Confused About Some Alcohols

Does anyone know if Anisette is ok? What about Lemoncello, Strega, and Di Saronno? I'm asking because I got sick from Hiram Walker Anisette once but not too badly. Also a week after my 21st birthday I had two Martinis and I got really sick. It says here that Martinis are ok: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=271&p_catid=12&sid=91hH9H1kK7kW3hl-15107500505.85 . Is it only certain kinds of Martinis? Does anyone know if I can have a Singapore Sling Open Original Shared Link Is Southern Comfort ok? I know I asked a lot of questions here but I know that some are repeats but I can't find the answers for some of them.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue when I was 20, two weeks before my 21st birthday, which I got sick on either from bad fish or ice cream. I didn't know ice cream could be bad for me. I have been reading threads on this site for months to help me along and I have been calling the companies and checking their sites.

My best answer is to call teh company and ask them! Or do ask.com and write in "Is_________Gluten Free?" But best bet is calling the co!

On the home page of this site is a list of gluten free alcohol. It is very conservative. It is considered that most alcohols that are distilled removed the gain content during the process. Not to say, that some do react as it has been mentioned here.

Capt. Morgans is on the safe list, so that should give you some options. The more components that you add to a mixed drink the increase in suspects. My advise is to keep it simple. Seagrams-7 and 7-up, Rum and Coke. But, CMA statement, many here cannot tollerate liquor at all.

Dairy could well have caused you reaction. I would back off that a bit until your insides are heal a little bit, then try it and see you can handle it.

I'd like to say thanks to the two ladies who responded so far and to anyone else in advance.

1st off, there are many kinds of ice cream w/ gluten in the fine print. (Not talking the obvious cookies'n'cream)

2nd, martinis et al vary. The cheaper gins or vodkas or vermouths sometimes adjust the proof as a last step, and the way I heard it, it could be w/ a grain alcohol that somehow wasn't fully distilled. I don't know how that makes sense but the guy writing it sure seemed to know about the process.

So the solution might be as easy as calling the brand that you've found to be safe.

Oh hehe I can't help but mention I once found myself at Raffles and of course had to have a Singapore Sling! Weeeeeeeee!

I drink Capt. Morgans, and Parrot Bay. Just recently I took the big plunge and went back to Black velvet. I use to drink it all the time before I got sick but then it is made with grain. But now they say if it is distilled it is safe. So I finely went and tried it again in the form of a Duck Fart:

Kalula, Bailys, Crown royal. ( I use Black velvet because it is cheaper )

I seemed to do just fine on it so I am back with the Black velvet.

Good luck,

Grump

Murph, I didn't see the fine print on the ice cream because we were at a restaurant that had a gluten free menu. At the time I didn't know ice cream could be bad for me because I was diagnosed with it a week or so earlier. But so then I guess I can have a Singapore Sling? BTW now I am very careful about ice cream and even more careful about alcohols.

I know that Di Saronno is safe. I contacted the company a couple of years ago and have never had a problem. In my experience very few ice creams from the grocery store have gluten. I have found that most major brands are gluten-free. Many Breyers, Eddy's and Dreyers are safe. In general I tend not to worry about ice cream. Having said that you may have gotten sick from cross contamination if you were at a resturant.

You need to figure out what is safe for your own body. Some of us tolerate grain derived alcohols but some can't. The celiac sprue association has a excellent starter list that addresses alcohol consumption. I feel the safest way to decide whether you tolerate any food or alcohol is to do a challenge with it. Drink a bit for 3 to 5 days every day without adding anything else that is suspect and watch for a reaction between days 3 to 7.

Yeah hez, most ice creams are safe I have found out. I'm not sure but I would say 30% aren't. I tried looking up TCBY and Friendlys but I didn't see anything on their sites. As far as Carvel, some of their products are ok and some are not.

Ravenwoodglass, yes I have heard some people are reacting to distilled liquores while others aren't. I was trying some drinks at a local bar and I haven't had any bad reactions accept for a little heartburn. My worry is that I might be drinking something and not display any outward signs of illness but it could be doing harm on the inside. Also, I'm not sure if it's part of the illness or just me but I get drunk very easily, like one drink and I could be drunk for longer than an hour, even if I eat. Two drinks can send me spinning for hours. I hope it's just me and nothing bad is happening.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!
