Smirnoff Ice is not gluten-free in the U.S. It is in Canada. Virtually all of the Smirnoff Ice type drinks and wine coolers in the U.S. have barley malt.

Virtually all distilled alcohol is gluten-free.

But some of us can not tolerate grain alcohols even when distilled. Test them in small amounts first.

Richard do you count the hours till I add this in? :D I'm sorry but our reaction is so strong I have to add it in, forgive me okay? :)

Christa-

See this link for info on alcohol: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-21105163537.13

I used to drink Smirnoff Ice's-they were one of my faves! But, no more. Wines have moved up to the top of my list, as well as simple mixed drinks, some martinis, fresh margaritas....still many options! :D

Some vodka is made from potato and some is made from grain. Distilled or not, the kind made from grain tore me up the last time I drank it mistakenly. Now I just stay completely away from vokda and whiskey unless the vokda clearly says it's from potato. I stick with wine, rum, or tequila (margaritas!).

The coolers are made from malt which is from barley and off limits to anyone with gluten problems. I stick to wine, have decided that I have problems with grain alcohol - no vodka for me anymore, but will keep my margaritas (hey julie5914 - I have a long weekend next weekend - wanna come over for a pitcher :lol::P )

I found a wine at WalMart called Fruituzia (or something like that) and it's almost like the way wine coolers used to be made. It's really light, slightly bubbly and only 6% alcohol. And inexpensive! :rolleyes:

As I've said before though, if ALL grain is bothering anybody, it's not a gluten problem. It's something else.

Well, yeah. But I've always been a lightweight drinker. It's just as I get older my body handles it less well than before. And Whiskey has something else in it that triggers my migrains so I stay away from that completely. But I do know that my reactions to grain alcohol are NOT celiac disease - just my body looking out for my liver I guess.

Hi Julia, How are you? I stick with wine also. I called the manufacture for Bacardi and they called me back and said that their bacradi Superior/Select/Gold/151 are all gluten-free, and also some flavored brands like Cocunut/Vanilla. So Rum and Cokes are my new drink. I'm trying to figure out if Cognac and brandy are gluten-free too.

Take care, joe

According to the above link for safe alcohols, brandy and cognac are gluten free.

Who knows, it could [in part] be a 'blood type' thing.

Smirnoff Ice does not effect me. I burp a little, but i can drink it. The smirnoff green apple and watermelon are not advised to try. I think it has something to do with the types of malts used with each drink. As per the one guy claiming its something other than the Gluten, Its actually the subcomponent of Gluten called Gliaddin. Whats happeneing, is about 60% of americans bodies detect this Gliaddin as a virus or toxin. So our bodies try to develop an anti toxin for it, Anti-Gliaddin. Anyway long story short...........Everyone is a little right. Smirnoff Ice = Good and im extremely sensative to Gluten. Sorry im also drunk lol. Weeeeeeeeeeeee.........

This may seem a little off the subject but not completly; My sister and I have decided that drinking potatoe

vodka relieves our stomach symptoms when we are sick. Her dr. told her that it was like antiseptic that killed the infection. It takes about one modest of shot (1/4 of a cup) it saves us from being in the bathroom all day. Anyone eles notice this kind of effect. If you are sick its a good excuse to drink. LOL!! I certainly cannot drink anything distilled from grain.

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
