Alcohol consumption with RA

[Guest guest]

How does, or does alcohol consumption affect RA?

[Guest guest]

It depends on your Dr and how honest and clear one is regarding their total

" regular average " alcohol intake. I kept a food diary for 2 months and

highlighted the alcohol: 2 per month.

I am allergic to yeast so beer and wine is out. I am allowed one " shot " of the

hard stuff per month. This is my favorite time of year! I get 1oz of Apple

Pucker in warm cider this month! I'm saving that one drink for a scavenger hunt

costume party later this month!

A food diary really helped me see what I was eating (very little junk food but

lots of starchy stuff) and drinking- WAY too much tea. Keeping one of these may

help when discussing alcohol intake with your rheumy.

drink " hard liquor. " But is it okay to have a glass of wine? Just wondering.
