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.

      Oats gluten free?

      By PA Painter · Posted

      I've had the testing up to the biopsy. Once they confirm the intestine is not affected they cease pursuing further diagnosis, regardless of extra intestinal symptoms. They refuse to pursue anything non celiac.  I react to: banana, avacado, fresh cabbage, yogurt, pecans, walnuts, xantham gum, and obviously wheat, barley, etc. Even so called "gluten free" food cause a violent reaction. Believe it or not. I can eat 3 Tostitos any more than that ruins my next three days. I did have one of the genes for potential autoimmune problems but they said it could mean anything. The most I get in the stomach is acid reflux and hot snakes. My intestinal symptoms are minimal. I think the pathology is...

      Oats gluten free?

      Hi,  Just to add to the possible cross reaction or contamination sources- look into how you are reacting to the milk protein casein, or course avenin in oats, quinoa protein, and also possible gluten contamination in cooking oils.  I care for my six year old daughter with Celiac, and it’s only after removing all oils from her diet has she felt better. Not even Certified ones were okay. I don’t know why is that, but it is so. I cook in animal fat whenever recipe calls for some oil. Nuts and avocado are the source of fat in her dieT otherwise.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for the most commonly occurring Celiac genes?   There's some scientific evidence that Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a precursor to Celiac Disease in genetically predisposed people. Which foods do you react to?  How do you react?

      Recent blood test results check in - TTG- IGA

      You are right, I just feel I may have not been on top of it and Ive caused damage for years without knowing. Seems like nothing though?

      No, one crumb from a month before the blood test would not materially affect the results of the test. I sense you are devoting a lot more "worry energy" to this than it deserves. That will do you more harm than a tick over normal on the TTG-IGA score.
