I developed alcohol intolerance when my CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune
Dysfunction Syndrome) worsened over several years.  I don't get an
immediate bad reaction as you do, but even one sip will guarantee me
a migraine (anywhere from 45 minutes to 30 hours later, but guaranteed).
 
I also get that "ill all over" and achy muscles reaction, but I get that
to many of my food sensitivities and also in the aftermath of a
migraine.
 
I know that many on this list found their "chronic fatigue" cleared up
when they went on a GF diet, but it is possible that you might have both
CFIDS and CD.  But I certainly hope not, for your sake!
 
Hang in there,
