Has anyone drank alcohol while on the steroid enemas. Im 26 and being on the SCD and doing alll this medication does get draining and id like to be able to have a few glasses of DRY SCD legal wine a few times a week, if its going to make me worse of course i wont bother. But I havent yet tried alcohol while on these, any thoughts feedback like if i only have a few?
i figure everyones different so i could try it?

If my condition isn't terrible, i would have a drink while using steroid enemas. When I am flaring badly, i just don't feel like drinking at all.

yes you can. I went on vacation in May and did have a couple of glasses of wine and was using the steriod enemas and did not hurt me.

It's drinking when on oral Pred you more need to be careful about because oral Pred can cause gastritis and alcohol would be an extra irritant. If you can tolerate a bit of alcohol, I don't think combining it with pred enemas is contra-indicated. I can rarely tolerate alcohol, meds or no meds.
