Here is a weird question. Has anyones tolerance to alcohol changed? I can't drink ANY form of alcohol anymore. I love wine. There is no gluten in wine and I would assume my reaction to wine should be the same now as it was before going gluten free. But no, 2-3 glasses transforms me into a very volital person. I anger easily and throw little hissy fits. I have embarrased my husband on two seperate occasions now. I have decided not to consume wine any more but that is bumming me out. I have already given up so many things. I understand a life can be full and fun without wine or alcohol and I reallly wont miss much. I just do enjoy the relaxing nature it used to offer. Hope there is someone out there that can shed some light on this for me.

Could it just be you are not drinking alcohol as much as you did before you were diagnosed and your tolerence level how gone done? Basically you may just be getting "drunk" faster than you are used to.

I know I have gotten drunk quicker because I have been drinking vodka when I used to be a beer drinker.

Also, I read a low carb diet lowers your alchol tolerence. I've experinced that at a Bruce Springsteen concert. Bob Dylan came out and played a song with him which I had to be told had happened. Anyway since we are not eating bread, grains etc maybe all out tolerences are effected.

Just my two cents.

Good thought. I certainly don't know. I sure eat enough of rice and the various flours that are allowed in this gluten-free diet. You could be right. Thanks for your two cents

I have had a similiar experience , i was drunk completely after three glasses of white wine and passed out.

I believe it to be a leaky gut problem associated with coeliac disease and alcohol is to be avoided, besides it is an irritant and bad for your gut.

I have the same experience -- and it is definitely a bummer not to have the pleasurable effects of alcohol anymore. I go straight to the feeling extremely tired part after just one small glass of wine (which used to happen only after several drinks), skipping that nice relaxed buzz part entirely. I'm really hoping that when my body heals, eventually, I'll be able to experience that buzz again.

There is an extensive and relevant thread on this in the Sleep forum. It starts by discussing alcohol and sleep specifically, but branches out to general alcohol tolerance:

I have also found that my tolerance to alcohol is lower. I've been following a gluten free diet for about 3 years now and am finally feeling better (its been a long road, but well worth it). About a year ago, I noticed that even after 1 drink, I felt crummy the next day (almost like a hangover), so I've decided not to consume alcohol at all. When I go out, I order tonic with lime (no gin), or if I'm going to a house party, I bring some mocktails that are available in my grocery store. No one has even noticed. Also, I'm always good to be the designated driver.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
