This distillation process stuff is way too difficult for me. I'll just stick to my Bacardi and Coke's. Too bad they call it "demon rum" for a good reason B)

If it isn't possible then perhaps the GIG of North America and Scott shouldn't post such things. I believe them to be reliable sources of valuable information.

Well the problem is two-fold.

I know that they also say that wheat grass and barley grass has no gluten in it. Theoretically this is probably true, but they both sure make me sick! I would say it's the same for distillation, it's just not a perfect process.

This is the first reason, except two distillations are never the same ... especially in a mixed solution with hundreds of consituents and where the presence of one affects the BP of another (called an azeotrope) ... other things like vewry small changes in temp and air presure also affect it... but the effects are rather unpredicatble because one small change can effect something else...

As a side note alcohol is a poison to the body. Could it be possible that some people just don't tolerate alcohol regardless of the source? People react to things differently. What might cause a person a great buzz to alcohol can cause another a nasty mood and a hangover to boot.

Just a thought.

Probably, partly... If I oly drink good wine Im fine, I can drink 3 bottles and no after effects (apart from getting drunk)... but when I touch vodka or even stuff like colored cognacs (still made from grapes just with caramel color) I get randomly sick...

One possible reason is the alcohol can aid very small amounts of gluten across the gut/blood barrier through what are called ion-gates.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
