Beer

[Outpatient]

I was wondering if anyone has herd or knows if beer is good or bad for you. I have herd that the more hops like beers can be good for you (not referring to bud, coors etc.) And also if it bothers you stomach at all.

even 1 r 2 beers i feel like crap...i got wheat free beer before in the off license its was very gassy and expensive 2 if i were u i'd try a little bit of vodka..

I've heard that because grains don't do well with crohnies that beers are not a good idea. They do make gluten free beer, but I've never tried it, so I can't say anything from personal experience. I have heard that the more pure the drink is and less sugar in it, the better. I've had champagne and wine with no issues.

Generally I can drink a little vodka, schnapps or Bailey's. Beer alwaysdid make me too gassy (even prediagnosis). But now I stick to the very occasional 1 or 2 drinks because of the aza.

Ive completely given up alcohol for a few months as I don't want to feel ill from a hangover as Im sick of being ill! Even when I do drink it again I shall definitely be avoiding beer. Even before I started to be ill it gave me really bad d and I sure can do without that now

Beer and me are fighting. There are always old wives tales about guiness being high in iron. My old doctor (who was russian) believed Vodka could cure about anything.

oh i do love a nice ice cold bottle of corona, but then 1 bottle turns into 2 and then 3 and so on and so on, but then the next day is hell for me - constant toilet trips and stomach pain so recently i stick to vodka or a good old pint of the black stuff - GUINNESS. Lovely stuff.

dark rum and coke goes down well too, but if i have more than say 3 beers, then i pay for it the next day, but everyones different i suppose.

I generally don't have a problem when I drink beer except that I think I probably burp way more than the average beer drinker. Admittedly, I rarely drink more than two.

On the other hand, a few times a year I fall head first into an entire bottle of vodka and am perfectly fine.

There is a gluten free beer you can buy in Canada, I am not sure if its aval. in the US or else where called MESSAGERE. Its good. I don't drink often, and when I do its only 1-2 drinks of wine or a beer.

Isnt american beer just water anyway I used to drink ale and whisky but that kills me after an hr or so. I can tolerate a corona or two but still feel the effects. Stick to vodka and wine nowadays and it has helped loads (tequila is fine as well)

I think this is another thing that's different for everyone. I have a friend who has Crohn's and he can handle beer without any problems but liquor really gets to him. When I'm in remission, drinking never bothered me.
