Red wine and dodgy stomach

[ginandnappies]

Pleeeeeease someone help me!!

The last 4 times I've drank red wine I've had the worst dodgy stomach. I'm talking the full works.

I thought it was a coincidence until tonight when I had two glasses.

I've googled a bit but tend to stay away from it, and I guess I'll go to docs because I love red wine but wondering if anyone has had similar?

Boo boo me.

Did you used to drink it without any ill effects?

Alcohol can affect you differently as you age...(!) but seriously, don’t bother your GP for that!

No more red wine for you

Sounds like as you've become older you've become intolerant

What do you expect the GP to do, other than advise you not to drink red wine?

Very much so. But then I have IBS and lactose intolerance. I believe milk is sometimes used in the process of making wine. But alcohol is an irritant generally. Red wine is the worst for me of all booze. Sad because I love it!

I find it has this effect on me. I started to find all alcohol does, but particularly red wine - white or sparkling much less so. I felt it wasn't worth drinking for how it would make me feel afterwards. Perhaps try to find a different drink which you like and are ok with - you might just have to accept you can't tolerate red wine any more.

Apparently just like hair dye, you can suddenly become intolerant to wine too.

You have my sympathy

Try sulphate free wine. Sainsburys organic is nice

This happened to me. I used to be able to polish off bottles of the stuff. Now 2 glasses and I'm tipsy. Red Wine all night at dinner and I've got my head in the toilet all night. It is devastating!

Was it the same sort of wine each time OP?
