Last night I was over at my aunties and uncles, along with a lot of other people, so I was drinking my gluten-free beer of course.

One of the guys, who already had more than enough to drink, asked me the weirdest question ever, but in the same way, a good question :lol:

He asked me...if you get drunk on gluten-free beer, would you have the same type of hangover as you'd get from drinking normal beer?? :blink::lol:

..not that I'll try it to find that answer haha

Hangovers are caused by dehydration, vitamin depletion (the body trys to rid itself of the alcohol and takes alot more with it) and are influenced by the sugar content of the alcohol, as the body tries to deal with that as well.

The gluten-free beers I've seen seem to have more sugar (in the form of mollases or honey) content than regular beers, and so might give you a worse hangover!

Drink lots of water to help your body flush the alcohol and take a multi-vitamin and your hangovers (if you ever get there) will never be as bad as thiers.

At college, we always had a water monitor when people were drinking. (I usually played water girl, and pushed water on people as they were drinking, and after they were done drinking. Lots of water, throughout the night.) Almost no one ever had a hangover, and when they did, it's because they weren't drinking water. Even if someone had drunk too much, and was huggin' the toilet, I'd still be bringing them water. (Alternating with Gatorade or a vitamin-water would be better, but we didn't think of that seven years ago.)

A hangover for you or for him? I mean, for him it would be the same, but add being glutened to being hungover ... :blink::)

The strange thing is, back in college in my pre-gluten-free days, I knew beer made me sicker than other alcohol. Makes sense now. I drank rum or tequila back then. Strange that I went for the stuff I can have.

Pre-gluten-free I drank lots of beer and I would get 48 hour hangovers. I had no idea it was the gluten. Now I drink gluten-free beer and no hangover, just an empty wallet. LOL

This is about how I would feel, and it wouldn't take much beer either!!! I learned that I could tolerate rum and tequila. If I could have just learned that pizza was making me ill, that would have helped even more!

Me neither, I would get a horrible hangover from two beers. If only I knew a decade ago (or more) what I know now. I loved the taste of beer and bread, now that I think about it.

Ryan, you can order it at your local liquor board store. Mine here in Canora have been doing it ever since it existed lol. And I'm the only one here who drinks it! La Messagere is the name of it. Takes a few beers to get used to, but now I can down them like any other drink lol

If you have anymore questions about it, just ask!

When I was working in certain dry countires we used to make beer from a german baby suppliment which was basically malted corn and every time I went back to the UK and drank beer I got the worst hangovers after 1-2 pints...

I used to wonder why I would get a hangover even if I drank non-alcoholic beer, and one grain vodka drink would send me to never never land. Since diagnosis I drink wine and potato vodka and have never had a trace of a hangover.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.
