Can Beer Do This?

My son, 17, is gluten sensitive. He does not normally have the loose stools, just stomach pain and achy muscles, although he has intestinal damage. He drank a bunch of beer on a Saturday night and the following Tuesday he woke up with severe stomach pain that lasted for about a week, although it is almost gone now. He also hurt all over and was exhausted. Is it possible 1) for the reaction to be delayed several days after consumption and 2) can the reaction last this long? He had been doing so well before this. And he is in big trouble for drinking too! Thanks for any info. We are somewhat new to this.

Sounds plausible to me! My reactions last about 5 days, but they are not delayed. I have heard that others have delayed reactions.

Yes it is most likely the gluten. I get the brain fog and stuff soon after consumption but my D takes a few days. He also needs to be made aware that for people that don't drink all the time drinking a large amount can be fatal. A freind lost his son after just a couple months at college. All he was drinking was beer but he passed out and aspirated his vomit after his 'freinds' just tossed him in a bathroom and left him there. I know you will think of an appropriate punishment, does he drive yet? Taking keys and computer for a month or so would not seem out of line to me.

For this reason, I would be happy he did have such a severe reaction to the beer!

If he drove after drinking, I'd take away his license and not pay his insurance ever again. You are the one who signed to be responsible for his driving, so if he showed irresponsibility I'd take the privilege away. If he didn't drive, I would do as Ravenwoodglass mentioned.

Besides all the bad things that could have happened--beer is not gluten free and if he is gluten sensitive, he needs to stay away from beer. Deb

Thanks for all the input. My son did not drive that way, thank goodness. Hopefully he learned something from this experience.

Make sure his punishment is strict and stick to it! As a high school teacher I have kids who get in trouble for drinking and come in the next day joking about how lax their parents were about their punishment. At first I thought they might just be putting on a show for their friends but then I spoke to a teacher who actually knew this kid's mom and she said, yup, he isn't really in trouble at all. That is ridiculous. By the end of the year the kid had 2 DUI's.

Yes that can cause his problems. Some people see reactions right away while some don't and my reactions last a good 2 weeks and sometimes longer. He really needs to learn to stick with the diet because it can be life threatening if not followed.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
