I got a question. It is my understanding (and correct me if I am wrong) that all wine is gluten-free. But I thought champagne was not all gluten-free. Isn't champagne a version of wine. Should I be more careful?

I was under the impression that wine and champagne are not things I need to worry about. Anyone know of a specific brand of wine or champagne that contain gluten?

I have read that any wine made in the US is safe. I'm sure people with more knowledge on the subject will weigh in soon.

Ecclesiasticus 31:36. Wine drunken with moderation is the joy of the soul and the heart.

Champagne undergoes a second fermementation at times (which gives it more alcohol). Some cheaper kinds add alcohol to it as they do mot use the second fermentation...

Before going on the gluten-free diet, I was a beer drinker - I loved beer!! So once I started the gluten-free diet, I switched to wine, and didn't have any issues at first. But after a couple of months, I started getting intense itching (very similar to the itching I was having during one of my DH outbreaks). I finally figured out that it may be the wine and quit drinking it. Guess what ... no more intense itching! I have read on this board that sulfites in the wine may be my issue, and I have also read that you should not drink ANY alcohol for the first 6 months of the gluten-free diet (not sure why). Any one have any comments on this?

Thanks,

I have worked for a winery for years, and our winemaker has assured me that all of the wine that he has come in contact with is gluten-free. Champagne is normally produced in the U.S. by adding carbonation to produce the bubbles. There is not any additive that I know of that would contain gluten. Yeast is used to help ferment wine, but it is filtered out to such an unmeasurable amount that it should not hurt those with a yeast intolerance, which I do have. Eggs and dairy products are also used as a filtering agent, but I have never had a problem with this either.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
