Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?
Rejoicephd replied to Rejoicephd's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
@Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos. I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, ... -

That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth. She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem. She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry. So in summary, I... -

You called it @knitty kitty. I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold). I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

Oh cool! We have similar stories! I’m a microbiologist with an interest in metabolism. Been getting more and more fascinated by nutrition in recent years. I will check out your blog . Thanks !

Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my ...

Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider... -

Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior? the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I a...

Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point). So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another...

Thanks @Beverage for checking in! I haven't changed the dogs' food yet. I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen). Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new...

Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look. And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take...

Yea ... you're probably right. I think I have been in a sort of denial about how bad this condition is. I thought it would be easier to deal with it. It is clearly NOT. Reading different posts on this forum over the past few weeks has helped me come to terms with that a bit, that this is a tough disease to live with and it takes some very serious steps...

Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all. So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once an...

Thanks so much. 🙏 I see they have them on Amazon. I'm all over it. I'll let you know how it goes.

@knitty kitty thank you for this suggestion. Yes definitely. Actually, since you brought it up, I just looked to see what amount of B vitamins my multi-vitamin had in it. I just realized that not only am I taking the version of thiamine that you mentioned doesn't absorb well, but also that I inadvertently reduced the amount of thiamine that I'm taking daily...

Thank you @cristiana. Its really helpful to hear your experience, thanks for sharing. 8 years is a long time! And its also good to know that others have experienced worsening before it gets better. I've just started doing the food diary recently, and I'll keep that going. It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my...
