That does not mean that you ingested gluten--only that your body has not yet healed completely.

I drink plenty of alcohol to make up for not having gluten :P

I have found that I can only drink about 2 glasses of wine and suffer a pretty bad hangover the next day <_< . BUT...I can sip at least 5 of Jose or Patron and wake up feeling fine the next day! :D I think it's the sulfites, but more testing needs to be done to know for sure :P

Well I'm not anywhere near the legal drinking age. And no one here in Utah drinks very much. No one I know anyway, I live in a very mellow place where people really don't drink alcohol, I would say most wouldn't even know what patron is :P In another post I said no one here really drinks much coffee either. We all indulge in Mountain Dew or a Slurpee from 7-11. When I say no one here drinks much coffee or alcohol I am saying no one I know. So don't start freaking out if you live in utah and drink coffee B) The only ting I've ever wanted to drink was beer and now I can't so it doesn't matter much to me.

Thanks everyone. I am starting to realize everything changes when you are healing. I still don't think I am fully healed as I have made some mistakes and had some cross contamination as I slowly learn. I had a bit of a gluten reaction last week and went out this weekend for my birthday and had 3 glasses of wine and woke up the next morning feeling pretty sick and am still recovering. I think my tolerance level has dropped a bit, especially if I am already having a reaction.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
