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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
