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.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
