In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.

    Is Kahlúa Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 01/15/2021 - Is Kahlúa gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? One question we get a lot is about gluten-free alcohol and liqueur. Specifically, is Kahlúa gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? 
    Kahlúa is a coffee liqueur from Veracruz, Mexico. The drink contains rum, sugar, and 100% arabica coffee. Distilled rum alcohol is gluten-free. Coffee is gluten-free. Sugar is gluten-free. The ingredients themselves are gluten-free. So, is Kahlúa gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease?
    According to Kahlúa, the ingredients used to make the coffee liqueur are gluten-free. Although Kahlúa coffee liqueur is not specifically labeled "Gluten-Free," Kahlúa, along with all of the top brands of coffee liqueur we've looked at are made witho...

    Kahlúa and Other Top Gluten-Free Coffee Liqueurs
    Celiac.com 01/22/2021 - We get a lot of questions about alcohol, and one we've seen a lot is about coffee liqueurs, like Kahlúa. We actually did an article specifically on Kahlúa, but those answers apply equally well to any of these brands of coffee liqueurs. 
    While we don't know of any other brands of coffee liqueur that are specifically labeled "Gluten-Free," all of the top brands we've looked at are made without gluten-ingredients, and none list wheat as an allergen. As always, read labels, and avoid anything that you're not sure about.
    That said, Kahlúa, and these other top brands of coffee liqueur can be considered gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. A few, like Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, are even labeled gluten-free:

    Is Malibu Rum Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 03/10/2021 - Even though the FDA recently confirmed that all distilled spirits, including rum, are gluten-free, we get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Malibu Rum. Specifically, is Malibu Rum gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
    This is logical as some ingredients added to flavor distilled alcohol can include gluten. Original Malibu Rum is just rum liqueur flavored with coconut. All distilled rum is gluten-free, unless gluten is added after distillation, which is very rare. According to the Malibu website, the company does "not add any known gluten ingredients in Malibu Original or in any of the Malibu Flavors.” The only allergen listed it coconut, wh...
