Alcohol IBS
Intolerance Varies An IBS sufferer's tolerance to alcohol is individual dependant. Some can take alcohol into their system very well without IBS symptoms being heightened, whereas others would have a dramatic increase in their symptom severity. This is due to the differences in food allergies from one to the other. Many IBS sufferers are either allergic to gluten products or just to wheat. As many alcohol types such as beer are made from wheat, it can cause devastating reactions in those with wheat allergies.
How to Diagnose Intolerances Find out the type of foods you are allergic to by have an alternative practitioner perform a blood test with you. It is as simple as a prick of the finger and spatting the blood on a tiny place of paper several times until the paper is spread evenly with a thin layer of blood. If in the case that you are allergic to wheat, you can still have certain types of alcohol such as vodka that is made from potato products instead of wheat. Other Cautions The other problem with alcohol is that it can help the yeast count in your gut to grow. If you have candida, drinking alcohol would not be a bright idea as it would cause your symptoms to heighten.
