Alcohol Senstivity/intolerance/issues?


bluelotus

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I tried cooking this week with wine for the first time. Very yummy. But, I think it may be causing me issues. I am having some tummy symptoms and am wondering if it is related to this new cooking technique. I haven't had anything else new in my diet this week, so I doubt I was glutened - though I guess you can never rule out contamination. Does anyone have a sensitivity/intolerance/allergy to alcohol or sulfites? What are the typical symptoms for you? Atlhough I do drink a glass or two of wine on the weekends, it is usually at home and late in the evening, so I haven't noticed much in the way of issues there, though I may be falling asleep before they hit. Just hoping I am not experiencing another gluten set back.

Thanks for the help.

I have no problems with wine or sulphites.

If the wine hasn't bothered you before, then you may have got glutened or you may be reacting to something else, like dairy. I developed a dairy intolerance at about the same time and some of my symptoms are similar to my gluten reaction symptoms. I would double check all the ingredients that you are cooking with, and make sure that you are using separate condiment jars.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am dairy, egg, and corn free as well. My husband (not gluten-free and thinks I am overly sensitive) sometimes helps with cooking or washing dishes. However, I don't think he is as aware as he needs to be and the source of contamination in any cooking likely resulted from him (ex. Me "Did you wash your hands before starting to cook?" Him - evil look. etc, etc, etc). Going to be a household full of thrills for years to come, I can see it now. <_< I guess I will have to spend the rest of my life in the kitchen cooking and cleaning and never getting any help. This disease is soooo freaking frustrating!!!!

My tummy feels better now and I know I was glutened last week by a hair product, so it could have been left overs from that.......so possibly a false alarm.

I can't handle red wine - severe allergic reaction, even if cooked in food. Sucks as my hubby makes WONDERFUL sauces (ex sous chef)

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.
