You Are Not Alone. I'm not coeliac, but (as you know) I am impressively intolerant to caffeine - I can't drink decaf coffee at all, it sets my IBS off, and half a cup of tea is usually approaching too much as well. I'm also pretty much off alcohol for my innards' sake at the moment too. I haven't worked out all the things that trigger my IBS yet, it seems to come in phases related to stress as much as to be certain foods though if I'm already in one of the sensitive phases then over-rare or slightly elderly meat is a dead cert. I also can't eat anything too rich and fatty without nasty consequences, three days of hotel/restaurant food makes me feel like death warmed up, and I suspect I'm allergic to seafood in a mild to moderate way too.
Apparently though, booze interfering with your sleep is universal, not just you and me; it relaxes you so you *fall* asleep, then dehydrates you and converts into sugar in your body so you wake up thirsty and on a sugar high. Go figure; unless you're drunk enough to stay passed out all night, you're stuffed. I've always found I wake up again after a few hours if I've been drinking.
