Sudden Alcohol Intolerance

I've been gluten-free for around 2 months now. Before going gluten-free I didn't drink frequently, but when I did I could drink quite a bit (for my size), drink some water before bed and be fine the next morning. About a month after going gluten-free I drank some tequila. The next day I was so sick-- horrible headache and throwing up. I figured it was just because I had not drank liquor in a while and that I over indulged (although I had never had a hangover or thrown up from alcohol). Then about 2 weeks ago I went to a bacheorette party and had a couple glasses of wine. The next morning I was super sick again. I actually threw up at a restaurant twice, and I was sick almost the entire day.

I was starting to think it was a new intolerance or something but last night I had some gluten-free beer. I only had two with dinner and I drank some water afterwords. Before the night was even over I was throwing up, and now, today, I have a headache and feel nauseous. I've read that some other people have this reaction after going gluten-free. What are you experiences? AND does anyone know why this happens!? I'm so tired of being sick!

Thanks,

Megan

I don't know why it happens, but it seems to be a common thing. Any amount of alcohol makes me feel like crap--as I'm drinking it, not the next day. Like you, I could drink fine before going gluten free.

I've looked into different reasons for this, but so far nothing's panned out.

there's no reason for alarm, you may just be hypersensitive now... (since going 100% gluten free- i now have stronger reactions to additional intolerances OR maybe our bodies have become more vigilant)

but- maybe you should get your liver checked too by your doc

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

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the...

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
