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.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
