I know no one is the same with UC. But I think I figured out dessert white wine is bad for me.

I was starting to do much better almost no symptoms for the last past 2 weeks. I've been eating the same way and I slowly ad new foods. I not much if a drinker but since la Friday I've drinking my glass of white dessert wine. Saturday the symptoms started to get back B & a mixt of constipation and D, of course with the pain and the bloating.

That is pretty simple I will forget any kind of alcohol beverage for a while.

Interested to know about the one that are bother with white wine.

Yeah wine is bad for my UC too, I think a lot of people seem to have found that.

I had one hobby prior to UC - winemaking. I have a lot of equipment and about 300 bottles in the basement that I need to start thinking about giving away, because there's no way I'm going to be able to drink them.

Dessert wines have a much higher residual sugar content, and often are higher in alcohol than regular wine, which both can be bad for UC.

I'm fine with alcohol -- I can drink beer, wine, and tequila (the only hard liquor drink I really care for are margaritas). I didn't drink when I was flaring, though -- just didn't sound good.

Many UC'rs are low on the digestive enzyme DAO, which helps metabolize histamines. Wine and alcohols are high in histamines.

I gave up drinking years ago, except for perhaps a small glass of red wine or sangria a few times a year. It never seemed to bother my UC, but I just reasoned that with the risk of liver problems that accompanies UC, plus all the meds I have to take, my liver really didn't need alcohol to process also.

I doubt it's the wine considering you're a bit up and down and "feeling a bit better".

Are you on any meds?

Good chance it is sulfites,if you want to experiment try some organic sulfite free wine.
Bottle should say no detectable sufites. But not sure they make a desert wine that way.
Actually does not have to be organic you can find sulfite free non organic.

@ Quincy, yes Salofalk enema at night and suppositories in the morning. As of today I've ad back the cortisone enema in the morning rather than the Salofalk suppositories. I will do this for a few days. I will see my GI mid-September and look into getting oral meds. I believe I have an active prescription I'll call the Pharmacy... I might be up and down because the enemas and suppositories are just not quit enough.

I hope it is the wine... and that cutting it out will help.

@ Mike further down the road when I'll have wine again :) I'll look for sulfite free wine.

Funny, I've had more problems with red wine and beer than with white wine. I am a bit too scared to even try a cocktail or hard alcohol.

Just curious, how much did you all tend to drink before getting UC? I drank fairly often, and thought I would miss it, but I prefer it this way now.

I'm not sure but I had a whiskey session at Xmas 2013 and have just started to get my UC under control lately. I strongly think the alcohol played a major part.

I like others did enjoy a drink but have now decided no more for me have not drank for a long time now and think even when fully in remission won't drink again.

When I was drinking always had bad stools the following day if I drank red wine but was always ok with white

I'm good with vodka, but will only have it when I'm feeling well. Used to really love wine, and still have some pretty good bottles collecting dust, but wine no longer likes me. I've tried organic, no sulfites, (all red) etc. Beer is def out of the question.
B.UC (before UC) I probably had about 3 - 4 drinks a week. Now, not even that much per month if any at all.

I can tolerate vodka well and dry white wines. Actually when I drink them, my UC symptoms seems to disappear when drinking!

However, I can't tolerate red wine or dark liquors. But, I'm a fitness girl so vodka and dry white wines are so much healthier for you! Less sugar.
