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*

Yes but its gotta be a good accupuncturist who really knows what theyre doing. and believe me, i know how much of a pain it is.

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.

      I don't have symptoms now. But this DGP IgG is high than normal. I read your article. Very nice by the way. Based on it I don't need to do DGP IgG because I don't have IgA deficiency. I did it first time because those days I didn't know the right procedure for blood tests so I did all. What might you do if you was me? Just keep eating gluten and do tests again after some time? Biopsy is not available in my town. I also read somewhere if a person has NCGS he doesn't have any blood tests high. Very confusing situation.

      What can I do next? Just continue getting gluten from food and do the tests again after some time like 6 months while observing symptoms if any? I read somewhere if a person has NCGS he shouldn't have any blood tests high. So I'm worry.

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.
