Hi I was diagnosed with Celiac about a year ago and was just wondering if anyone had some good gluten free drinks to suggest. I definately miss beer. I've been drinking mostly Vodka because I know its made from potatos. I was curious if anyone knew is rye whiskey is Gluten free. I've heard that the disstillation process takes out the gluten but I'm not sure if its 100% safe. Rye is pretty popular in Canada so it would be nice to have that as an option. Other than vodka and wine what are the best gluten free alcoholic beverages.

Here is a listing of a few. All distilled alcohols are considered safe:

So as I take baby steps out, I'm drinking:

plain absolute

absolute and kahlua (black russian)

Redbridge (yum! and I don't usually care for beer) Kind of darker and lagery) New Grist is more like a Bud or other mass marketed beer and Bards tale is somewhere in between.

Kahulah and cream if I can find a soy creamer.

I hope you find some more recommendations, because I'll be watching.

Oh, and when you go to a wedding and skip the meal, have not had any considerable amount of liquor in a year, and then fill up on black russians, you are more likely than normal to accidentally sip from your sister-in-law's glass-o-gluten. Avoid that error.

I"m not a fan of redbridge too much b/c of the metallic aftertaste, but if you can find Green's beers anywhere I highly suggest them!!! It doesnt have an aftertaste and even my gluten eating friends like it. It isn't JUST LIKE the beer you always had, it has a sweetness to it. One of my friends said its like a mixture of wine and beer. I've tried the triple blonde and amber ale's - both really good. just dont expect REAL beer. But it is closest to the real thing.

My non-Celiac husband has tasted Green's beer and he loves them! It is from a Belgian micro-brewery and there are 2 different types. One is a lighter type ale and the other is more of a darker lager. We paid $6.50 for a pint. Seems pricey but it has twice the alcohol content of American beers so one beer is more like drinking 2! I had to drive home...... :lol:

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:
