bah! so i went to a party friday night...drank a few glasses of wine and-----C all weekend, totally threw off my system! and more pain than i've had in a long time...but really, the migraine was the worst!i just hope i can get back on track soon...i suppose i could have opted not to drink, but due to my problems with anxiety (esp. social)...the wine was just too appealing...

see, i want to be out and social, but why do i have to pay for it so much afterwards!

I was also wondering if wine causes constipation or diarreah.Let me know if anyone figures it out.Take Care,Joyce

 

[sadone]

i thought it would cause D, but in my case, definitely C!

 

[sadone]

wow, i just did a search and found multiple sites saying wine was good for constipation and others saying just the opposite!

It helps to find the right alcohol for you.Beer and wine really aggravate me. Jim Beam is the one thing that agrees with me!Yeast doesnt appear to be well tolerated by the gut for a lot of people.in saying that, all alcohol is an irritant and will irritate the gut this way or that. what may induce D in some people can induce C in others, eg stress, worry etc.

Minimum,the wine is the worst thing to drink.Alcolol is not ibs friendly.

Vodka is like the only thing I can drink, that won't have much of an effect on me. But I usually drink beer inspite of the negative reaction I have to it. In fact I don't even drink all that much vodka anymore, I usually just drink beer, or Rum. Rum's easier on me then beer, but it still can cause some unpleasent side effects.But I haven't gotten really drunk in a while anyway. Taking a break. I mean I've been drinking socially, but not getting drunk.

The sweeter the wine, the more it will irritate the colon. I've found that Shiraz as a red or Pinot Grigio as a white have very little effect on me. Also, drink plenty of water if you are going to have some wine, the dilution is good for the tummy and water is always good for you anyway.

Hi guys, I can't drink wine & spirits because of the fructose. But I have heard that rum, vodka from potatoes, and very dry white wine may be OK. I'm too chicken to test that theory out!!! It's a real drag at parties--people think you're a stick in the mud, or worse, a recovering alcoholic.T-

Wine is the only think I can drink. Beer makes be bloated and rum and vodka and the like make me sick. My husband and I have a glass or so of red wine almost every night and I do not have any problems from it.

 

[sadone]

see that's the problem...without a couple of drinks--i am a stick in the mud! also, i can't tolerate drunk people unless i am somewhat drunk myself...i suppose i could just avoid these alcoholic situations, but i'd rather not, the socializing does wonders for me...and the alcohol, although it seems to hurt me afterwards, really helps me to forget my anxiety and ibs at the time i'm drinking it...regardless, the number of parties, etc. that i get invited to are minimal since i have no friends, so i guess i don't have to worry about this that often!

parties will be coming up in the summer, and i wanna have fun with my friends, but i have never been drunk before. how do you suggest i go about this, while being careful of my ibs?

 

[sadone]

crying shame...if you don't mind me asking--where in nova scotia are you? (if you do mind, no problem!)
