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. :-)

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
