curious to know - would being celiac cause your blood alcohol level to be way higher than what it in reality really is?

I don't think being celiac would have any effect on your BAC. Celiacs do not tolerate some gluten derived alcohols which can make you feel more intoxicated and have a worse hangover though.

It would actually be the opposite. Up to %80 of alcohol is absorbed in the small intestines and only %20 is absorbed in the stomach. If your intestines are not absorbing correctly (Celiac) than you will not absorb all of the alcohol. What your talking about sounds like a hepatic disorder.......witch could be related to Celiac Disease. (contradictory statements, I know)

I think this is true. I never could figure out how I could drink one beer and be full-on drunk, but still be reasonably sober after two strong mixed drinks. And the morning after drinking beer I would always have GI problems (doesn't happen with liquor or wine). 'Twas the gluten. One gluten-free beer doesn't make me drunk.

Yea I could never figure out why I would feel drunk and get a hangover from alcohol free beer. It was the neuro effects of gluten on my brain. Like you I can have two or three gluten free alcohol drinks and be fine the next day but give me one gluten derived drink and I am in lala land and sick as a dog the next day.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
