In addition to being a Celiac, I am oh so lucky and have food allergies too! I've always had allergies, dust, pollen, grass, molds - not for me! But... after being diagnosed with Celiac disease, I decided to go back to my allergist and ask for a full panel of testing for food allergies. I was bummed with the results... Be careful what you ask for! Turns out I am now also not able to eat nuts (of just about any kind). I LOVE reeses, it's one of my favorites, and nuts of all kinds, especially chocolate covered nuts, oh so delicious.. so bummed. And peanut butter, I just love peanut butter. My fantastic boyfriend found WowButter, a peanut butter replacement, and immediately thought of me, so sweet. |
This blog is dedicated to us Celiacs, or those who live or want to live a Gluten Free (GF) life. I've come across products and restaurants that are wonderful, and want to share them (and hope you do the same)! I've also come across products I wish I never purchased, and restaurants that were unaccommodating to say the least. This is a forum to share useful information so we can support those accommodating companies, and hope those that aren't step up to the challenge!

Gluten Free Alcohol!! What's Safe??
When seeking information nowadays, where does one turn? Wikipedia,(and google) of course! As a Celiac, it's so very important to have a completely gluten free life, but, you're alive and want to have fun too! Important to know, is what you can and cannot drink!
I turned to Wikipedia, where I found a great breakdown of what alcohols are gluten free. Specifically, I was very curious if all wines are gluten free, whether the sulfites and corks are an issue, which alcohols besides the obvious beer do us Celiacs have to stay away from and much more... Keep reading to get the low down!
