Alcohol Issues/l-glutathione

I found out I have celiacs about two weeks ago, Cut out all gluten and such that night.I have been feeling better, but I still have some days where my stomach gets pretty upset. The few nights I have consumed alcohol, the next day I feel horrible, and am very sick to my stomach. I had one beer, a gluten, wheat and barley free beer and felt horrible the next day. I have also had a little rum, and the same thing. I was wondering if perhaps im so damaged my body just cant absorb the alcohol, or..? Anyone else have this issue? Any advice? As of now, I have completely cut out alcohol.

Also, Im taking l-glutathione. Anyone have luck with this?

I have read and heard from multipe sources that you should actually avoid actual for 6mths-1year depending on how much damage you have done to your insides which you can normally find out when you have you biopsy if you had one.

I know myself, if I drink than I will be recovering the whole next day, and I mean violently ill. I was diagnosed in mar/08, and I am waiting for the day when I can have more than 2 drinks and not get so sick.

Hope this helps

Good luck!

One of my many signs of a problem with my gut was when I couldn't tolerate the glasses of wine I would have on a Friday night out with the girls... All of a sudden I would get deathly ill and need 2 days to really recover. I've been gluten free for 5 mos, casein and soy free for 1 month and still am very sensitive to alcohol. More than one glass of wine and I have trembles, headache and fatigue the next day.

I do get very sick from alcohol when I've been glutened. I'd hold off on alcohol for a while until you have longer to heal. What brand of beer just out of curiosity? People are trying to tell me I can drink Budweiser all the time because it's brewed from... umm, I can't remember exactly what, but it's some gluten-free grain (can I blame this one on brain fog :P) People forget about the added malt.

Dear new community member,

I could not drink any wine or any type of liquor for a very long time after diagnosis. Now (6 years later) I can tolerate one or two drinks, sometimes.It varies as far as tolerance. My Dr., who does not drink, suggested that I should not drink at all. That' unnecessarily extreme ! However, since you are newly diagnosed, may I suggest you give your poor struggling body a chance to really heal. You 'll never regret that. I am sure you'll miss having an occasional 'brew' . I suggest you follow your body's tolerance. You can't go wrong doing that. I have no regrets.

Budweiser is'nt gluten free. Anheiser busch (sp) is the company that produces budweiser.They make a beer however called redbridge...its completely gluten and free and not so bad.

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
