Do you drink any liquor straight? Favorite alcohol?

I used to love to sip whiskey straight. Even after going gluten-free, I was in denial that whiskey affected me (because tons of things online say that the distillation "removes" gluten) but I had to accept the reality that whiskey definitely gave me gluten reactions and I cut it out.

I love Tito's, but not for drinking straight. It's a little hard for me to find 100% gluten-free liquors because a google search usually brings up grain distilled liquors. I know there are a good amount of rum options like Captain Morgan and Bacardi. I didn't use to be a big rum person but maybe I'll become one now 😂. I wouldn't say those are sipping alcohols though. I'm cool with Tequila, but for mixed drinks. Maybe the "sipping liquor straight" life just isn't for me anymore...

Oh well.

You're not alone. I can't have gluten grain based distilled alcohol either. While many folks with celiac are fine with them there is a small number of us that can't tolerate.

The FDA's new ruling makes it so that distilled spirits, no matter their source, can be labelled "gluten-free." The same is true for distilled vinegar:

Oh no! That's not really good news for those of us that do indeed react to grain distilled liquor. But it's not a hard thing for those who are sensitive to research anyway and make smart decisions with anyway.

My experience in running this site for 25 years is that there are tons of things that people with celiac disease might also react to that are gluten-free, and this is no good reason to not be able to label them as gluten-free.

I used to get my "buzz" from Hagen Dazs Rum Raisin ice cream (which has real rum in it).😉  But I have trouble digesting most dairy now, so I'm skipping it while my gut heals....

Why post in a thread on your favorite alcoholic beverages if you don't drink?

The FDA finally is making a scientifically proven statement that distilled alcoholic beverages are gluten-free because the distillation process does not allow for gluten to get into the final product. If some people react to the beverages it is not the gluten, but something else. Recent research shows that many people who think that they are reacting to gluten are in fact reacting to complex sugars that are present in gluten containing products. This would make sense why some react to gluten-free distilled liquors.

I can’t drink alcohol anymore due to Gastroparesis but when I could I really enjoyed Stella Rosa white wine one of my favorites.

I generally stick with red wine, but 100% agave tequila is my favorite spirit.

      What do my test results mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Nighttime Soiling (5 year old)

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-
