Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol allergy photo

alcohol

Avatar m tn Got it on 1st January after a night of heavy drinking (Carlsberg, Guinness, some mojito and few shots of JD) (is this alcohol flush?) and also eating seafood (squid, fish, softshell crabs) (is this allergy?). I also slept at a very cheap motel beside the sea (is this a bug bite? bed bugs?).
176741 tn?1295233989 Anyone have experience with photo-sensitivity? Basically a sun allergy that causes sun to react with chemicals in cosmetics, skin creams...even sunscreen? I am completely broken out in contact dermatitis. I was in the sun 7 days ago with sunscreen on. Anyplace I applied sunscreen and allowed sun to penetrate, I have a terribly bumpy rash. I've read that I should look for sunscreens using zinc oxide for future use. Have any of you dealt with this before? Rash is now on day 7...
Avatar f tn 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!
779797 tn?1263618235 s called intoxication, not allergy. None of your symptoms point to an alcohol allergy. I suggest you stay away from it. Why make matters worse? Have you seen a doctor for any of these symptoms? Something as simple as an inner ear problem can also cause dizziness. Allergies can pop up out of nowhere. Did you test positive for anything?
Avatar m tn Avoid wine and alcohol products if you know that they trigger an asthma/ allergy attack. There are already a number of wines without the preservatives that causes the allergy. But have yourself tested first with what you are allergic to.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am checking into Celiac disease, fructose malabsorption and now sulfite allergy-thanks guys. I also have trouble with water hurting my stomach. Sulfite allergy would explain that. I will post more after my GI appt.

He told me he took a white object out but I didn't see it and he gave me medication for cataract. Today my right eye is a little blurry, it's not painful anymore but I can still feel there's something in there, I can't take a photo of that thing again no matter how much I try.
Avatar m tn Hi, there is a list of threads here: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/search/139?utf8=%26%23x2713%3B&query=alcohol The opinions on alcohol effects are all over the place, from Hodgkin's to allergy to vasodilation to being a mystery. As far as bleeding, that could be lots of things, too - the way that a blood cancer would cause it is when the bad cancer cells infiltrate the marrow and crowd out the good cells that produce platelets. Do you also have shortness of breath or lots of colds?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn First, stop drinking so much. Second, eat a healthy diet. Third, go to a doctor and get tested for a gluten allergy.
Avatar m tn I have been suffering from allergy since many years. Will that be the cause? Also one of my eye is smaller than the other. I have uploaded the photo of my eyes. here's the link. http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/611cbf693b.jpg Please look and suggest me a remedy. Is there any problem with the position of my eyes??? Is there any surgery or something to correct it??
Avatar n tn If it comes and goes quickly that is more likely an allergy since its only one side one would think of a contact allergy (not contactlens) but something your skin comes in contact with. I suggest you see an Eye MD ophthalmologist that specializes in cornea/external disease. Find one at www.aao.org Take some pictures (the one you posted is out of focus) of the swelling and take them with you to the MD especially if it looks okay at the time of the appointment.
Avatar n tn You are not allergic 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. In some individuals due to abnormal or deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will cause accumulation of acetaldehyde which is a potent trigger of flushing.
Avatar n tn I used to be able to drink beer, wine, or liquor and never had any problems (even if I drank a lot). Then, in my mid-20's I developed either alcohol intolerance or an alcohol allergy. I didn't have restricted breathing but I did have a runny nose and a very noticeable increased heart rate. I'd get this after just one drink, and it didn't matter if it was beer, wine, or liquor.

Avatar n tn ve been prescribed Omeprazole for 2 months, my first question is am i able to drink one pint (maximum) alcohol per week? Also, because of the throat irritation i decided to have a look. When i push my tongue out as far as possible i can see what is circled in this photo: http://i36.tinypic.com/30jl3lk.
Avatar f tn Since about last year, after almost everything I eat, I feel nauseated. Then recently i had a drink of alcohol, and immediately my mouth (lips and tongue) were swollen, along with difficulty breathing. Since then I stopped drinking alcohol, and it didn't happen for awhile until I went to the dentist for a filling. Immediately after she injected me, my lips and tongue started swelling up, and I again had trouble breathing. I also couldn't swallow.
