Red Wine

Think I just had a serve response to some red wine I drank last night, severe cramps, bloating, etc. I have never had a reaction like this to red wine, a new bottle I’ve never tried before. Has anyone had a gluten reaction to red wine?

I am a healed celiac (repeat biopsy confirmed) and I drink red wine on occasion.  No gluten reactions.  I do not drink it on a regular basis because it triggers my facial Rosacea which is probably due to the tannins found in red wine (grape skin).  Try drinking white.  

Another possibility.  If you are newly diagnosed or undiagnosed, you may find wine hard to digest.  A damaged gut can not digest anything well.   For example, if I am exposed to gluten, it can hurt to digest ANY food for a few weeks. If my autoimmune gastritis is acting up, there is no way I can drink alcohol.  

Odds are though, gluten was not in your wine.  What else did you eat?  Did you eat out?

I have had many different brands and types of red and white wine and had no gluten reactions.

I went wine tasting yesterday and had a gluten reaction, too. I experienced swelling (4 pounds fluid retention) and a minor flare of eczema and rosacea.

After some research, the curing of the wine barrels can often contain gluten.

What's a serve response?

Typo, I'm sure. Poster meant to type "severe."

I have severe reactions to wine because I have a sensitivity to Sulfites and will break out with rosacea.  Hypersensitivity to Sulfites can be life threatening.  

As Count Dracula says, "I never drink....wine."  😼

The theory about the wheat paste used to seal the barrels being a cause of gluten reactions has largely been discredited I believe. Someone posted about that very recently but I don't have any links. It's more likely your reaction from drinking wine is due to something else as per what knitty kitty posted.

Edit: I have trouble with wine, red or white. It doesn't give me a celiac reaction but migraines. I'm wondering if it's the histamines.

I don't do well on wine either. It used to give me migraines, but since I've stopped eating grains, I can tolerate it much better. I do best on imported organic red wine.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
