<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi to all, I have a relative who has celiac who is destroying his life due to alcohol, not because he is a heavy drinker but because of the way alcohol affects him. I have not really heard any discussion to asume that alcohol affects celiacs in a different way but I know it does. Maybe in a person with celiac it enters directly into the bloodstream, I am not a doctor but I feel quite certain of my statement. Could anyone who is knowledgeable about this subject please elaborate and explain how alcohol may affect someone with celiac. Janet
