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 don't drink red wine because I like my beverages cold, champagne can give me a headache, but god champagne is worth it! :P

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:

WHAT? How do you know if it has casein in it?? News to me!

laurelfla Enthusiast

i get a headache only from red wines, usually when i drink it but sometimes not until the next day. my dad said he heard that serious wine tasters take antihistamines before going out. ;)

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?
    • trents
      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.
