From the article: Gluten-Free Alcohol
Experts now say distilled grain alcohols (e.g., vodka, whiskey, rye whiskey, scotch) are gluten-free. If you have celiac disease, did this news influence your behavior? If you have added distilled grain alcohols to your diet, what has your experience been like?

What's Your Opinion?

We got sick

I understand gluten grain alcohols are 'supposed' to be safe for celiacs----but I don't know of any of my celiac friends, including my husband and myself, who has been able to drink these alcohols without having a 'Typical Gluten Reaction'---i.e. terrible cramps and diarrhea. Sorry experts!!
