Hi i am a new member as well. Thought I would share with you what I've read about spirits. Vodka is started with grain mash,,so is not safe. Potato vodka is okay and a brand called belvedere, I have tried. Rye,whisky ,,all grains and wheats. Rum is from cane sugar and is okay,,as is tequila,most wines if not fortified are good as well,and i hear vermouthand cognac and sake is also okay.

The distillation process is said to remove the gluten protein from the product. A bourbon derived from grains can still be consumed by Celiacs if it is distilled. Now, with that said, there are some people here on the forum who will react.

Here is another good source for this info from the celiac sprue association. I am one of those celiacs who react to gluten grains even if not distilled. The only way to know for sure if you will is to try them when you are feeling good and not consuming anything else that is risky.

And to keep in mind, there are alcohols that never start from wheat/barley/malt, and are safe from the beginning.

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      Hi. So for a month or two I had been experiencing extreme pain around my left rib going right up to underneath my breast, I went to hospital and the GP many times and one day it just came across my mind maybe I’m celiac/ gluten intolerant (celiac runs in my family)! I instantly stopped consuming anything with gluten (tbh everything I was eating was full of it) and the day I stopped having gluten the pain instantly disappeared, the next day I had a GP appointment about the pain & I informed him it just stopped instantly and explained why I believe I’m intolerant! I’m waiting on test results as of now, however I have still had absolutely no pain whatsoever today I’ve started to have diarrhea which I haven’t had in at least two months, I was severely constipated whilst consuming gluten! Just wondering would this be a symptom of gluten withdrawal? I’ve done a grocery shop from the “free from” gluten section, I’ve been very careful as I’m terrified the pain will start again!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.
