        Lets do the Celiac thing and get it out of the way. A lot of this web site has to do with sauces and the like. Many folk put whiskey. bourbon and sometimes beer into these wonderful mixes of delight.

        In the last 10 years of being diagnosed with this, I have done a fair amount of research. Gluten is a very large protein and through the distillery (not fermentation like beer) process, gluten is too heavy to follow to the finished product. All this said, I have found that some distilleries add small amounts of mash to the barrels to "even out the flavor," and a few other reasons, then they filter it. The point being, there is only one distillery that tests for gluten and that is Makers Mark - and it IS Gluten Free.

        The end result, if you have or know someone with Celiac, don't put bourbon, whiskey, scotch, or regular beer in the sauce. It will make them sick and worse. Ahh, there is that worse thing. For all the folks that enjoy the fad, tell the server that you want gluten free and then eat the rolls and croutons - every time a person that has Celiac eats gluten, their chances of stomach cancer is increased 25% (of which there is no cure). For kids with Autisim, ADD, ADHD, and those other things, they have found that being gluten free is all but required - no, it seriously helps.

        So, if you want to spend the money and actually go gluten free - do it for real. For all of the great folks that cook for others - you REALLY need to know this. Gluten is in wheat, barley, and rye - and that includes flour, malt vinegar, and malt (don't laugh, a chef in a dinner once told me there wasn't any wheat in his gravy, just flour).

        So, when the doc takes your blood (after you had a couple of beers the night before) and comes back and tells you, "no pizza, beer or donuts," a week before Thanksgiving, there is life - just not at many restaurants.

        There, I said it!

                There is an App for your phone that tells you if a product is gluten free - or not by reading the bar code. It is wrong, they try but things change.

                  I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and research of Celiac and gluten. It definitely is a world few truly understand and many associate only with fad diets.

                  For the record, we will limit our discussion of health topics here (what's safe & unsafe) per our Pit Guidelines, since we're a food website not a health website.

                        Thank you Huskee. My rationale was to inform due to being a real issue when going to a BBQ and either not eating anything or being sick. Many "secret" ingredients include soy sauce, beer, malt vinegar and the like. All of these contain gluten and many do not know it. It is wonderful to use these things but if someone asks, please tell them. It is much to not enjoy than to be sick for 3 days.

                          It has been a while since I posted - been up to my backside in all kinds of stuff - computers has not been one them. I have more info for those with Celiac disease.

                          It seems that many wines are not or may not be gluten free. Many wineries do not have their own own coopers and buy their barrels. Most of them use wheat paste to seal them. There are some wineries that use wheat to fine (clarify) the wines. Who knew.

                          The last I checked, Makers Mark is tested to be gluten free - which makes it the only bourbon that I know of.
