Does drinking Red Wine or Champagne cause sneezing, flush, headache, diarrhea, skin itch, or shortness of breath?

Unless I drink too much red wine as with anything else I would get a headache.

Good point, I'll qualify the question asking if drinking a glass or two of wine/champagne.

Yes I do feel a bit flushed with drinking wine, red or white, and some spirits.

Some one says it is because it increases the blood pressure. But I have been like this since I began drinking, and there is nothing wrong with my blood pressure.

I think it is because alcohol seems to have a warming effect, by opening up the pores in your face that it makes you feel warm and flushed. I might be wrong, and yes it does not feel or look nice thinking I have a red face, it seems way worse when I am tired.

Forgot to add, that warm feeling would happen just after one glass of wine.

In the morning -- Yes,

During -- I sometimes get flush drinking wine, but I chalk that up to "the experience"

Almost all of my friends and family have headaches from red wine the next day...

I was told that drinking lower end wine/chamapgne can caus eheadaches as a reaction to the tannins in the grapes etc.

However, I do not have this problem.

I don't get a headache from red wine or champagne. I sometimes get one from white wine. However, I don't normally drink white wine, probably for that reason.

Some wines contain casein, the milk protein. I have reacted to red wine before because of casein.

Red wine affects me, but I was told it is the histamines in it. Sometimes wine and champers do it to me too. I've nerver had diarrhoea from it tho.

I have a solution that works for me - If I am going out and know I'll be drinking wines, I take an antihistamine - works brilliantly. Sadly, it does not help prevent hangovers if you overconsume :)

Champagne makes me dizzy, but I tend to overdo it when it's decent stuff. Decent reds don't give me a headache.

I agree - partake too much and the next day get the results. During the drinking though, after the first glass of a nice red (white is too often aged in Oak and I just don't prefer Oak flavor in my wine) I sometimes feel the flush feeling (almost like an instant effect), but I always thought that was due to cutting out all other alcohol (I miss ice cold beer, and 7&7's....). Sulfites are very prevalent in reds.....

As far as the lower end - I would recommend almost anything by Rosemount Estates.... I have never had symptoms while enjoying a glass of theirs....

Yes, and it makes me barf (and I'm talking maybe 1-2 glasses, so it's not like I get drunk). I can drink anything else with no problems, but wine just doesn't agree with me at all.

HEY GUYS LEST WE NOT FORGET GRAPES ALL GRAPES ARE DUSTED ,TO CONTROL MILDEW

WITH SULFER!!!!! Sulfer is a well known allergen. It makes no difference how much you wash grapes with soap or water or any type of produce wash the sulfer is still there in an amount that can cause an reaction.

I have been unable to use any wine in cooking because of an allergic reaction. This also goes fo any grape related fruit drink!!! Watch your kids! Reactions can be anything. dizziness shortness of breath, hives itchy skin diarrhea etc... I can only eat those grapes that I or my family members grow since we dont use sulfur. There is hope .... I have found good results using a soak/ water bath of 50/50 white vinegar and water to clean any store bought grapes. Keep soaking than rinse till the water bath comes clean..

I finally gave up "trying" to drink wine last month. At first I would get D the next day every time I drank a glass. Then that stopped and I thought it was just the brand. duh. I read that it's good for the heart so I would have a glass a 1-3 times a week for my blood. I have a history of DVT. It was like Russian roulette! Sometims it wouldn't bother me and sometimes I'd get a hurendous migraine that lasted 2 days, the next day after drinking it. I tried changing brands and it would be ok for awhile then, the migraines would start. I finally gave up and stopped drinking it. However, port, especially Sandman's didn't bother me. Why would that be? I believe it's imported from Spain.

:huh:

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
