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.

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible. The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected. Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases. Like I explained...

      Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy? Sorry for all the questions!

      Absolutely no danger of overdosing on the stuff. Thiamine is nontoxic, and safe. I had gotten to 1000 mg of Thiamine HCl a day at one point. Do continue taking the multivitamin with the other B vitamins. You may want to add a magnesium supplement because magnesium and thiamine make enzymes together. I like Magnesium l-Threonate (Neuro-Mag by life...

      Thanks so much for your replies! no danger of overdosing on the stuff? or having the other B levels going out of whack? I do take a multivitamin with all te other B vitamins at the RDA level. I have bought the HCL version of Thiamine. How long do you need to use the Thiamine? a short periode on high levels and then back to a maintenance dosage?

      Kudos for trying thiamine! On the ingredients label it should say if it's thiamine hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) or thiamine mononitrate or something else. Thiamine mononitrate is shelf stable and not easily utilized in the body. Yes, go ahead and try a whole 100 mg tablet. Take with a meal. Don't take close to bedtime. Tomorrow take...

The next day take two 100mg tablets at one meal and 100 mg at second meal.  Keep increasing in this manner as long as you notice improvement.   When I first started with thiamine hydrochloride, I felt like the lights in my head were being turned on floor by floor like in a tall skyscraper.  It's just the brain working...
