How do you feel today? 3

[Catch-up]

Sharlene, I'm so sorry you may be facing another surgery. It doesn't seem fair at all. Great news about your knee! It's wonderful that you're bouncing back so quickly from that.

Feel better soon Joolz! That is the worst kind of sick.

And, are you feeling better already, Susanne?

Thanks for asking mC! It's kind of hard to tell. I've been staying on cold medicine. Either I'm getting better or that's just working really well. I'm still feeling pretty bad though and if it doesn't improve, I'm going to the doctor. I'm on my 3rd week of feeling bad. I have an important appointment that I have to go to today. I'll figure things out after that.

[Catch-up]

Christian, hope the exams went well!

[michelanCello]

Catch-up, you haven't been to the doctor yet? OK, next thing in the morning, you call your GP, because this can't go on this way! Three weeks! Poor you!

[ChristianBecker]

Christian, hope the exams went well!

Yeah, quite. Scored 27.5 out of 34. That's not bad; still I'd like to know what mistakes I made so I could work on them. Unfortunately only the people who failed it can have a look at them.
Well, anyway - passed, that's the important bit.

[michelanCello]

Congrats, Christian! I only get my exam results on the 5th

[Big Aggie]

Well done Christian

Phew, I'm totally exhausted today.

This is the 3rd time I've had rice pasta and had a headache after. I had it last night and woke up with a headache and still have it. I think i need to raise my gluten count?

And how much red wine with the pasta?

None; but some red wines do give me a headache. 'Course, I have it about twice/year.

[wicked woman]

[Tonyblack]

[Penfold]

Well done Christian!

[ShadowNinjaCat]

As above.

[Conforumist]

Nice goin' Cb; never doubted it!

[ChristianBecker]

Thanks all.

What is rice pasta? Noodles made from rice flower? If you get a headache from eating certain things, this might be a migraine. Especially since it seems to stay with you for a while.

As for (red) wines: Headaches are normally not caused by alcohol itself, but by sulphites. Especially sweet wines with not so much alcohol contain quite a lot of sulphites, because the fermentation is stopped using sulphur dioxide. Otherwise the yeast would convert all the sugar to alcohol until the wine has around 16% (depending on yeast, temperature and other factors), leaving either less sugar (this is why most sweet German wines are stopped when they have around 11 percent - since the climate here is a bit less sunny than in Italy, Spain etc. the grapes have less sugar to begin with, thus you need to stop fermentation earlier if you want to have a given amount of sugar left in the wine), or making the wine very strong.
Another headache factor is dehydration. Alcohol dehydrates the body, which can cause headache. So, when you drink, be sure to drink a lot of preferably water additionally to your wine.
