Wine?

So, I had a small glass of cranberry wine last night when I got home since it was Thanksgiving. The next day my poop looked so much better! So I was wanting to maybe try again for a little bit and see if it keeps up. Maybe every other day, or even every day but I doubt that. I imagine it'd be pretty safe, right? I think my low rectal inflammation has gone down a bit, and I don't think a small glass every other day is enough to kill my liver, even with the Imuran. Thoughts? I'd stop when my poo started being awesome again lol

I have often considered this. One thing to note, is that a glass of wine a day is supposed to boost your immune system, which as I understand it would be a bad thing for us...With that said, I think that the antioxidants, etc. in (especially red) grapes could be beneficial.

interestingly, however...you have Raynaud's which might mess with that.

You mean you only ate potatoes the night before?

You are on fish oil, vitamin E and Turmeric...lots to increase blood circulation. Add wine, it might be either nothing or something.

You'll eventually find your limit.

Personally, I love the taste of wine, I can only have a sip or two before I feel sick and my hands get red...

maybe it's the vasodilators that help then?.....I don't have raynaud's (although years ago was suspect)...the increase of circulation makes my hands red. opposite reaction since they don't constrict firstly. I get the same reaction from some spices.

Actually I think the Raynaud's may be from my colitis, it's only in my feet and the rheumatologist said that can happen with IBD. And, I stopped the vitamin E and fish oil, they didn't do anything and I'm bad about taking them. When I see blood and what not, I start the turmeric, but for my current state, again, doesn't do much. I don't know why that is.

And as for the potatoes, I meant I eat them more than once a week, turkey isn't rare, neither is cranberry sauce or pie lol

Thanks guys!
