Well, it’s more or less in the title. I’ve been on HRT for about 10 months now and I have significantly decreased my alcohol intake since then, didn’t drink at all in the first two months. I now have a drink about every two weeks and of course, my tolerance is way down. But I’ve noticed that while I’m fine drinking wine (and drunk after two glasses, which is fine), beer is absolutely not an option anymore. I just get sick in the stomach after having even just one beer. I’ve tried lager and Guinness and they’ve both produced the same effect. It’s not really a problem for me, though I would enjoy a pint here and there.
Anyone else here who had the same happen to them? Is there any biological/hormonal/chemical reason for it maybe?
Yes! Omg I’m glad it’s not just me, it’s so annoying that I can’t really drink any of the beers I used to love.
Not beer, but I can’t eat fried food or burgers (really anything very fatty) without feeling like I’m going to throw up.
I know people who get an upset stomach from hops. Beer also has gluten and that is a common allergen for some people. Might talk to your doctor about it and see if they can test you for allergies?
I know some autoimmune diseases are more common in women and it’s possible estrogen plays a role in activating those. But really, just talk to your doctor.
Three years in and nope.
