14. Have they asked you to avoid all wheat (and/or grain) products?
(which would include beer and a whole lot of other foods, too)

That's often a major source of allergies/sensitivities, and can cause problems as mild as GI discomfort or as severe as what you're going through.

15. Maybe it's a gluten allergy....which I think is related to wheat and grains
sounds like it could be the hops you're having the issues with.

:hug: hang in there, hope you get answers soon.

18. That's what I was thinking
Since beer is made from wheat.

In which case you'd also be sensitive to alcohols from grains too, like whiskey.

Hope you find out soon.

17. Jesus hell!
My brother is celiac and drinks rice beer with no worries unless you count the endless amount of shite he gets from me. Oddly enough he can drink Guinness without too much trouble so I would try that.
