I drink whiskey, I get sick. I drink beer, I might as well eat bread. It's political not health driven. It's not gluten free if it's made from gluten grains. As usual the non sensitive celiac mafia try to make out people are unreasonable or crazy if the question the gluten content of things people want to eat and drink but should not.

Exactly you want gluten free vodka get potatoe vodka , I quit drinking I forget which brands are safe. Actually I lost my stomach lining due to celiac disease so I cannot drink but if I do maybe a sip of wine or I think champagne is gluten-free am I wrong. Idk. Brandy nope, whiskey Nono, rum some rum is gluten-free some rum is not all dark rums are not and only one brand is gluten-free. Call the manufacturer they won’t lie. They will say the truth as it’s only 1-8% of pop is celiac they aren’t losing that much business. I forget if all wine is gluten-free I hope so. All gluten-free labeled alcohol in USA is gluten-free. Or just don’t drink . It hurts my stomach so bad I can’t . Some cordials are gluten-free most are not. As for Baileys oh I’m contacting them I want some baileys in my coffee right now. 💗🎼🍾

I have never had a problem with gluten-free airline meals in thirty years with one exception - I was served a normal bread roll some years ago. I knew it looked too good and queried it with a flight attendant. Meals have always showed up. I make a point of double checking even though it is in my profile. I have not travelled on many different airlines, mainly Air Canada and Qantas with some British Air. As most flights in Canada and North America do not serve meals on flights up to 5 hours, it is not an issue. The meals provided for ordering in advance are not worth bothering with so I pack a 'picnic'. Easy to do with a ready to eat gluten-free salad from the deli or supermarket or the old staple, sandwiches. No matter where I travel, I take a couple of pieces of fruit, nuts (got caught in a nut free zone once), chocolate  and crackers. Lots of choices!

Planning is the answer- never travel without backup food! 

Can you plainly discuss more packable food ideas and how to pack them please? I have celiac and DH must be gluten-free. But I’m seriously wondering where and how to pack in my carry on. What’s the size limit of carry on? Do they always allow a plastic salad bowl? Do you have any favorite gluten-free bars. I cannot stand the ones at wegmans. Are bars like Cliff bars gluten-free if not do you know any you can actually swallow? gluten-free bread often tastes stale to me do you toast first? Can we bring smoothies ? Ty in advance .

This is very sad. What a horrible thing to do to someone.  Over a disease that's almost 100 percent non fatal.  I hope she can sue the hotel for her mental and physical suffering.  What would have happened if she was diabetic and needed insulin? Awful commentary on the stupidity of officials. 

She should sue someone that’s for sure

Good point she’d die . That’s why I believe this thing was created by the global world government to control people or even harm them. Diabetes, and other things it’s fatal. What they are saying is just do not travel because who now wants to risk their life to travel. Idk. Somethings very wrong and evil.

In view of the growing intolerance and hostility in the world toward Christians, as a follower of Jesus I sometimes think about not being able to get gluten free food if I were jailed for my faith.

I was jailed once for camping read below. They starved me for a week I’m 5-5 I begged the nurse to help me she weighed me in jail 71 lbs. they made me wait a week to see a judge. No public defense either nothing. Judge threw my case out of court and screamed at guards to unchain me right now that I was free. Have faith. Angels can free you or the judge if you survive it to the judge. Read below Trent’s ✝️💗

This is so sad! My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with coeliac this summer and it has been so tough, not just to adjust and get used to the food, but mentally and socially too. I dread thinking about planning a holiday post covid, something that I used to really look forward to. One thing I think anyone with coeliac needs to do is travel with their own supply of food. It shouldn't have to be that way, but we are so far away from acceptable levels of knowledge and understanding from others. 

But there’s only so much food you can travel with you know. If in quarantine that’s 14 days impossible to carry that much food.

