Dry January & Celiac Disease: The Truth About Alcohol and Inflammation

Thinking about Dry January with celiac disease? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Celiac Diaries, I’m breaking down the real relationship between alcohol, inflammation, and celiac disease — without fear-mongering or shame. After posting a few videos about how alcohol can feel different in a celiac body, I wanted to take this conversation deeper and give you the full picture.

We talk about why alcohol can hit harder when you have celiac disease, even when drinks are technically gluten-free. From gut permeability and inflammation to nutrient depletion, sleep, anxiety, and energy levels, I explain what’s actually happening inside the body — and why so many people with celiac feel “off” after drinking.

I also share my personal experience with alcohol, why I’m doing Dry January this year, and how I use breaks from drinking as a data-gathering reset, not a punishment. Whether you’re fully participating in Dry January, starting late, or just curious about how alcohol affects your health, this episode is about making informed, empowered choices — not giving anything up forever.

Plus, we cover:

-Why “gluten-free” alcohol doesn’t always mean symptom-free
-How alcohol contributes to inflammation and slows gut healing in celiac disease
-The role of nutrient depletion (including calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins)
-Tips for staying celiac-safe and minimizing inflammation when drinking
-How Dry January can help you better understand your body’s signals
-If this episode helps you think differently about alcohol and your health, that’s a win.
