Out of curiosity, will I be able to drink alcohol in the future while I am on Lialda? I know some meds say don't drink while on this medication and I was wondering if Lialda is one of them.

You should have no issue with the medication mixing with the alcohol. However, your Uc may not like it much! :)

Great Sherry thanks. I don't drink because I'm not 21 yet and am not a partier, so I haven't experienced any negative effects from my UC. Why does Alcohol upset our UC? Does it happen to everyone? Are there certain types of alcohol that are worse than others for those of us with UC? Just curious.

Everyone is different when it comes to tolerating alcohol. Many can't drink wine or certain beers. The wine has sulfates in then that can aggravate an already angry colon. I'm not a partier either and I don't drink much but when I do, I tend to stick to the vodkas because that doesn't seem to bother my Uc. I usually mix my vodka with a pineapple juice/low acidic orange juice combination. When I am in remission, I can usually handle more drinks - though I try not to because of me being on 6mp but while flaring, forget it! I can't drink at all or it goes right thru me the next day and then I feel like crap for about 3 days or so. To me that is not worth it! lol

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't lean toward wine and definitely not beer. The drinks that look appealing to me are the fruity cocktails-Pina Coladas, Daquiris, and flavored vodka drinks. I'll experiment in 7 months with them and see what works for me. Thanks again for your help!
