Introduction:
I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.
I can’t drink alcohol
My Current Colitis Story:
When I went to see my gastroenterologist I specifically asked about alcohol consumption.
He said alcohol and UC were not linked in anyway.
I went through a majorly tough year and divorce and my Ulcerative Colitis went sky rocketing. I also admitted myself to Rehab and quite the drinking for 4 months. My UC went away after 3 weeks.
I recently started drinking occasionally again and my UC has returned!!
Thanks for this site…I am gonna stop drinking again:)…. Just to see!
Man oh man this disease is not fun :(

Can You Drink Alcohol with Ulcerative Colitis?
All of the posts from “Annonymous UC” are from ulcerative colitis people who anonymously submitted stories or Doctor Reviews, medication, supplement reviews etc… I post all these stories to the site, but they’re different from my own personal stories so hopefully this account makes more sense:) -Adam – founder of iHaveUC.com
you can though. just stick to vodka and wine and be sure to eat before hand. NO beer. NO tequila. But vodka is even SCD approves vodka and wine.

Yo,
I seem to get on ok if I drink clear wine. I’m not on Azathioprine but
I don’t seem to do well with wine at all. I usually have to run to the bathroom after having a glass. I do better with hard liquor, but I limit myself to 1 to 2 drinks all evening. And I always make sure I eat first. Very important to do that!!
