Red Wines Make Me Ill...
Hi,
Recently, I have become sick to my stomach every time I drink red wine. It isn't because I drink too much. I never have more than two glasses. I've never had this problem before, just the last several times I've had the red wine. This is so sad! I love to have the occasional glass of wine! So I would like some opinions. Have I developed an allergy? Is it tannins? Sulfides? Cheap wine (I usually don't buy it. It is usually bought by friends)? Anyone with similar experiences? Thanks |

"A few domestic wine producers have experimented with sulfite free wines, noted by the absence of the "Contains sulfites" statement on the wine label. If you purchase a sulfite free wine, remember that for the best flavor, a sulfite free wine should be consumed during the first year in the bottle and once the bottle is opened, it needs to be consumed within 24 hours." http://www.fennvalley.com/soap%20boxes/sulfites.html Organic, Sulfite-Free Wines: http://www.healthytrader.com/wines.htm |

I was under the impression that sulfite reactions were usually respiratory rather than gastric. My guess is that you're responding to the acidity of it. Look for other signs of an ulcer, just to be on the safe side. I also know a small number of people who are actiually allergiic to alcohol, so you might check to see if you're reacting to other forms of alcohol as well. Good luck, Gunther Anderson |
