Losing My Taste For Bloody Marys

Three words: Bloody Mary Bar. One does not simply pass up such an opportunity to load an alcoholic beverage with goodies like they're fixing up a salad at a salad bar - so obviously me and my friends had to partake.

After mixing up my own drink concoction, I sat down at the booth and began sipping away. However, within a matter of seconds I had convinced myself that it could possibly contain wheat because I hadn't had one since my diagnosis. This led me to Google 'Are bloody marys gluten free?' to gain a consensus on the situation. The search results consisted of conflicting information that didn't put me at ease in any way. When someone's allergic reaction relies on the fate of Google's search results, it's disconcerting when half of the results say it's gluten free and the other half definitely reads otherwise. Losing my appetite for the drink I was so excited for, I pushed it aside and kept to my water for the rest of the meal. Damn Google!

The point of the matter is, I wish Google or a similar website could give me one specific answer when the fate of my stomach is in the internet's hands. I've said it once and I'll say it again: when Celiac Diseasers rely solely on Google to give the 'ok' for what we consume, it worries me how easily the internet could easily lie or give inaccurate information. I know celiac.com is available but it doesn't include every drink or food I ponder about. So for those situations where Google is pulling me in different directions, I'll just keep to my water.
