Avoid gluten-containing beverages

Some beverages, particularly those with alcohol, may contain gluten. Because it is made by fermenting gluten-containing grains like wheat or barley, beer is a common source of gluten. However, there are some beers that are available that are gluten-free and made from sorghum or rice.

Choose distilled liquors like vodka or gin if you're on a gluten-free diet and want to consume alcohol. Wine often doesn't contain gluten either. However, malt barley, a grain that contains gluten, may be included in wine coolers. The majority of non-alcoholic beverages, including coffee, tea, and sparkling water, are gluten-free. However, it's best to read the label because some beverages, such as pre-made smoothies, coffee drinks, or milkshakes, may contain gluten. Just drink alcohols made without grains or those that make it clear they are gluten-free if you are going gluten-free.
