Anyone here enjoy an adult beverage from time to time?

Some Lyme patients have a low tolerance for alcohol. I remember now that this was an early sx before diagnosis. There are only a few abx that exclude alcohol, (Flagyl and Tindamax come to mind). Alcohol may be used with most other abx prescribed for Lyme and co's. Moderation is advised. I continued to have a drink through most of my 10 years of treatment, but limited to low carb choices. Vodka is also gluten free.

i do on occasions, but i always regret it. alcohol raises my pain level throughout the body.
Not to mention sleep, as all lymies, i have bad sleep, but if i drink, it becomes almost no sleep, which further increases inflammation.

So i generally go sober for months. For example last time i remember drinking something was about 4 months ago.

A glass of wine sounds divine, but it might land me in the hospital! For those of us with histamine intolerance, fermented beverages aren't an option, sadly. I miss them!

I only take Argentyn 23 (silver) about once a week and no other things that kills except for that for the moment, so I think the liver isnt working as hard. Current treatment is quercetin, massage gun and earthing instead. I wouldn’t drink if I was taking a lot of abx. Going with white wine and 3.5 % gluten free beer tomorrow

Same for me, intheuk.. the hangover comes so quickly and while I'm still trying to enjoy myself!

I still have 1 or 2 every few months.

I have been overdoing it and it will take a longer time for me to get to the final 100 %. But it has been a motivation for me to be able to eat other things again, and something I often have visualized when doing DNRS. I couldn’t eat fodmaps for a long time and tonight I will have some potato chips with garlic and onion powder on with no problem.

Eating well overall, good sleep, workouts, etc and then some cheating on the weekends with both diet and sleep.
I see myself eating out post-COVID and even eating/drinking gluten a few times a year.

If you feel bad during/after drinking alcohol, listen to your body, and wait until you don’t feel as bad from it.
After a long and hard week, it's nice to drink some wine and watch the Mandalorian 😊

Was at a more trendy grocery store today, they had four micro brew Non-alcoholic "beers" like stout flavors vs your basic American lager or basic pilsner, which was all N/A "beers" used to be. They still had gluten in them though.

Hopefully they will have N/A G/F "fake beer" in the near future, ....never thought I'd say that,.... but I do love a tasty beer with meals or on a hot day.

I had zero alcohol for two years straight after lyme, and avoided it during "ABX liver abuse"... On occasion I will buy some gluten free or gluten removed beer, they have some really good ones now buy not cheap thats for sure.

Ive only had three six packs this whole year and zero other alcohol, just feel better without it , even after lyme. (I dont have the best liver pathway genes either, which prob makes a difference in how "toxic" alcohol is to someone).
