subject: Can you develop an allergy to alcohol following a pregnancy? [print this page] Can you develop an allergy to alcohol following a pregnancy?
Pregnancy can create many changes in your body after the baby is born. For example, during my pregnancy I suddenly got heartburn chronically and never had that problem before. You definitely CAN develop an allergy to alcohol after pregnancy.
The thing that makes this difficult to diagnose is the symptoms of an allergy to alcohol do not necessarily manifest EVERY time you drink alcohol. You might experience the allergic reactions once, be able to drink a dozen or more times without a reaction and then it hits you again.
Here are some tell tale signs that you have an alcohol allergy. Even if these symptoms occur infrequently and irregularly. The main thing to keep in mind is if you experience these symptoms after having a couple of drinks or the onset of a buzz.
The most common symptoms of the alcohol allergy are:
Red face
Red patches on other areas of your body like the legs, arms, chest
Itching of the skin
Intense congestion and/or pressure in the head
racing or palpitating hear
dizziness
nausea
headache
The first time I experienced alcohol allergy symptoms I thought I was having a stroke. The two main issues for most people who have this allergic reaction to alcohol are:
The embarrassment of a bright red face while trying to socialize in public
The intense discomfort these symptoms cause which can be bothersome enough that it ruins your enjoyment of drinking.
The biggest risk or issue long term is the increased risk of stomach and esophageal cancer.
You can either stop drinking or do what 100,000 people have done successfully, visit "The Allergy to Alcohol Cure" website.
