Actually, all alcohols are considered to be gluten free as the process of

distillation makes it impossible for any proteins to remain behind. Most vodkas

are made from either corn or potatoes, have never seen one made from wheat, but

anything is possible. I wonder if maybe you just have an alcohol allergy.

Vodka is, in fact, one of the alcohols most recommended for use by those on a gf

diet, along with wines.

 

Sometimes when one has damage to the intestines, the degree of damage makes them

reactive to all sorts of other proteins until they have a chance to heal.

I made an apple martini last weekend and took a sip before handing it

to my friend. Within a minute I had a horrible stomachache and felt

faint. It was Grey Goose brand and it says " grain-based " on the

label. Later in the evening I had a rum drink (mojito) and felt fine.

I had always heard that distilled drinks were fine, but I think I

will stay away from it for now.

i would like to weigh in on this as i am a bar owner

and have had to learn what to drink. i use to drink

vodka untill i realized it caused me great pain the

next day. i then switched to a nice white tequela. i

sip this over ice with lime. it makes it so smooth

and i can have 2 and not feel like a trainwreack the

next day. i do limit my drinking thou. wines are

usually good also.

what i think the problem for me is the sugar in the

vodka. or all alcohol really. but somehow your body

processes different liquors a different way in your

body. i was once told your body will react negativly

if you are allergic to that liquor. so i would say if

you insist on drinking experiment with one at a time

and dont add all that sweet mixer stuff. it is as

sweet as a soda. or dont add fruit juices. if you

must mix it add a light sparkling water like

pellegrino or a tonic water. this has sugar but not

as much as alot of the mixers out there. or do what i

do if i dont want a rocks poor, just add water.

i know that when are bodys are alreayd compromised

with the cd it has a hard time processing alcohol. i

hope this helps. happy hunting!

I didn't have a clue what vodka is made from and I'm not a drinker.

So I did a quick Google and came up with this :

 

" Vodka can be distilled in a good many ways, from a great many

substances, including wheat, rye, beets, corn, potatoes, and sugar

cane. (In Russia, the Yukos oil conglomerate recently made headlines

for marketing a vodka distilled from hemp seeds.) As a result, each

brand has a distinct smell, flavor, aftertaste, and burn (i.e., the

burning sensation vodka creates as it goes down your gullet). The

grain-based vodkas, which are the most popular, tend to be smooth

and can even taste fruity. Vegetable-based vodkas are often (and

often unfairly) dismissed as being harsh and medicinal. "
