I have heard this tale about wine many times, but have never found any credible evidence that wine contains gluten. I drink wine without any reservations.

I was waiting for your post Peter! Thanks!

Well, I actually found one that Peter missed. Yeah for me! :blink::lol: It is possible to get wine barrels sealed with wheat paste. Here is a place that sells them to wine makers. That doesn't mean that every wine out there has been stored in a barrel sealed with wheat paste of course. Probably most larger wineries use stainless steel storage tanks for their wine. So, it might not be a bad idea to check with the winemaker on it. I suppose it might be possible for them to change to a rice flour paste if enough people asked them nicely. Or we could ask them for a list of wineries that buy their barrels too.

The quote is near the bottom of the page on making the barrels.

More on the Mighty Oak Barrel

....

"After the toasting level is reached, the coopers are ready to finish assembling the oak barrel. The grooves inside the oak barrel (called crozes) receive an application of wheat flour paste (while the barrel is upright). After this the crozes have heads fitted in. Put into place with a large mallet, the final hooping is then complete."

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Jmartes71, Please do get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  A good B Complex, Vitamin D, Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine Vitamin B1 that promotes intestinal healing), Vitamin D and magnesium are a good way to start. Correcting nutritional deficiencies with Thiamine supplements (like Benfotiamine), B Complex, and Vitamin D were my miracles. How are you doing?  Sending prayers.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, I think you should send the National Institute of Health peer reviewed studies I linked to your doctors.  Some doctors don't keep abreast of the recent updates to Celiac diagnosis.  They may still be operating under the old idea of waiting until intestinal damage is at a Marsh score of 3C or 4 (complete villus atrophy) before diagnosis of Celiac is made.  Better to diagnose before it gets that severe.   Much of the damage to the small intestines is microscopic and NOT visible to the naked eye.   Since you've got Celiac genes, it would be beneficial if you kept to a strict gluten free diet.  Exposure to gluten and an environmental stress (like an infection or physical stress or emotional trauma) are needed for the Celiac genes to become activated.  If you don't have active Celiac now, a gluten free diet now will help prevent developing it in future.

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the pathology but ugh, I just want a clear answer so whatever it is, I can move forward!!

      Newly Diagnosed

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.
