I'm not that familiar with wine, but I've often read over the years that most wines are safe for us Celiacs, so I recently bought a bottle of Montinore 2005 pinot gris. I called the company just to make absolutely certain it was gluten-free and that no cross contamination issues were involved, and I got a rather confusing answer. The woman on the phone (who sounded half-asleep and totally ignorant of what gluten even was ) told me they didn't add any gluten to the wine, but when I pushed a little she said "well we add yeast but no gluten...only the winemaker would really know for sure and he's not here." She then put me on hold for a second and came back to say there was no gluten, but I still don't trust her knowledge on this one. I read that yeast CAN contain gluten, and since I know now that yeast is in there, I'm not sure what to do. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Some wines have a preservative in them that is not gluten-free.....We make our own wines so I'm sure I'm not getting any.........

Tell me what is the preservative that is not gluten free, so I know what to look out for. The one I am currently drinking has 220 which is sulphur dioxide. I can't see anywhere where that would have gluten.

Are these preservatives listed on wine labels? Up until now I had assumed all wines were gluten-free until I further researched and discovered otherwise.

Technically yeast does NOT contain gluten.... its an organism HOWEVER... it can be grown (cultured) using gluten containing products hence CC can occur.....

As far as wines go I try and stick to naturally infected ones where the yeast is NOT added to the wine but is naturally occuring in the soil, vines and walls of the winery.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
