Doesn't mean you couldn't be reacting to something else it it, tho. Maybe a better grade of wine would help? ;-) Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I am thinking so. It didn't last long enough to be gluten. Must have been wine-sick... man, that's the worst kind. Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Real wine is GF. But you have to becareful of the cheap wine " products " , like Boone's Farm. These are sold in wine bottles, but on the label it will say MALT beverage. Alot of college girls buy that stuff, tastes more like juice than wine, yuck! But as long as it was real wine (cheap or not), it was probably the alcohol that caused the problem! > > I think I got something nasty last night.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've had gluten like reactions to some red wines. I thought it was the sulfides. Maybe that I was more sensative to them now that I"m gf? I just did a process of elimination. One of my favorite reds I just can't drink without regretting it. kathidoremusv wrote: Real wine is GF.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 You know, I wonder. Don't celiacs sometimes have more trouble with sugar than the run of the mill citizen? Doesn't alcohol turn to sugar in the bloodstream? Diabetics have to limit alcohol intake, don't they? Aren't many of us at least somewhat glucose intolerant? I can't tolerate any alcohol at all, not even mouthwash. Don't know if it has to do with gluten or asthma, or maybe asthma is also related to gluten intolerance, since allergies are immune system related.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I haven't previously heard any evidence that celiacs can't tolerate sugar- i think that many of the GF products are starchy white processed things and so constantly relying on these things may adversely affect our blood sugar and long term health (diabetes etc.), but I think that's a different thing than a glucose intolerance. Isn't it? Actually I'm not that crazy about really procesed sugary things, myself- but it may have been because I was on a really bland but healthy diet as a kid. lol. Never developed a taste for sodas and candy bars... Chocolate is another matter however. I think anyone, celiac or not, can have a bad reaction to wine, especially the cheap stuff. It's quite tough on your stomach, actually, just because of the acidity- my DH is not celiac and has this trouble. (BTW, I promise I'm not a wine snob, we drink the cheap stuff all the time--- doh,now I sound like a wino! Lol, actually we mainly use it in cooking things like risotto.) > > You know, I wonder.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Alcohol lowers blood sugar so those of us with diabetes need to make sure we eat with out cocktails ! If you choose a drink like Pina colada there will be a lot of added sugar in the drink from the juice and mixers.Those carbs will increase our sugars.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 " Alcohol lowers blood sugar? " That's the opposite of what I've been taught - which is that the carbs in most alcohols can effectively and rapidly raise blood sugar. My 2 diabetic brothers both must monitor their blood sugars quite closely if they drink alcohol, as they tend to get rapid spikes from booze that require them to use extra insulin.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Aaahh, - it's the simple things in life that make it so great huh? All I can say now is that I can't imagine why I would ever drink that stuff to begin with. Thank goodness we have moved on. > > LOL! Our favorite was Boone's Farm!!