This is same for me I’d probably starve my family thinks a lil gluten won’t hurt me. In fact they glutanized me either by mistake or on purpose. My family ha no food. No bf no close friends I’m pretty isolated. I wonder if one could call social services as I’m also disabled ?

I would think a care home would be forced to help. I’ve had to go to a mental hospital before for other disability and they did give me tons of gluten free food. In fact I ate better there than at home. I’m having trouble affording gluten-free food as I’m partially crippled and cooking is very hard for me . Just fyi.

I know someone who was sectioned and the hospital didn't cater for coeliacs.  Friends and family had to send in food (at least they were able to, unlike in the situation above). 

This article makes me wonder just how many elderly and vulnerable people are in similar situations but for the long term in care homes etc?

Dreadful.   The hotel could surely have done better with what they had on hand.  They must have had eggs, scramble in a clean pan.  Bake a potato, etc.  

They waited for many hours though for any food nothing was even served. That’s even scarier. I also have DH. I’d probably eat gluten if I was starving even w go but idk. Starvation ? Due to a fake virus outbreak? Very scarey Orwellian stuff. I am seriously considering not traveling anywhere ever again. I don’t want to be locked and starved in a foreign country.

This is basically every Celiac person’s worst nightmare coming true in Canada. What has happened to logic and human dignity?  This quarantine idea without considering dietary needs was not well thought out nor did it consider human rights. Truly sad. 

I am sure I would starve to death again. In the 1990s I was a hippie living out of a camper van . I did jail time for being homeless camping in my van once for a whole week I waited to see the judge. At this time I was vegan. They gave me one banana, one piece of meat and one slice of bread a day. Not knowing I was also celiac I ate only the banana and bread. I went from a healthy for me 118 lbs to 71 lbs I begged the nurse in jail to help me I was going to die. She said I’m so sorry I would if I could honey. At the end of 7 days I saw the judge crying. He screamed “ SHE SPENT A WEEK IN JAIL FOR A CAMPING TICKET. RELEASE HER RUGHT NOW IN FRONT OF ME DAMMIT” and they unchained me right there l it took 18 more hours to eat again. If it had been any longer I would be dead. Trent’s fellow Christians here 💗

Seems pretty clear.  The distillers have to keep records showing they used gluten free ingredients to make the spirits because there is no test to prove distilled spirits are gluten free.

Celiac- spruce lists most distilled beverages alcohol as NOT gluten-free only potato based vodka is safe luckily I don’t drink so idc. Wine is safe if you drink. You can get a free list sent to you or buy a cheap online book of gluten free foods . It’s worth the investment. In general I don’t call medications anymore about their ingredients but I should. Everyone should and sadly they can change formulation at anytime. CHEX was the best company I worked with to get gluten-free choices in cereals on the market. Celiac Sprue has been taking this gluten free labeling to court for 50 yrs with no success. Some people cannot tolerate oats and it’s not listed by them to be gluten-free. I HAVE TRIED EATING OARS BUT SINCE THERES SO MUCH DEVATE I LIMIT OATS.  if you are celiac you reallly need to contact the celiac spru association in the USA , distillers of alcohol only won for money, the FDA doesn’t clear alcohol it just said they won’t get involved same with medications. Since only 1% of population is truly Celiac they just do not care .

This site is a life saver for me. I have only been diagnosed with celiac disease since March 2007, and I am still trying to get familiar with the 'safe foods.' Thanks you so much.

You can also get lists at Celiac-Sprue foundation . I have a bladder kidney actual infection and I’m wondering if I ate gluten accidentally or when I cheated 60 days ago did I allow me to get sick. I’m bed ridden, can’t afford holistic doctors not in touch with my original GI who diagnosed me. He says there’s nothing he can do and stay gluten free. It’s such a PITA! Anyway won’t cheat again . I’m in pain and I’m suffering. Have a nice week. Oh what if I ate something non gluten-free OR MY MEDS ARE NON gluten-free it goes on and on really ❤️‍🩹
