I also had Steven Johnson Syndrome when i wa sone in which i almos tdied from. I am also allergic to sulfites, sulpha, sulfur and alcohol. Makes me wonder if this is due to Steven Johnson Syndrome.

This all started about 2 years ago, and I’ve had allergies my entire life. I see a couple others on this thread experience the weird muscle spasms and cramps … has anyone tracked it down with a Doctor? I don’t know where to start … my primary doesn’t seem interested even though I complained about the leg cramps for an entire year. They typically get me up several times a night and I have to walk and massage to break them. It’s happened during the day too, but not nearly as often. I figure because if I do drink wine, it’s in the evening. But I eat balsamic at lunch and the cramps don’t typically start until I’m sleeping. It’s just bizarre.

Well, it could be one possible cause. Try cutting out the wine and see if you clear up, it is the only way to find out.

I have also been having hives that look like whip marks on my back and arms. On my legs they just look like itchy bumps and it seems to be from a lot of things but one of them is def red wine. I will be seeing an allergist for a skin prick test soon. I have always had environmental allergies to mould and dandelions that were quite bad but have only had this skin issue for abou eight months. It’s enough to drive a person crazy.

I’ve had it for several months now. I have 2 glasses of Lindeman’s chardonnay every night. Could this be the cause? I went on Prednisone for 7 days and it completely cleared up but it came back as soon as I stopped.

All the symptoms you list here, I have had for years and never knew what was happening. I am highly allergic to alcohol, can’t take vitamin B, problems eating anything with niacin in it, am finding out one of my medicines has sulfite in it. I am a bit overwhelmed. I am a diabetic, and I printed the lists of foods you can’t eat, but now I am concerned about what I can eat, since I do need to eat a certain amount of carbs each day. Any suggestions?

Obviously, this comment is old (so I hope you’ve figured it out by now), but for the sake of future readers:

[This information is so useful that it has been turned into it’s very own article. See Avoiding Sulfites. Thanks Jadxia!

Prior to that no allergies. Spoke to 4 allergy specialities and they said I had I tolerance to something that didn’t show itself till after a buildup in my body. I eventually tracked it down to sulfites(I think). Seemed like I would have these reactions if I drank too much wine or drank it frequently ( 2-3 days in a row). I find organic wines are easier on me (why?). The allergists told me in 40% of the time you never figure out what is problem. Still not sure if it is sulfites.

There is a connection between sulfa and sulfites. Sulfa drugs can cause sulfite oxidasis enzeyme in your body to decrease. This enzeyme when low causes your body to store sulfites you intake by food, medicine, and or soaps. These store in you muscles and turn into sulfer dioxide. Causing extreme pain and tenderness to joints and muscles. Do some research and you will find it true. University of Kentucky was doing studies on. The effects can be reduced by not eating anything with sulfites, or medication (look at inactive ingredients also), and changing soaps, shampoos ect. It will never go away, but you may be able to build the enzeymes up from a low level. It is a metoblic issue not really an allergy
