I've been reading that some wines might have barley added? I've never been bothered by wine before but I had a LITTLE of a Charles Shaw White Zin last night and definitely had symptoms during the night. It's the only thing I can think of that could have caused it. Thoughts?

I use the white routinely in rissoto with no problems. It's a staple in my kitchen for cooking.

We are very sensitive and use 2-Buck Chuck wines frequently with no problems. The only wines we've reacted to were those aged in barrels sealed with wheat or rye paste.

Oh my gosh, I thought ALL wine was gluten-free. Is there a list of non-gluten-free wines anywhere?

Thank you to the original poster for this thread, and thank you nasalady, for your post.

I also had symptoms after eating shrimp and drinking 2 buck chuck white zin a few weeks ago. This was at a potluck, and I thought perhaps the shrimp may have had something in it....it was purchased cooked (I did not purchase it). We have 1 bottle of chuck white zin left, so perhaps I will try it again and see if I get sick. I'm not allergic to shrimp.

Hi Lynayah,

Unfortunately there's no comprehensive list, but what we've done is to call our favorite wineries and ask which wines (if any) are aged in new barrels that have been sealed with wheat or rye paste. For example, at one small winery (Claiborne and Churchill) they only do this with their Pinot Noirs, which made sense to us because that's what we were drinking when we got glutened! :)

Another winery (Kynsi) told us that all of their whites are in stainless steel, so we know we're safe with those.

Here's a link to an older webpage (some of the links therein are broken) about gluten free wines:

Good luck!

P.S. Are any of you who have reacted to wines allergic to casein or eggs? Because I just remembered that those substances (among others) are sometimes used during the "fining" process during wine-making. Here is a link to an old thread where they discuss this subject (from this board):

And a link to a page about the process of fining:

I'm allergic to casein. Last night had more "store bought by someone else" shrimp, and Sutter Home White Merlot, and had no symptoms at all. Since I have so many food issues, am never sure what causes my symptoms. I have recently discovered that Arizona Sweet Tea gives me diarrhea and abdominal pain if I drink more than 1 glass a day, yet I can drink Arizona Caffeine Free Herbal Tea without a problem. Some days I feel like a guinea pig, but each day I learn more and more about what I can eat without a problem, then eat plenty of it.

Thank you to the poster mentioning eggs and casein!!!! Those are both on my intolerance list. I know the feeling if guinea pig as I have so many intolerance that SOMETHING is likely to bother me. But when I stay home and dot own cooking I don't usually have to worry quite so much! Thanks everyone!!

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign that she’s advocating for you to be seen sooner, which shows she’s taking your case seriously. The fact that some labs might not have been drawn yet due to overlap with your functional health doctor’s upcoming testing adds a layer of confusion, but that’s unfortunately common when multiple providers are involved. Hopefully, the GI’s remaining labs will still get processed, or she can reorder them if needed. As for the colonoscopy prep, it’s totally understandable that you're dreading it—many people rank it among the least pleasant medical experiences. You’re definitely not alone in preferring the pill prep option over the liquid kind, especially if you don’t drink Gatorade and had a rough experience with Miralax in the past. Hopefully, your doctor will approve the pill form, especially since you’ve tolerated other options poorly before. Fortunately, the upper endoscopy doesn’t require any bowel prep—just fasting, usually starting the night before—so that part should be easier to handle. It’s great that you’re already trying to boost your gluten intake, but yes, tracking gluten content can be surprisingly tricky. You’re right that the general rule for wheat-based products is to multiply the protein content by about 0.75 to estimate the gluten content. That means foods like oyster crackers, while convenient, may not pack enough gluten to help reach the recommended daily goal of around 10 grams before biopsy. It’s helpful that you caught that early, and switching to more gluten-dense foods like regular wheat bread, pasta, or wheat cereals might make it easier to hit your target. It’s not easy eating more gluten when you’re trying to manage symptoms or just not used to it, but doing so can make a big difference in ensuring your biopsies are accurate. You’re on the right track—hopefully with a little luck, you’ll get a cancellation and be seen sooner.

