I have coeliacs but still suffering from fat malabsorption and bone issues even though been gluten free for months. I never drink alcohol because of my stomach problems but I am going to have a little drink and just wondered which is the best alcohol to drink. I was thinking of drinking vodka and wondered if this would be okay and also what drink could I add to it. Thank you very much.

Yeah vodkas usually safe thats what I usually drink. I'm not 100% sure if all vodkas are gluten free but I know most are. Smirinov is for sure so I just stick with that. I usually mix it with sprite and a bit of water. Other then that most hard liquors are gluten free, one I know of for sure is Gin. Gin and tonic's always a safe bet and all wines are also gluten free.

I love red wine :) If I were going for vodka, I would have a screwdriver (vodka w/ 100% pure orange juice). Vodka can go with almost anything: cranberry juice is another nice option. Enjoy whatever you decide.

Cheers,

Jillian

I only do potato vodkas. They claim many of the grain ones are ok because of the distillation, but I swear if I drink even a few sips of a grain vodka, I fell out of it, but I can drink a glass of potato vodka & be just fine. Some wines are ok, but some places uses wine in the barrels, etc. So I always check online before i try anything.

Smirnoff vodka is made entirely from corn. There are other beverages with the Smirnoff brand name which are not gluten-free. In particular, Smirnoff Ice is usually malted barley, not distilled corn (it varies from state to state and country to county based on local law).

I'm very sensitive and have not had a problem with wine. I've had wines from all over the world.

I tend to stay away from the mixed drinks. Mixed drinks have caused me problems on at 3 occasions in recent memory. Not pretty.

I've decided wine or gluten-free beer when available.

Wine is my choice when dining out. No worries there.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could provide more clarity. Wishing you both continued strength and success in managing her health. Please keep us updated on her progress!
