How Does Alcohol Affect Crohn’s Disease?

Types of Alcohol You Can Take

There are different kinds of alcoholic drinks. The ones that do not make your symptoms get worse are the ones most suitable for drinking. Different types of alcohol include beer, red wine, white wine, vodka and so on.

Alcohol that is sugary and mixed with other kinds of drinks, causes water retention in your digestive tract and leads to diarrhoea, which is one of the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Research also shows that drinking beer results in abdominal pain in patients who have Crohn’s disease. Diarrhoea can also result from drinking beer because people tend to drink a high portion of beer.

As stated before, the best alcohol to drink is the one your body can tolerate. You have to understand your body and adjust. Your favourite alcohol might be the one that makes your symptoms get worse. It is okay to try another kind of alcohol and pick the one that doesn’t affect you.
