Alcohol allergy diarrhea
Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol allergy diarrhea
alcohol
actually even half of a beer) the next day i get SEVERE stomach cramps and diarrhea. The last time I drank (half a beer) my nose started running and my eyes got sort of itchy. I believe it was bud light or bud select. I used to be able to drink without any problems until I quit drinking for 3 months. I'm 22 now. This has been going on since July.
I have eliminated pretty much everything except alcohol and hops. Any ideas?
THANK YOU!!!
This happened 26 years ago and after visits to ear specialists and sinus doctor we pinpointed it to an allergy to beer, my favorite alcoholic drink. Then I quit drinking alcohol completely. A month ago, the vertigo returned. When I get it, it comes on fast, causing me to vomit, An MRI on my brain shows no abnormalities, bleeding or lesions. An ear, nose and throat specialist saw no infection in my outer ear. He did prescribe a decongestant and antihistamine.
I just got back from dinner with my husband and other couples. Hubby and I had hazelnut gelato for dessert, and about 4 min later my body broke out in a sweat, face was super flushed, heart beating fast (hadnt had any alcohol) and many a trip to the bathroom with diarrhea. I don't drink coffee or have hazelnut on a regular basis, but I do take medicine for panic attacks (this was like all the physical symptoms of a PA but none of the mental ones).
I really think that quitting alcohol completely will clear up some of your issues, but have you had any allergy testing done? Different people have different allergy symptoms, and some of your symptoms sound like some I've heard of - especially since some only happen at night. Maybe you're allergic to dust mites -- pressing your head into a dust mite-filled pillow all night can cause sore throat, coughs, eye discharge, night sweats, sometimes fatigue.
I drank only one cider, I can handle my alcohol very well, I didn t get drunk from it. About 2 hours after drinking it, I was overheating so much I needed to lie on the floor and had a really bad headache. I also felt ill when standing up. The next morning I woke up with a very sore throat, painful to swallow and yawn. I was also sick that day, the spewing gave a bit of relief but later on my stomach was more painful again and the headaches were still there.
Several years ago I had the same problem but everything went aways once my gallbladder was removed. The episodes of vomiting and diarrhea last anywhere from hours to 2 days. I have recorded what I am eating to see if it is a food allergy but only thing i have found in the past week is butter makes me sick but not other dairy products. I went to a chiroprator that gave me a questionare about health sympotms and he recommeded me having my thyroid checked.
It definitely sounds like you could have some type of allergy to alcohol! I have a friend who has very similar symptoms after drinking but his normally starts within about 6 hours of having a couple of drinks. Alcohol allergies at some level is surprisingly more common than most people think.
My advice, talk to your Dr. about it just to make sure its nothing more serious ie: liver issues.
Good luck!
I started out nursing...the baby began spitting up/vomitting...lost weight..positive for occult blood...tried nutramigen...still occult blood. Saw peds GI..."allergy"...put on elecare...continued vomitting, crying all the time.
upper GI series: severe reflux
on elecare, prevacid, rice cereal in bottles...finally negative for occult blood.
vomitting, lost 5 ounces, crying all the time
help? what else could it be? should I go back to nursing?
Can drinking on a daily basis effect your stomach for example diarrhea and gurgling stomach?
I had an allergy to alcohol. It gave me asthma that once was so sudden and severe that I was blacking out. Luckily my dinner partner was a doctor. I was subsequently cured of the allergy.
The throat problem certainly sounds like allergy, except for the delay in your reaction. It should be immediate. It seems more likely that alcohol or some additive in the alcohol is toxic for you. If that is the case you should never drink anything alcoholic.
Cold remedies that contain alcohol
The decongestants pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, which can affect blood flow to the placenta
Pain relief, headache, and fever Acetaminophen (Anacin Aspirin-Free, Tylenol)
Allergy relief Chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine (Chlor-Trimeton allergy tablets)
Loratadine, an antihistamine (Alavert, Claritin, Tavist ND, Triaminic Allerchews)
Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine (Banophen, Benadryl, Diphenhist, Genahist)
Constipation, hemorrhoids, and diarrhea
Our reaction to alcohol is what makes us alcoholics, not how much we drink. The best way to describe it is an allergy to alcohol. When we drink all bets are off. We end up with consequences. Her relationship with you was based on the Tony before the bottle of Vodka. When you become that Tony again, things will change for the better. But the most important thinking in sobriety is to be sober for YOU and you alone. Learn to love yourself. All else will follow.
That is VERY possible
Please be careful if you think you have an allergy to alcohol.
A dear friend of mine started off with slight symptoms when he drank...they progressed over time...he began to get very violent when drinking ( after only one drink!)...one night he simply stopped breathing after only having one swallow of beer.
As with ANY allergy, you never know when the severity may change.
Hi, welcome to the forum, alcohol is known to cause flushing in some individuals. You are not allergic to alcohol. It causes direct vasodilation of the skin, related either to alcohol directly or its metabolite, acetaldehyde. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
I'm 20 years old and while I don't drink too frequently (4ish times a month), I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance for my small stature; I've only been hungover once (after a Four Loko...bad decision). However, I've noticed that I get a bizarre reaction when I drink Yuengling Lager Light - after having only one, I'll have to pee like crazy for about two hours, outputting about as much urine as if I'd had five drinks.
I asked for help on here a couple weeks ago for my alcohol intolerance/allergy. The first couple of times I ever drank I my forearms would swell up and break out in hives and itch very badly. I haven't gotten the hives in a while but my forearms still swell up and itch. Someone on here told me that I should take an antihistamine such a levocetrizine or cetrizine. I took 1 Zyrtec and I felt fine for a couple of hours but my arms eventually swelled up and started to itch again.
First, stop drinking so much. Second, eat a healthy diet. Third, go to a doctor and get tested for a gluten allergy.

In some individuals due to abnormal or deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will cause accumulation of acetaldehyde which is a potent trigger of flushing.
