sick

[winedope]

I get severe migraine headaches. My only food trigger is red wine. If I drink more than 2 glasses of it, be it Cabernet, Merlot or whatever, I will frequently get a migraine headache by morning. I have also traveled extensively, and as Foodie has said, there are many factors which will affect your health when traveling, including the water, dietary changes, and the traveling itself, to name a few. I, too, would suggest that anyone suffering from such symptoms as described for more than a short period of time seek the advice of a doctor. Try experimenting with different factors (safely) when traveling to try to aleviate such symptoms. For example, when traveling in Egypt, I only drank bottled water and soft drinks. I also ate vegetarian, cooked dishes. Consequently, I found that I was the only person in the group I traveled with (I was the only one to do this) who did not get sick during the trip. WD
PS- These headaches are migraines, not the result of overindulgence. There is a big difference between the two.
