Red wine allergy?
Hello,
When I drink red wine and certain beers, I get red and splotchy on my face, neck and chest. It itches quite fiercely where it turns red. I may have one sip and it can have an immediate effect. Or sometimes I may have half a glass until the effect occurs. This has only begun after giving birth to my son. I used to drink the beverages without any reaction. I'm thinking that this is a sudden onset of an allergy. Maybe sulfite? Any suggestions on what it could be? Is there any medication or supplement that I could take prior that may reduce the reaction?
I've also developed a reaction to egg yolk since giving birth. Egg white is okay, but I get significant stomach cramping with egg yolk. I'm not sure if the egg and alcohol reactions are related.
Thank you in advance.
