I Get Sick From Drinking Beer

[Catman62]

First off, if I never have another drop of beer again it's not that big of a deal. However, I do enjoy a nice cold one very now and again, I'm 52 and have been drinking beer socially for as long as I can remember with no health problems. About a year ago I started to get terribly ill every time I went out to dinner. After much trial and error I narrowed down the culprit to the beer. I can drink wine, Scotch or tequila with no problems but if I have just one beer it makes me throw up for hours, sweats, shakes and bad headache.

I did have a friend tell me she has this problem too and that she narrowed it down to domestic (USA) beers and said she can drink imports and not experience this problem. I haven't mustered the courage to try an import and risk a date with the porcelain goddess. Has anyone else had this issue? Are there ingredients used in the USA not used in other countries that could be causing this problem?

Hi there,

for me it sounds like you having a histamine intolerance. To make sure whats going on you should go and see your allergist. Why histamine intolerance, because everything which ripens like beer or cheese and other stuff starts to create histamine. So every single time if you eat sth histamine rich your histamine level in your body starts to rise and your body reacts with an allergic reaction. Well, you feel sick and you start to throw up. The symptoms are different, someone has an itchy skin or stuff like that.

I'm histamine intolerance and I bought a dietary supplement called Daosin. It makes it possible for me to eat everything, without any side effects.

So check up with your allergist and you'll see it!

Sounds like you could have celiacs diseases, cheap beer non-distilled usually contains alot of gluten, its possible the contimnation can cause the reaction.
