No More Wine For Me.

Ok, we went wine tasting yesterday - was our first "fun" day in a while.

I did all the smart things - ate well and hydrated the day before, ate breakfast, packed a lunch for us....

And I got so sick. The sickest I've ever been from drinking. Ever.

It took 12 hours of vomiting to even hold down water.

I never want to see or smell or drink wine again. And I love wine. Loved wine.

I'm finally eating a little - I really miss my hangover cure if an egg mcmuffin and dr. Pepper. Hubby went out at 11:30 last night for Gatorade....just sent him to the store for hamburger fixings and dr. Pepper....I really need a greasy meaty hamburger.

Ugh. Anyway, just my $0.02-be careful with the alcohol if you're still healing. You may have a strong, unexpected reaction.

Yeah. I tried tequila a while back. I had two drinks over the course of about three hours. Then I went home and threw them up. Never again!

Yeah...your tolerance does change after going gluten free. :ph34r:

Been there, done that. Blacking out in the shower! Scared the hell out of my then boyfriend, who is now my fiance. He took it like such a champ, though. *Shudders* It took me two years and a trip to Europe to convince me of the merits of red wine after that little experiment.

If you can buy Kinickkinick "engish muffins" they make decent homemade egg mcmuffins. I put english muffins in quotes because, although they call them english muffins they are closer in texture to a biscuit, not really an English but not a biscuit either, yet they make a decent breakfast sandwhich. I also like Udi's bagels for making breakfast sammies.

For the greasy hamburger go to a Five Guys (if you have one) and ask them to make it for you with lettuce wedges instead of buns. The only thing in Five Guys with gluten is the buns. If you tell them you have an "allergy" to the buns they will change their gloves and be really careful. The greasy (yummy) fries are safe too because that's all they fry there.

Hope you get over the hangover soon!

Same here, but with vodka. I used to down liquor like a champ, out drink everyone and still walk in a straight line and speak coherently. A few weeks back, I had gone out, and gotten sick cause apparently my tolerance changed. I haven't gotten sick from drinking in about 4 years. I'm not drinking again. I said that when I was 19, and it's 9 years later, and I actually mean it!

Sad part is I didn't drink that much - only hit 3 wineries.

We would usually hit 7 and then go out for dinner and drink more.

Probably didn't help that one was sweet wines. Ugh. Don't want to think about it.

Same here, alcohol has become a real issue. Feels like it is going directly to my veins like I have no tolerance for it. It makes my Ataxia worse. I had some champagne with crab legs the other night, something I have not had in months, an old favorite. Not good! I was so dizzy the next day. It wasn't a dizzy from gluten, almost like I was drunk but I wasn't. I wasn't dehydrated, wasn't feeling anything associated with that. Guessing there's alot of healing yet, or maybe this is how it always will be.

I can definitely attest to this. Been gluten-free almost 3 years. I'm 21 btw and I can't drink - kinda sucks

strange! I didn't know this was a symptom. If I drink on an empty stomach I get fuzzy after just one drink, when usually it takes two or three, but I haven't noticed a major difference in my alcohol tolerance. I was diagnosed with celiac maybe eight months after turning 21 so I'd already been drinking a fair bit before I went gluten free.

I have had to give up alcohol though because of a persistent problem with acid reflux... :( and on my elimination diet gin is the only alcohol I can have that I actually like, but gin is soooo expensive here! so I just abstain.

I didn't notice a difference, either.....until Friday.

But oh it was BAD.

Have you considered CC from other areas not just the wine? I've been to a several wineries in the past and in addition to the wine they usually serve cheese and crackers or some type of snack or allow people to bring in their own meals. So surfaces could be cross contaminated. Are you sensitive to sulfites/sulfates? I know that those are in some wines. Being sick for 12 hrs just from drinking sounds like food poisoning or a stomach bug not alcohol unless you had alcohol poisoning in which case you should have gone to the ER immediately.

In this case I doubt it. New glass and small tasting room...

Took our glass to the next winery where it was washed...again, very quiet.

Third place, same thing...

These wineries are small and not like Napa/Sonoma. We took our own food, ate it outside on the patio on top of the cooler. Very low cc opportunity.

It was like someone injected alcohol in my brain. It wasn't food poisoning - hubby was fine. We ate the same thing. Drank the same thing.

I simply can not handle more than one drink anymore. Sulfates may be an issue....who knows. It will be a while until I test the theory.

Wow...thanks for the warning, I had no idea this could be an issue. Been off alcohol for awhile because of just generally trying to "purify" my system, but if/when I drink another glass of wine I'll be very careful & take it slooooow.

I havn'et had any wine since going gluten free the past 6 weeks... I am too afraid to feel bad the next day!!! Especially after reading this!! :) But, when going through a bunch of fertility treatments (when we'd get that negative pregnancy test), I found the organic wines (which I have only found 3 brands of them that are truely organic) AND if they are sulfite free... no hangover! :) At least when drank in moderation! Someday I might brave it again!!!

Wow...this is really interesting. I thought it was just me. I haven't gotten sick from drinking, but man do I get buzzed so easily now.

I noticed I get buzzed faster on things that are fermented; wine and sake. I think 2 glasses of wine will have me on the floor, and maybe 2 little shots of sake will do the same, no matter how much I've eating. My tolerance to liquor is also a lot lower, but hey... it's cheaper this way. :P

Getting buzzed on alcohol faster...I wonder if it's because when your digestive system heals, you digest everything into your system faster, including alcohol?

Ok I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you, but I'm so glad that it's not just me. Over the summer I was drinking white wine (which is normal for me in the summer). Now I haven't always had the greatest tolerance anyway, but I had 2.5 glasses and was REALLY sick. Never have I thrown up from drinking wine before. AND I ate a huge dinner. Now I have to be very careful when going out for drinks. Only time I have more than one is when I have a DD to take my sorry butt home. :-)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
