Big Girl Beverages That Aren't Distilled

Some day I dream of having another adult drink and I'm finding that I can't tolerate distilled alcohol/vinegar (no more vinegar martinis- UGH!) so my question is this: Are there any gluten free alcoholic beverages that aren't distilled? I'm wondering about gluten-free beer, hard cider, wine and champagne. I know nothing about how alcohol is produced. And if anyone knows of a gluten-free, distilled vinegar free salad dressing, please do tell! Thanks, Big Girl Beverly who hopes for a Beverage

I would try the cider. It's made from fermented apples (you can have fermented things, right?). I can only get Woodchuck where I live, and I like the dark and dry best.

Wine and champagne would be fine too, they are both made from fermented grapes and contain no grains (unless they added some kind of flavoring afterward, I haven't seen anything like that though).

I know nothing about gluten-free beers because I can't get those where I live.

Tequila is gluten free as long as its 100% Agave. Jose Quervo has mixes that are gluten-free. De Kuyper Shnapps are gluten-free, as Schnapps are made from the juice of whatever they say they are like apple or peach. The peppermint or Gold stuff I'm not so sure about. Most clear Rums are gluten-free.

I do a drink with fruit juice ( those new Dole Blends are awesome) Tequila and Peach Shnapps in place of the Triple Sec. Triple Sec is made from Orange Peels so is gluten-free, but I like the peach flavor better.

I've had tons of fun with bartenders, explaining what I could and couldn't have and then having them come up with something for me. If you're ever at Gulf Stream in Los Angeles, ask for an Andre's #2. Its a gluten-free drink he came up with for me that had me on the floor.

My problem is anything with sulphites makes me sneeze uncontrollably.

I have found the only drinks not distilled from grains are potato vodka, tequilla, brandy, and rum - in addition to rest mentioned here. The shnapps I have looked at is distilled from grain and I think Triple Sec is distilled from fruit. I cannot drink ANY drinks distilled from ANY grains. I also cannot tolerate yeast which rules out wine, champaign, and all other gluten-free drinks/beers.

Due to my yeast intolerance, I cannot eat anything with vinegar - I have even tried the rice vinegar and it still bothers me. There is yeast in the process (same with wine). Therefore, if you have a problem with vinegar, I would look at maybe an intolerance for yeast - just a suggestion, nothing more, nothing less.

I find I'm fine with wine but cider gives me terrible D. I have no idea why but it's equally as bad as when I drink beer. I also like margaritas (as long as the mix is gluten-free). Unfortunately wine is the only "casual" thing I can handle unless I want to get rip-roarin drunk.

Is the beer gluten free?

No, I was just using that as an example of the severity of my reaction to hard cider.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
