Livingston Wine?

Anyone know about Livingston Wine? It's one of those ordinary California wines, and I've been drinking the white zinfandel. I've always been able to drink this before with no problems, but now suddenly I can't. One glass and I wake up with this horrible headache. It's the same wine as before this whole gluten thing. Same type, same company, etc.

I looked at the list on the Bailey's thread (used to LOVE Bailey's... ) and don't see Livingston specifically. Anyone know?

I have emailed the company and am waiting to hear back but just wondered if anyone here knew.

What did people do in the days before the internet when they needed to know something? lol... :lol:

Is it just Livingston that's causing it? A lot of celiacs report problems with pretty much any alcohol after going gluten free. I *think* I'm starting to get my ability to drink it back (knock on wood) but for the first year of gluten free, any amount made me feel like crap.

There is no gluten in wine so it most likely is the sulfites which are giving you grief. People often notice problems with other substances after going gluten free.

I had problems with dairy crop up after 2 years gluten-free so it does happen. Once your body starts to heal, you may react differently to foods or substances that never seemed to give you a problem before. Headaches are classic with sulfite ingestion.

There are sulfite free wines out there so maybe you might want to try one of those.

Yes, I know wines don't naturally have gluten but I've read that there can be gluten in the starch-based "glue" that's used on the wooden barrels.

Well, I just got an email from them, and it seems that Livingston is owned by Gallo. lol... And Gallo is on that list.

Yes, it could be the sulfites, although I've never been bothered before. But as you all said, other things can show up after going gluten-free. sigh..

Well, I'm not giving up my once-in-awhile glass of wine so I'll go look for sulfite-free ones.

The glue on the wooden barrel idea has been thrown about here on this board and, so far, has never been proven to be true. I highly doubt that there is any merit whatsoever to it as nothing of any kind of warning has been heard from any of the reputable Celiac organizations on this subject and if it were such a problem, someone would have published a warning of some kind....or at least an article of mention.

I have seen quite a few of the sulfite free wines at the liquor stores in my area so you should be able to find some without too much trouble. I wouldn't give up the wine either....and I drink more often than once in a while! ;)

I think the only wooden barrels around Gallo are decorations at the door to the corporate office. :)

Lol... probably true. Wooden barrels seems kind of old-fashioned anyway, although I'm sure the high-class French wineries use them still. lol... My wine leans more in the direction of a twist-off top, so any vat would probably do. :lol:

Since going gluten-free, I've found one or two glasses of wine can feel like four or five glasses. Someone suggested to me that it's because as a gluten-free person, you're not eating the pastas and breads WITH your wine to help soak it up... anyway, just a thought.

I am really hyper sensitive and a big wine drinker so I have been through some of those things you describe.

1. Some companies *do* seal their barrels with gluten. However since you wrote that it has changed I doubt that is the cause, most companies rarely change barreling companies.

Ex StaVin seal their barrels with a flour paste .

Open Original Shared Link

2. The more likely reason is that the company has changed their clarifying process. Usually all wine is clarified with animal product that are filtered off. Research made 2002 and 2003? (I think it was something like that) showed that wheat gluten could be used as a clarifying agent but the availability commercial gluten clarifies has been low until now. However if they want to switch their wines to vegetarian or possibly kosher wines gluten would be an attractive choice.

If you belong to the group of people who, against all better judgment, still can't drink distilled spirits made from grains and can drink distilled spirits made from 100% agave/corn/potatoes a switch to a gluten based clarifying agent could be the cause.

Resent Italian research has shown that gliadin levels in red wine should be undetectable with the methods used today but the report was unsure white wines.

Hope this helps.

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