      Worried about being isolated

      Thanks for sharing that film, @trents.  I am not sure how I missed that film as I see it is a few years old, but it is very good.  I think you should be fine if you take your own packed lunch and eat it from your own lunchbox etc.  Might be worth doing a lunchtime recce to see how cramped the room is before making a decision - for all you know, there may be other people  there who don't eat gluten?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      The GI doc messaged me this afternoon that she believes that the new blood work added to the old is definitely  looking like a celiac diagnosis is in my future.  She wants to me to call into scheduling each Monday to see if I can get my August 29th appointment moved up due to cancellations.  I have never had a doctor recommend that.  She also said there were additional labs that she requested still out that have not come back yet; so, they may have been missed drawing those since the functional health doctor has a whole slew of labs that I am suppose to be waiting until August 27th to do. I am still waiting to hear on whether or not she will allow me to do pill prep versus the typical gatorade prep that I did 8 years ago for that colonoscopy.  I do not drink gatorade to begin with and that miralax prep kept me in the bathroom up until we drove to the procedure.  My younger brother said the pill form was fairly easy when the liquid form is hard to swallow. Colonoscopy prep is definitely close to number one on the list of things I never want to experience again if I could avoid it.  Number one is a different medication that caused severe cramping that had me in tears until it wore off.  Never having had an endoscopy, I have no idea of what that prep is like, but it cannot be worse right? I started munching on oyster crackers last night.  It is shocking how filling they are.  I just read that I need to pay attention to the protein content of the wheat bread product or I will miss the gluten goal of 10 g per day prior to testing.  The post said that I should look at the protein and multiple that number by .75 if it is a wheat flour product to see how much gluten is in it.  No more oyster crackers for me.  I would have to eat 10 oz bag everyday to meet my goal.  not going to happen.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By Alibu · Posted

      Well, I've made if from the pre-diagnosis forum to here!  I've been diagnosed with "latent" or "potential" celiac and my doctor has suggested me to go gluten-free before my appointment with him in October (first available, LOL).  My ttg-iga was 152, my EMA was positive, I have the gene, but my biopsy was negative (and he took 12 samples), so it makes sense to go gluten free to see if I improve. I know the basics - I can find lists of things to avoid, I know about hidden dangers, etc. all of that.  Where I'm struggling is just STARTING.  I need to go shopping and stock up on some staples.  My goal is to not try to find gluten-free alternatives, but to focus on naturally gluten-free foods like proteins, veggies, fruits, and carbs like potatoes and rice.  However, the rest of the household will not be gluten-free, which is fine, I don't want them to for various reasons.  But I have SO much food in my house in the pantry and fridge and cabinets, and it feels like I need to get rid of a lot in order for me to start fresh, but at the same time, I can't get rid of everything. I guess it's just feeling overwhelming and I've never given up gluten before so this is going to be a huge shift for me and I feel like I need SPACE, but I can't quite have that. Any advice on just getting started and organizing myself would be great!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you were finally able to see a gastroenterologist—and even luckier to get in the same day as your referral! It sounds like your GI is taking a very thorough approach, which is reassuring given your complex symptoms and history. The confusion around your different tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody results is understandable. The variation between your December and June labs may be due to multiple factors, including differences in the lab performing the test (Quest vs. Mayo Clinic), the specific assay used, and the amount of gluten you had been consuming before each test. Antibody levels can drop significantly when gluten is reduced or eliminated from the diet, even partially, which might explain why your recent tTG IgA was now negative and your tTG IgG was borderline high. That’s likely why your GI mentioned it was “usually the reverse”—typically, tTG IgA is more commonly elevated in confirmed celiac, not IgG alone, especially when IgA levels are sufficient, as yours are. Your gene testing confirms that you carry HLA types (DQ2.2 most likely) that are permissive for celiac disease, meaning you can develop it, but not everyone with these genes will. These genes don’t explain why your symptoms are milder or different from others with celiac—many people have so-called "silent" or atypical presentations like yours, with issues like long-term heartburn, loose stools, nutrient intolerances, or just gradually adapting to symptoms over time. It’s not uncommon to assume these symptoms are just aging, medication side effects, or lifestyle-related until someone finally connects the dots. It’s a good thing your daughter advocated for you to be tested—many cases are missed for years because they don’t follow the “textbook” presentation. As for the immunoglobulin tests, your doctor likely ordered those to ensure your immune system is functioning normally, particularly your IgA level, since a deficiency can cause false-negative celiac blood tests. Since your IgA level is normal, your tTG IgA test should be reliable (assuming adequate gluten intake), but again, if you weren't eating enough gluten, that could explain the lower antibody levels now. The comprehensive metabolic panel and negative stool parasite results are additional pieces ruling out other causes of your symptoms, like infections or organ dysfunction. The upcoming endoscopy and colonoscopy should provide more definitive answers, especially with biopsies looking for celiac disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and microscopic colitis. It’s completely valid to feel unsure about what you’re experiencing, especially when your symptoms have been lifelong or gradually worsening without being severe. You’re not alone—many adults with celiac or gluten-related disorders report subtle or chronic symptoms they’ve normalized. You’re doing the right thing by staying on gluten now through your procedure date in August. Try not to stress about reaching the full 6-slice equivalent each day, but do increase your gluten intake as much as tolerable (e.g., a couple of pieces of bread, pasta, crackers, etc.) to give the biopsy the best chance of detecting any damage. Good luck with your upcoming procedures—you’re closer than ever to answers and a clearer direction forward.
