First Time Drinking Alcohol After Symptoms Clearing

About a week ago, I was glutened, and was over my symptoms and back to normal feeling, aside from a few body aches yesterday. Being that I was feeling better, I decided to move back to normal life, how I would have been pre-glutening (before being glutened I was completely gluten-free for about 4 months). So I made up a batch of margaritas a few hours ago, and they were delicious. I used Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila and Dekuyper Triple Sec, both of which I'd had before with no issue. The one change I made was using Kroger brand limeade frozen concentrate, rather than Meijer brand (Meijer lists theirs as gluten-free on their website). I went to bed a bit after having the margaritas, feeling a bit buzzed, but not too bad.

Fast forward to now, it's about 3 hours later, and I just woke up in a cold sweat, with terrible acid reflux, which seems to be subsiding. Am I just reacting to the alcohol so soon after a glutening, or did I get glutened again? When I went to bed, I was barely buzzed, but fell asleep within minutes, and woke up very hard, and like I said, in a cold sweat, and with bad acid reflux. Those appear to be my only symptoms thus far.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm not sure about but you could have gotten gluten. Since being gluten free I react badly to most alcohols except rum. I'm not a big drinker in the first place but the first time I drank vodka after going gluten free I was sick with in a couple minutes. I've also noticed that a lot of time store brands of things will have gluten in them whereas the name brands do not.

Everything in your drink would seem to be gluten-free.

I've been celiac for about 6 years and gluten free about 2 months margaritas, rum and coke, potato based vodka and a beer called Red Bridge made by Anheuser Busch, are the only alcoholic beverages I consume and have never had any problems. The same goes for my mom who was diagnosed and been on a strict diet of gluten free products. The very sight of gluten-free makes her stomach hurt it seems. That being said Sounds like something else got ya.

      I was diagnosed at 6 after having severe stomach pain after eating white bread or any kind of gluten my sister had one done aswell I was scared for the biopsy but thats bc the gas mask thing but now that I am a 14yr old female struggling with severe chronic pain making my body ache for no reason making it hard to sleep and do the things I love like playing spot which I love to do but I can sometimes not even be able to walk bc my knees hurt so bad I can or my hips or back the only think I wish for is to be a normal kid which I can't even be and I get accused of faking pain bc there is no physical things to notice especially at school when one day it will be so sore im limping the next im walking perfectly fine idk if its all from celiac disease but im the only one in my family that has this problem

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.
