Distilled vinegar (was Re: Continuing symptoms and alcohol)

[Guest guest]

A couple on the list were adamant that they get a gluten reaction from

distilled alcohol made from gluten containing grains. I was wondering

if those same folks also get a reaction from distilled white vinegar?

I guess you wouldn't have a way of knowing if it comes from corn or

wheat etc., but it seems that many things, especially pickled things,

might be a problem? I once thought I had a reaction from the pickled

jalapenos on my nachos and I have definitely seen those in the grocery

store with vinegar listed (but not distilled).

Just curious...

gluten-grain-based liquor, even if it is distilled.  The last time I

had gin (Bombay, my former favorite) it was a truly awful experience

and I was sick for days after.  I don't care what the scientists say

(and I am a scientist myself), my body tells me that there IS gluten

in that stuff.  And my body is more sensitive than their instruments. 

I drink rum, wine, tequila and those have been fine.
