Alcohol...

So for as long as I could remember I have been experiencing a problem with alcohol. I drink relatively small amounts as it is, but the real issue occurs when I go out dancing after having had a few. I begin to get sharp, stabbing pains in my stomach, which eventually turn into chronic cramping - so much so that I can't move. Last week, it came to a head where the pains got so bad that I fainted.

I have Coeliac, and IBS: could it be related to either of these, or is it just symptomatic of having a generally sensitive gut?

What are you drinking?

I have problems with Absolut, it is made from wheat. I know they say all distilled alcohol is supposed to be Gluten-free, but I am very sensitive to getting a gluten reaction. I can drink rum or 100% agave tequila with no issues whatsoever!

It's most definately related to IBS. I had the worst IBS for a long time as well and had the same problem when I drank. Accupuncture and accupressure helped my IBS alot, I definately recommend trying it.

(and of course make sure what your drinking is truely gluten-free)

Accupuncture, really? I will definitely have to try it...

Usually, I drink wine (red, for the most part) but if I'm going out to dance I usually switch to Malibu and pineapple - so, rum, which I know is meant to be safe...

IBS is a pain. *sigh*

I have never been able to tolerate alcohol apart from an occasional well-diluted Pimms and the very low or no alcohol cheap plonk. I never knew why. It would make me cough something awful and go straight to my bowels!

It wasn't until recently when my stomach was really bad and I took some Slippery Elm and reacted to it that the penny dropped. I did some research to try and figure out what had affected me and discovered that Slippery Elm contains tannins. As I don't cope with tea very well either, which also contains tannins I realised what was going on and that tannins are the problem.

Now I am on the SCD I hope that my digestion will heal enough eventually for me to be able to cope with them again.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
