I got a question. It is my understanding (and correct me if I am wrong) that all wine is gluten-free. But I thought champagne was not all gluten-free. Isn't champagne a version of wine. Should I be more careful?

I was under the impression that wine and champagne are not things I need to worry about. Anyone know of a specific brand of wine or champagne that contain gluten?

I have read that any wine made in the US is safe. I'm sure people with more knowledge on the subject will weigh in soon.

Ecclesiasticus 31:36. Wine drunken with moderation is the joy of the soul and the heart.

Champagne undergoes a second fermementation at times (which gives it more alcohol). Some cheaper kinds add alcohol to it as they do mot use the second fermentation...

Before going on the gluten-free diet, I was a beer drinker - I loved beer!! So once I started the gluten-free diet, I switched to wine, and didn't have any issues at first. But after a couple of months, I started getting intense itching (very similar to the itching I was having during one of my DH outbreaks). I finally figured out that it may be the wine and quit drinking it. Guess what ... no more intense itching! I have read on this board that sulfites in the wine may be my issue, and I have also read that you should not drink ANY alcohol for the first 6 months of the gluten-free diet (not sure why). Any one have any comments on this?

Thanks,

I have worked for a winery for years, and our winemaker has assured me that all of the wine that he has come in contact with is gluten-free. Champagne is normally produced in the U.S. by adding carbonation to produce the bubbles. There is not any additive that I know of that would contain gluten. Yeast is used to help ferment wine, but it is filtered out to such an unmeasurable amount that it should not hurt those with a yeast intolerance, which I do have. Eggs and dairy products are also used as a filtering agent, but I have never had a problem with this either.

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞 
    • Colleen H
      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
