Alcohol and IBS.

[BabblingBrooks]

How many of you have stopped drinking alcohol because of your IBS and if so did you find it beneficial?

I’ve long suspected that it may be one of my triggers ( among many ) especially when it comes to flare ups so I’m thinking of eliminating it for a month or so to see if it helps.

I drink every so often but I don't think it makes a difference if I do or not, but maybe I don't drink often enouvh to be able to see if there is I difference. You have nothing to lose by trying it and seeing if it works for you.

Good luck with it, let us k ow how it goes please.

Hi there, I do ont drink much anymore. I'm a white wine drinker. I did stop completely for 6 months a few years back I find alcohol inflames my whole body, tummy included.

So it definitely makes my tum tum worse.

Do you notice any difference after you drink?

Maybe stop for a good month to see how you feel.. it certainly can't hurt
