To all:

I guess it's a personal choice if you agree with the "distilled liquors do not have gluten in them" theory.

Here is Bailey's response on their web site:

Q. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts?

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain which contains Gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Egg/Egg Products:

None of the ingredients used in Baileys use egg or egg products in their manufacture. On the basis of this and to the best of our knowledge there are no traces of egg in Baileys. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons with requiring an egg free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Lactose:

Baileys contains about 50% cream and trace amounts (<0,5%) of Lactose, which is a constituent of milk. If the allergy is specifically to Lactose and not due to any other milk constituent then it may be possible for the consumer to consume Baileys. Please note that we are not qualified to give medical advice therefore you should consult with your medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Nuts:

The emulsifier in Baileys contains refined vegetable oil. This constitutes 0.35% of the weight of the final product. This vegetable oil may be of nut or nut origin whose ingredients are mixtures of glycerol mono or diesters with minor triesters

Does anyone happen to know if the flavored absolut vodkas are gluten free? On there website it has wheat listed as one of the ingredients so I have been staying away but after what Richard said above I am beginning to think it is ok to drink. Any ideas?

Anyone know if a Bellini is ok?? YUMMY! It has peach schnaps in it, champagne, rum and I think champagne. It's like a big orange electric slurpee!! I have some Smirnoff Vodka coolers in my fridge and I plan to drink them one of these days, the lable looks ok, they are just the original flavour (lemon).

I've read that many celiacs cannot tolerate alcohols that are made with distilled gluten grains. Even though the gluten should disappear through the distillation, it seems like some companies add some of the gluten back in after distillation to add flavor. Not sure how true this is, I'm pretty new to this whole celiac disease thing...

OK, I just sounded like I have been drinking too much champagne :P

Obrien premium lager has just been released in australia, however at $35 a six pack at my local, that is a bit rich. I have downed some heinekkens on occasions(supposedly low gluten) with little effect. I was just reading an article that all lagers are low gluten because of the brewing process. Anyone know if there is any truth to this.

There's always a chance some company could add gluten after distilling. I haven't found a liquor yet where that's been done, though.

It's not just a theory. Even the ADA and the major celiac organizations agree that distilling renders wheat, rye and barely harmless.

Rich,

Thanks for the info.

I have been following that theory by drinking regular vodka. But I do have some fellow celiacs telling me I should only drink potato vodka. They have not accepted the truth about the distilling process.

I buy my husband the B & J wine based coolers. Here in KY, you can only get malt based in the grocery stores since you can't buy wine in grocery stores. We have to go to an actual liquor store. They have 5 or 6 flavors I think. He really likes them.

Skoki Mom,

Those Bellini's are from Macaroni Grill - right? They are good. The alcohol part of the drink sounds gluten-free but maybe you should check with the company to see if any of the flavorings contain gluten.

Also, most of those Smirnoff coolers are malt based which are not gluten-free. Unless you are in Canada. Just double check them before you drink them.

The best Bellini's come from Milestone's, but I don't go to the one here since it is at the airport. Earl's makes a killer Bellini but I will have to ask them first exactly what is in it. We don't have a Macaroni Grill here.

Yes, I do live in Canada. The Smirnoff label reads "Carbonated water, Smirnoff vodka, sugar, natural and artificial flavours, salt, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate".

Not sure how I would make it through hockey season without my cooler!

I thought the Bellini was a house drink at the Macaroni Grill. Its a national chain that serves Italian food. Much better that Olive Garden if you have those in Canada. Obviously, I don't eat there since I was diagonsed with celiac disease.

Hockey??? What's that?? Only kidding - I'm a Ranger fan and there isn't much to root for with them for like the last 8 years.

There is a few Macaroni Grills in Canada I think, I know I ate at the one in Vancouver years ago, guess I won't be going there anymore :blink: Oh well, I'd rather have a steak and baked potato anyhow! LOL! Bellinis are awesome, I sure hope I can find out if they are gluten-free!

I am very happy hockey is back, I have a crush on Miikka Kiprusoff, lol.

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      By Peggy M · Posted

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
