Drinking and Celiac

Hi,

This May sound like a dumb question, but I was diagnosed with Celiac through blood tests last week, I am 21. I have a Tissue Transglutaminase IGA of 19 when it should be less than 4 but have been on completely a Gluten free first for almost 3 weeks. 

 

Let me start off by by saying I am not a big drinker. And in my healing period wouldn’t even have such a question except for the fact I graduate college next month and my boyfriend had planned to have friends come up to celebrate. I wanted to ask if anyone has consumed alcohol during their recovery period (of course gluten free alchohol only) and if one drink causes/could cause catesphropic decline in my recovery. I read that alchohol only flattens villi when consumed chronically and I am aware alcohol is not good for you. I just want to see if I can have one gluten free drink in celebration given I’m pretty sure the stress of college is what triggered my Celiac. 

 

Thank you for any advice and I apologize if this is a dumb question.

Have a glass or two of wine or hard cider or a rum and coke!  Enjoy!  There is no reason to think it will hurt your "recovery".

Rums like James Harbor, Admiral Nelson (I use this in cooking), and Bacardi should be safe. Tequila is generally made from agave and gluten free, some vodkas are good like Titos made from corn (actually called gluten free), and Ciroc made from grapes.

Wines are safe normally, I keep and use barefoot for catering and cooking.

Hard ciders like Austin Ciders (local here in texas but I keep it around for guest and cooking) are safe also, and a few others. DO NOT drink "gluten removed" or any beers made from wheat, barley, or rye even if marked gluten free. There is no way to test these effectively to be gluten free due to the nature of the fermenting and processing but they have made many of us sick.

Thank you. I meant My recovery in the sense that I need to heal whatever potential mild damage the gluten has caused.

That's what I meant, too

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      There is dextrose in table salt?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄
