This is not bother, but this site is FULL of information at only the tap of you fingers. The site index on this page has countless information.

We have all been where you are, and as I have said, the key is learning to read ingredients on products. They do change and what what was known to be gluten free a year ago, may not be currently.

You have to rely on 1-800 numbers and be current with those. I have recommend certain products but slacking off that. I don't remember safe products...I read labels now and if doubt, I call. There are some safe companies that I will recommend.

Everyone needs to be their own safe keeper of heath. Only your can protect you good health.

You could be reacting to sulphites which are found in red wine among other things.

Hi all: This is a good question - and you're not bothering anyone when you ask about it. I know it is hard to get to all the reading when you are too busy - so that's what us friends are here for. To interchange information on these topics. But after you talk to someone on board about it, look it up or call the manufacturer - I know that might not be possible with wines as the bottle only shows the address of the distributor.

Merlot is safe for celiacs unless you are drinking something that is not pure wine. When out, have bartender show you the bottle.

Sulfites are in wine and it can cause diarrhea if you are sensitive to it. Sulfites (preservatives) are added to wine and occur naturally in wine. Some wineries do not use added sulfites but you have to find out from wine store which ones they are. If you are sensitive to sulfites, the more wine you drink, the more diarrhea you'll have.

Also, wine has a little mold in it due to natural fermentation and you could be sensitive to both mold and sulfites.

I hope this helps. Bring on the questions! :)

Hi,

wine can be a problem for me too and I have reactions similar to those you describe. I learned from a more experienced, equally hyper-sensitive friend that you can try drinking unfiltered red wines. Since I started drinking the unfiltered reds, I haven't had a problem. I've started compiling a list of brands that are ok with me here: Open Original Shared Link. Just click on the 'wine' link. The list isn't long yet, but it's growing.

If you look for unfiltered red wines in your local liquor store, you may or may not have any luck in getting help from the management. The one good thing to know is that if they are unfiltered, they typically say "unfiltered" on the label on the back of the bottle. My favorites so far have been from Argentina. Good luck!

People sometimes react to the fining agents used in wine, which can include common allergens like casein, egg, or fish (yes, you read that right). This is why some people do better with vegan wines. Unfiltered wines would accomplish the same thing.

Also, I've read that sometimes a wheat-based glue is used on wine casks. I don't know if there have been any known reactions from this, though. My understanding is that there is no test available now for knowing how much, if any, gluten is in the final product. (At least, this is what the wine sellers are saying.)

There is currently a proposal to require allergen labeling on wines. It is being disputed by vintners, of course.

Can you drink other alcohols and not feel bad? I'm intolerant to all alcohol <_< , all of it makes me feel like you do today.

Sometimes I can drink a glass or two of something and feel okay, sometimes I feel very, very sick. It's completely unrelated to gluten intolerance though.

Do you feel this way when you're glutened? If so, maybe gluten is the culprit.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow.

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
