Alcohol Senstivity/intolerance/issues?

Hi all,

I tried cooking this week with wine for the first time. Very yummy. But, I think it may be causing me issues. I am having some tummy symptoms and am wondering if it is related to this new cooking technique. I haven't had anything else new in my diet this week, so I doubt I was glutened - though I guess you can never rule out contamination. Does anyone have a sensitivity/intolerance/allergy to alcohol or sulfites? What are the typical symptoms for you? Atlhough I do drink a glass or two of wine on the weekends, it is usually at home and late in the evening, so I haven't noticed much in the way of issues there, though I may be falling asleep before they hit. Just hoping I am not experiencing another gluten set back.

Thanks for the help.

If the wine hasn't bothered you before, then you may have got glutened or you may be reacting to something else, like dairy. I developed a dairy intolerance at about the same time and some of my symptoms are similar to my gluten reaction symptoms. I would double check all the ingredients that you are cooking with, and make sure that you are using separate condiment jars.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am dairy, egg, and corn free as well. My husband (not gluten-free and thinks I am overly sensitive) sometimes helps with cooking or washing dishes. However, I don't think he is as aware as he needs to be and the source of contamination in any cooking likely resulted from him (ex. Me "Did you wash your hands before starting to cook?" Him - evil look. etc, etc, etc). Going to be a household full of thrills for years to come, I can see it now. <_< I guess I will have to spend the rest of my life in the kitchen cooking and cleaning and never getting any help. This disease is soooo freaking frustrating!!!!

My tummy feels better now and I know I was glutened last week by a hair product, so it could have been left overs from that.......so possibly a false alarm.

I can't handle red wine - severe allergic reaction, even if cooked in food. Sucks as my hubby makes WONDERFUL sauces (ex sous chef)

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
