I came to the sad realization a couple weeks ago that I may have a gluten intolerance. More particularly with barley. Here's some of the back story.
In college I could pound the booze. I was in a fraternity so it was a lot and it was often. Now that I'm a little older (26) I'm afraid to even go out to a bar because I fear the insane nausea that over takes me the next day. It's from a soon as I wake up till usually 10 or so that night. I can't even get water to stay down. I usually think I'll just drink beer no shots no liquor at all. It wouldn't help. And I'm not drinking a crazy amount either. Half of what it was in college.
So a couple weeks ago I did an experiment at a my buddies wedding. I drank nothing but wine and actually switched to booze at the bar later that night. Got hammered drunk had a lot of fun. Woke up the next at breakfast and didn't even have a headache. I was tired and could tell I drank but nothing near what it normally would be.
Now I've noticed something else too. I have an awesome Oaked amber ale that has been conditioned for a month and is ready to drink. I can't get through half a glass with out having a hellacious sinus attack and a headache. I mean like runny nose and lots of phlegm being hacked up. My voice even gets scratchy like I have a cold. could this be from the LME I used? All grain or commercial beer aren't nearly as bad. What's weird is bread or any other grain products don't bother me either.
Anyway, I'm not looking for dr. House here I just want to know if anyone has had the same experience or if they know what could be causing it. This really sucks but I'm thinking there maybe some hope for me to continue my hobby. Cheers!
