Alcohol and uc

So I have come to the reality that alcohol is a bad idea when u have UC. I have a few glasses of wine and it turns into big trouble so I just ended up saying good bye to booze. Does anyone have any recommendations on what types of alcohol are better then others when you do decide to drink?

I was doing great until mid summer I thought drinking would be relaxing. I also thought Patron straight might get absorbed in the gut and not wind up in the large intestine. The relaxation thing backfires because your body stops making 'chill' brain chemicals in the presence of booze. Soon the booze is needed just to get back to level. So I cut the booze out but the immune system was furious and I was flaring hard but snapped out if it without doctors or prednisone thank goodness. Resulting protocol I am using now seems to be the best yet so at least I gained something from the poor decision I made.

aguywithuc..That is a shame!..some people simply cannot handle any booze at all...at least you managed to pull yourself out of it.

Many UC'rs are low on the digestive enzyme DAO, which helps metabolize excess dietary histamines. This means you can actually overdose on histamines, causing UC symptoms to be much worse. This is what happens in a lot of people. Almost all alcohols are high in histamines, for several reasons. I buy the digestive enzyme DAO and use it for high histamine foods and I can now eat them with few difficulties. I don't drink but I have read several reviews where people taking DAO can drink again. Drinks (straight orange juice is high in histamines and gives me major problems) are highly concentrated so the more you drink the more DAO you have to take. There is no exact science as to how much DAO you take per the drinks you ingest but if you don't take enough then you are going to have the same problems. Fortunately, you can't overdose on DAO. You might want to give it a shot but my advice is to just quit drinking.
