Last night I was over at my aunties and uncles, along with a lot of other people, so I was drinking my gluten-free beer of course.

One of the guys, who already had more than enough to drink, asked me the weirdest question ever, but in the same way, a good question :lol:

He asked me...if you get drunk on gluten-free beer, would you have the same type of hangover as you'd get from drinking normal beer?? :blink::lol:

..not that I'll try it to find that answer haha

Hangovers are caused by dehydration, vitamin depletion (the body trys to rid itself of the alcohol and takes alot more with it) and are influenced by the sugar content of the alcohol, as the body tries to deal with that as well.

The gluten-free beers I've seen seem to have more sugar (in the form of mollases or honey) content than regular beers, and so might give you a worse hangover!

Drink lots of water to help your body flush the alcohol and take a multi-vitamin and your hangovers (if you ever get there) will never be as bad as thiers.

At college, we always had a water monitor when people were drinking. (I usually played water girl, and pushed water on people as they were drinking, and after they were done drinking. Lots of water, throughout the night.) Almost no one ever had a hangover, and when they did, it's because they weren't drinking water. Even if someone had drunk too much, and was huggin' the toilet, I'd still be bringing them water. (Alternating with Gatorade or a vitamin-water would be better, but we didn't think of that seven years ago.)

A hangover for you or for him? I mean, for him it would be the same, but add being glutened to being hungover ... :blink::)

The strange thing is, back in college in my pre-gluten-free days, I knew beer made me sicker than other alcohol. Makes sense now. I drank rum or tequila back then. Strange that I went for the stuff I can have.

Pre-gluten-free I drank lots of beer and I would get 48 hour hangovers. I had no idea it was the gluten. Now I drink gluten-free beer and no hangover, just an empty wallet. LOL

This is about how I would feel, and it wouldn't take much beer either!!! I learned that I could tolerate rum and tequila. If I could have just learned that pizza was making me ill, that would have helped even more!

Me neither, I would get a horrible hangover from two beers. If only I knew a decade ago (or more) what I know now. I loved the taste of beer and bread, now that I think about it.

Ryan, you can order it at your local liquor board store. Mine here in Canora have been doing it ever since it existed lol. And I'm the only one here who drinks it! La Messagere is the name of it. Takes a few beers to get used to, but now I can down them like any other drink lol

If you have anymore questions about it, just ask!

When I was working in certain dry countires we used to make beer from a german baby suppliment which was basically malted corn and every time I went back to the UK and drank beer I got the worst hangovers after 1-2 pints...

I used to wonder why I would get a hangover even if I drank non-alcoholic beer, and one grain vodka drink would send me to never never land. Since diagnosis I drink wine and potato vodka and have never had a trace of a hangover.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
