Re: Soy Sauce and Cocktails..

[Guest guest]

Bourbon is NOT okay to drink.

Whisky is made out of rye, which contains

gluten. VERY bad. I speak from experience. You do NOT want to

try it. Trust me…

I don’t know about vermouth for

certain, but it *should* be okay

as it is a wine, but since you cannot get a list of ingredients, I don’t

know for sure, because, really, the “herbs” they put in it could be

anything. You may want to contact the manufacturer of your favorite vermouth

to see if it is GF.

I don’t know what the alcohol in bitters

is distilled from, and it probably varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

A good rule of thumb with alcohol is this:

Wine (and champagne) is okay, tequila is

okay, rum is okay, POTATO vodka is okay (most are NOT made from potatoes), GF

beer is okay, most ciders are okay. Everything else is bad, bad, BAD. Oh,

sake is okay too.

You can always tell the bartender what

your restrictions are & ask him or her to come up with something special

for you!

Thank you for giving me solid information on Soy

Sauce, and for what I learn from your

postings. It's all so helpful. I still have so much to learn!

Can you please advise me on cocktails? Are Manhattans okay to drink? (Bourbon,

sweet

vermouth and a shot of bitters, cherry). I had heard wine was okay. Is this

true?

Thank you!

I t was always my understanding that the distillation process in distilled liquors removes any trace of gluten.

I have never had a reaction to any distilled liquor - vodka, whiskey, etc.

I have reacted any time I have had any of

those drinks, and so has my best friend (who also has CD).

Results may vary. When I drink, it's almost always a gin and tonic. I've never had any problem as a result. Most of the time, I use Bombay (in the blue bottle) or Hendricksen's.

You have to figure out what works for you -- or doesn't.

Not related to gluten, but only to flavor -- lately I've been able to get Fevertree Tonic to use with gin or rum. It's less sweet than other tonics, such as Schweppes. I like it very much. I get it at BevMo.

I've never had any problems with gin either and Iam super sensitive. On Sep 14, 2008, at 7:02 PM, flatcat9@... wrote:

Gin is made from Juniper Berries, and doesn't come anywhere near

Gluten. Tonic is also perfectly fine.

Here is a good list for alcohol:

http://www.celiac.com/articles/222/1/Gluten-Free-Alcoholic-Beverages/Page1.html

[Guest guest]

Sorry for the second reply, the cat helped send that too early.

In addition to the list here:

http://www.celiac.com/articles/222/1/Gluten-Free-Alcoholic-Beverages/Page1.html

Distilled alcohols in their pure form are perfectly safe for Celiacs,

as the gluten is removed in the process, just like distilled vinegar

has been taken off the no list. However, there are places during the

aging/bottling process where gluten can be reintroduced, especially in

Whiskeys. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

Also, be wary of well drinks, especially those that my share

hoses/tank space with beer. I have fallen victim to that and to over

splash from beer pouring more than once.

My favorite drinks are Green Apple is (Puckers are GF) and Lemon

Drops. I'm also a fan of the Silk Panty done as a drink instead of a

shot (Peach Shnapps and vodka). I prefer Blue Ice and Chopin which are

potato vodkas, because along the way during this diet I discovered

that Potato vodkas taste better to me.

Sadly I can't drink gin cause I'm allergic to Juniper.

[Guest guest]

I think it's important to remember that most current information does

suggest that gluten does not survive the distillation process. No one

should consume anything that doesn't make them feel good, obviously-

but I know plenty of Celiac specialists and Celiacs that say it should

be fine, barring post-distillation additives and gluten in mixers etc.

Gluten-Free Living Magazine, a reputable source, states this clearly:

http://www.glutenfreeliving.com/basic-diet.php

Alcohol can be tough on the stomach regardless, and if you find a

certain brand doesn't make you feel good, avoid it, but I would really

recommend you try it for yourself....

Oh- one more thing... on a personal note, former head of the Stanford

Celiac Clinic Gail Pyle, a doctor and Celiac herself, assured me that

distilled alcohol from grain was safe. That was authoritative enough

for me... But like I said, I'm not suggesting people who find certain

things bother them drink them- just that someone whose body has

recovered enough to start trying alcohol again may want to try it out

for themselves. *shrug*
