Re:alcohol does not feed candida - now sulfites and reactions

[Guest guest]

Speaking of sulfites, this may interest some of you.

About 6 years ago, I began getting migraines while

drinking wine. Initially I thought it was the

sulfites, so I began drinking sulfite-free wine (not a

lot of quality back then in this category.) A very

wise sommelier suggested to me that it might not be a

true sulfite 'allergy', as different varietals have

different levels of sulfites, tannins, and other

things, aqnd he suggested I try different

varietials/quality levels.

Bottom line - I can drink virtually any Pinot Noir

with no reaction, and selected brands of other

varieties. Generally, better-quality wines cause no

reaction, and I also tend to do better with French and

Italian imports. Other imports seem more

problematic...

It is an onging, and interesting, experiment!
