Gluten And Wine?

Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced gluten symptoms from wine? Specifically white wine? I've been getting mild symptoms after having white wine the main symptom being the lump of mucus feeling in the throat and I'm wondering what that is. I know wine is gluten free so it seems odd that it would be a glutening symptom. I'm wondering if it's just causing some GERD? Anyone have any thoughts?

Some people react to sulfates in wine. Have you looked into this?

You could be reacting to the sulfides in the wine. Some do. I do tend to get GERD from time to time with wine. Make sure you eat something with your wine. It helps.

I'm fine with white wine, red gets me. Headache. Not worth it.

Lots of interesting things to react to in wine. Sulfites and yeast in all non-organic wines, histamine, phenolics, and tyramine in red wine. I wonder if your "lump in the throat" is a little allergic swelling?

sulfites for me! Get me every time

I have no problem with wine, whether red or white. But the other posters have identified issues that you may have with wine which are unrelated to gluten. Many of us have other sensitivities beyond just gluten.

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
