My child ruined me.

[gretchenindisguise]

Since A red wine gives me a nearly instant headache. White wine and cider have been fine.

Please tell me this will go away.

Same thing happened to me after I had my kids. It's been 8 and 5 years since I've had my kids and the red wine headache has only gotten worse over time. An allergy pill before drinking red wine solves the problem.

I developed all kinds of non-food allergies right after my oldest was born. I've never been quite sure but I always suspected it was related to pregnancy.

My tolerance is next to none, and I considered myself a heavy drinker before getting pregnant. Maybe that also has to do with the fact that I have to get up super early too.

My body is ruined so the gods took pity on me and I am unaffected by wine. Too bad I want to drink all of the beer, not wine.

Hmmm I will try this. A friend gave me a bottle of Syrah and I'd hate to not be able to drink it.

I haven't had wine yet. I will cry real tears if red wine is ruined!

I've always gotten headaches from red wine. It's very common. Dark liquor a like whiskey can do the same thing to people.

[isabel]

It's possible it's a sulfite issue. You could look for sulfite-free reds at your local store or wine shop. White wine has sulfites too, but generally less than red.

Try a tannin free red wine.

I've been mostly having beer since I can use the milk supply help. But today I have to be at work for a while, and then we're hosting a meal for 6 because my ILs invited themselves over. So methinks today will be the day I crack into my wine stash.

[DotAndBuzz]

Nooooo!!!

I hope this is a passing thing!

This is why I've been drinking ciders

I can drink some wine for you if you would like. I mean we are friends and friends do that for each other.

Uh oh. After I had N I developed a legit allergy to red wine - one sip and I'm puking an hour later. It's the SUCK. But I am fine with white wine, beer, tequila.

[daisybuchannan]

After C Pinot grigio tasted so off. It used to be my white of choice.

[kellykapowski]

I'm going to be the jerk and say that wine has gotten tastier since having my kids. :/ Maybe it's just that they are driving me to drink and thus I have acquired more of a taste? Lol

I will say though that the headache thing did happen to me and it has since subsided. So there is hope, I guess?

[gretchenindisguise]

Stupid kids. They ruin everything.

Lol I did that for a while until I realized it's yeast and hops in beer that are supposed to help -- and cider has neither! Haha

For me hard cider helped more than any beer. Apple juice stimulates milk production so it's like concentrated apple juice with bonus alcohol.

I found that age was the culprit in the red wine hangover.
