As if things arnt bad enough I’ve now developed a intolerance to wine! As soon as I drink it my face goes bright red, I can now no longer eat sugar, dairy, and bread, things are going from bad to worse! Has anyone else experienced this in perimenopause? x

Haha, yep!
I used to be able to handle my drink pretty well, but now I can't get past one glass if I'm lucky!

Yeah not funny at all!!! Wine food it all goes out the window with menopause, allergies food sensitivities to a whole lot of different things, body doesn't handle it anymore, I so hope that all goes back to normal once we get through this mess... 😢

Me too Mary.. I get the same reactions dizzy off balance, been this way for 2 years now, everything bothers me. My diet is very restricted too, I cut out gluten at first but soon realized its not just gluten its many many more foods.. Like you said anything with preservatives any gluten , wines beers so much its rediculous, ive lost over 35lbs and don't want to lose anymore. I've just started to try different foods and if I react I react what else can I do, little by little, but its so tough when you get gassy can't breathe, get dizzy, get a migraine all from something you eat. That you've always been able to tolerate, ugggh awful times right now, hope this lifts soon so I can enjoy food again..

Hi Caroline - oh this is so interesting that you posted this...I am post menopause, but about 3 years ago I remember eating a piece of pie & my face instantly became flushed then every time I drank red wine (which I love) same thing, then anything sugary same reaction only it would also be accompanied with pulsating head and rapid heartbeats & of course the indigestion issues. I was diagnosed with Rosacea, but now looking back, I don’t think it was your typical Rosasea. Oddly enough, there is a menopause/rosasea connection. I think all of it is caused by menopause - I switched to white wine, same reaction. I am now convinced it’s sugar & carbohydrates that somehow our bodies cannot process well anymore - Eating lean protein & veggies seems to be the safest diet plan, but so incredibly boring day in & day out - I guess menopause defined is to suffer - Ugh!

Hi Pinkcatfairy - well that’s encouraging about the wine - I live near the wine country & wine is so festive & fun - it’s hard not to enjoy it -

I can no longer eat anything remotely spicy. Also no legumes(beans). I love baked beans and Lima beans, white beans etc. I can't even eat hummus any more because it's made with chickpeas which is technically a bean. I can eat dairy except for ice cream(crazy right?) All these things give me awful gas now!
Some fried foods have also become an issue. I just get nauseous. Hang in there you're not alone.

Hello Ladies
I'm saddened, stunned and so happy to meet you all. About 5 years ago I noticed my food allergies getting worse to the point where I have more no go foods than good foods. I also noticed what I thought was hay fever starting up, and it's progressively got worse. I can sympathise with the lack of tolerance to wine and the chronic indigestion. I honestly thought I was losing the plot but now I think I must be entering the menopause. Now I just need to figure what next! Has anyone found an escape route yet?
