Alcohol and Asacol

 

 I had half a glass of red wine last week and my lips swelled up! looked like I had botox.

  yet I had a beer last night and nothing.

 Could this be because of sulphates in the red wine?

could be....red wine is also high in histamines, although beer has them as well.


What red wine did you drink? Not all are created equally, some might agree with you better.

Clearly, that one doesn't agree with you...I don't think it's the asacol combo, I think it's the fact that your body is just used to "reacting".
But, in saying that....did you eat anything as well with the wine?

Ok ill read through the link next thanks!

I ate with the wine and Ive had this wine previous to being on the asacol, Im a really light drinker generally.
Ive never reacted to anything before this.
I think it was wine from chile and they tend to have a lot of sulphates in them.

Ill read this link and see if I can add anything.

You're welcome for the link!

I think that once the body has started to be in a wonky state it reacts to lots of stuff it never did before.

There's metabisulfites in almost every wine....I believe it's stated on most bottle labels.
