I don't know about eczema, since it's not IgE mediated. I might explore wheat.

- January 15, 2013, 11:20:12 AMThanks for the reply. I believe its either an allergy to sulfites or yeast.
If I have non-organic wine, I literally go crazy. I get extremely angry (1 glass of course) and become ridiculously anxious. It is the worst feeling ever!
Any foods that contain vinegar cause me to break out in eczema or a similiar (but not as bad) emotional state, with dry eyes as well. This usually occurs with marinade soaked food.

- January 14, 2013, 09:56:05 AMYour reactions don't sound typical for an allergy (to yeast or anything else).
Even organic wines have naturally occurring sulfites - they just can't have added sulfites. So, maybe you can handle a certain amount of sulfites without reacting, but the malt vinegar has more than the wine? Or, perhaps you have some other type of intolerance?

- January 13, 2013, 06:11:44 PM Okay,
So I thought, for a couple years now, that I have a sulfite allergy. Whenever I ingest non-organic wine or vinegar (org. apple cider vinegar seems to be OK), I have major anxiety/depression and horrible eczema outbreaks almost immediately.
However, I was reading online that malt vinegar is actually low in sulphites and should not make people allergic to sulfites react. Could I actually have a yeast allergy instead? I am thinking this because drinking beer makes me feel really bloated and extremely lethargic (1 beer).
