Hi....I think I may have a gluten intolerance. I recently had a major operation, and since have had several pain attacks, the most recent taking me a long time to recover from, as all the tests for "serious" problems showed I was OK.

I have started a gluten free diet, and have noticed considerable improvement. However, I love beer and was disappointed to find that its not gluten free. What about wine and other beverages>? Please could you provide some advice?

Best Regards,

Richard

HTML>Beer, Lager, cloudy lemonade, barley drinks contain some gluten.

Wine, clear lemonade, and all spirits are gluten free.

I was diagnosed with GT about 13 years ago. I am surprised that spirits (I presume you mean wiskey, scotch, cordials) are considered gluten free. I generally stick to wine if I wish as alcoholic drink.

Unfortunately, I have found with a blood test that I now need to leave out yeast containing drinks, so I guess the original question was academic. As far as I know, the only alcohol I can drink now is Spirits, as they are distilled.

Cheers, (!!)

Richard

I recently been diagnosed with yeast gluten and wheat allergies and are avoiding them. I got told vodka and gin (white spirits) are ok to drink. is that right?

 Re white spirits  Posted by Peter
Yes, since these are double distilled you shouldn't have a problem.

I've no personal problem but as a barman i'm having to deal with stigma to do with gluten in certain products, eg Makers Mark Bourbon and Absolut and Ketel One vodkas amongst others as they are distilled from wheat. I don't believe that complex protein structures could make it through the distillation process but would like some one to give me the last word on the subject as regards spirits, beer in general and wheat beers especially also wines, soft drinks etc as regards ingredients in cocktails etc if i'm sourcing unusual ingredients i want to be sure i know what effect the drinks might have

Hi

Are there any softdrinks that are gluten free? For instance diet coke?

Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic

 Re Drinks  Posted by Peter
The drinks to beware of are those containing barley, such as barley water and some cloudy lemonades. Avoid any flavoured with malt extract.

Fruit juices should be gluten-free

hi
i was just wondering if there are any gluten-free cordials as none of them say on them, and if so which ones.
thanks sophie

 Re Drinks  Posted by Peter
Most cordials should be gluten-free.
Check that the liquid looks clear, and check the ingredients list.

For example I am drinking bottlegreen elderflower cordial. This contains sugar, spring water, elderflowers, citric acid, preservative sulphur dioxide.

This is completely gluten-free.

Beware any cordial that includes barley or starch or modified starch in the ingredients list. They would not be gluten-free.

Beware of ginger beer. Some brands contain gluten as modified starch to give them a cloudy appearance.

What is Cointreau based on(grape-brandy etc)? I find it hard to get this info anywhere. Contrary to what some people say,many coeliacs react to alcohols based on gluten containing grains. At the moment I stick to Dom Benedictine,Grand Marnier,brandy,rum,Kahlua as far as spirits go.

To answer all of your questions about gluten-free beverages, a new website has been established

www.glutenfreedrinks.com
www.glutenfreedrinks.net

All information is supported by cross-referenced documentation from the manufacturers. Some of it may surprise you. Having raised a celiac child (now 27), I am very aware of the damage and confusion that anecdotal information can do to celiacs, especially the newly diagnosed. There always seems to be someone ready to swear that this, or that product affects them, despite absence of objective evidence. Remember when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! In other words, humans are heir to many ills. Just because you are celiac does not mean that every stomach rumble results from gluten exposure.

Live well, gluten free!
