Hello,
I know drinking too much with coeliac disease is inevitably going to end with a bad stomach. But I still want to enjoy an occasional night out with 3-4 drinks.
What easy on the tummy drinks do other people choose?
Or is it the inflammitory effects of alcohol that make being ill the next day a guarantee even if I've hardly had any?
Many thanks
I am really interested to hear any replues to this. I had my first night out since diagnosis 2 weeks ago and it was disastrous. I was ill for around a week. I wrote a post if you can find it but basically went from sober to drunk in minutes and then vomitted constantly for days. I lost around 7lb in under a week.
Can't work out if I had gluten or just reacted badly as gut is more absorbant now it is repairing. I did have a few cocktails which wobt gapoen again and a few vodkas. Vwry reluctant to go out again as not sure what I can drink or how I will react?

I haven't noticed problems with drink so far but I've always been a careful drinker, despite what my mother or ex-fella may think!
Try not to mix your drinks
I tend to stick with a couple of glasses of wine but I find drinking some water in between drinks helps as well as eating something as well
A bag of seabrook crisps is ideal
I was nowhere near as ill as that Helen, that sounds horrendous, but I do find that I'm drunk a lot easier these days. 1 glass of wine seems to do it! But I do find that my tummy is in a lot of pain the next day even if I haven't over indulged too much. Last time I went out I only had 4 drinks and it was very sore that morning.

Ah lucky! I don't know if it's gluten or just that alcohol is hard on the tummy anyway. It's not always severe but it's always noticable even if I've been fairly restrained.
Ah I do tend to mix my drinks even if I only have a couple in total. Mojito is my favourite, or vodka and tonic, I sometimes have wine, but I stay clear of shots and fizzy mixers.
Mabye it's the empty stomach thing. Perhaps I should have a big glass of lactose free milk or something ha ha.
