Does Wine Exacerbate Anyone Else's Symptoms?

I had two glasses of wine last night and ALL day today I have been itchy. It was a Mondavi wine. I'm wondering if this could have caused a flare-up? I've only been gluten-free for about 2 weeks.

I haven't been diagnosed for sure yet, but I do suffer from hives. They get worse when I drink any kind of alcohol. As taken from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology website, "Scratching, alcohol beverages, exercise, and emotional stress may worsen the itching." Open Original Shared Link

I suffer from chronic hives possibly related to gluten intolerance (not quite sure yet). They definitely get worse with alcohol...any kind.

It may be celiac related, or it may be something entirely different. To me itchiness/hives sounds more like an allergic reaction. Wines contain a sulfite, which you can be allergic or sensitive to. I'm not sure about all the fine details, but from what I understand people react in different ways to it. For me, if I drink more than a glass or two of wine I end up vomiting for the next two days. I've heard it can cause hives and other "acute" allergic reactions, such as asthma. I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it might be worth looking into. Hope you're feeling better soon :)

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
