Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I waited until I was a year out and am a red wine drinker. I had 1 x 4oz glass and was promptly picked up off the floor after consuming my last drop. My boyfriend and I laugh because I have become a cheap date, but truth be told, I am good for 2 full glasses now (2 yrs out). That said, the first time I drank alcohol it ripped my stomach up pretty badly for about a day, but that's not to say that will happen to you. It was a special occasion for me too and I am of European decent so giving it up completely is not in my immediate future. I would say just be careful, sip slowly, and EAT FIRST. Enjoy and happy birthday! Patty H p.s. I have since switched to the occasional glass of champagne - the good stuff only. My body tells me the difference immediately if I drink cheap junk.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Dear Jenay, I DON'T THINK SO!!! You know what, a virgin bloody mary tastes just as good as a vodka one, cranberry juice in a lovely glass, looks like a wonderful wine and tastes good, a salty dog without the dog, is good too, especially for an MGB patient, if they salt the rim of the glass. Maybe after a year or so a sip of Champagne, but six 1/2 months out, who needs an ulcer or liver problems for their birthday.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 , You are so right! I had the most marvelous Virgin Bloody and Virgin Salty Dog while on vacation in San Diego! I didn't mind not having the alcohol at all and no one we were with was any the wiser that I was not taking in alcohol. I would have told them if they would have asked, but no one did. I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying this weight loss too much to worry about not having alcohol! Star Alcohol > > > Hi everybody. My birthday is in 26 days.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 At only 6 1/2 months out, you should NOT have alcohol. I know it is recomended that we don't have alcohol at all in our smaller tummies, but that is unrealistic. I drink every so often at social events, but I am 5 years out. I do not drink often, so I think every once in a while can't hurt too much. I would assume if I was having a beer after work every day that would certainly damage it. Good luck July 20, 2000 283 / 130 size 26/28 - size 4/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 What I was told and what I believe is also written in the MGB book- is that you should refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 6-12 months or until you stop losing weight rapidly- the reason being that rapid weight loss is hard on the liver and we don't want to add any additional stress by drinking alcohol. I was losing less that 10 lbs a month starting around 4 months- so an occaisional glass of wine at 6 months wasn't a problem- you really have to look at how much weight you are losing each month as well as the time since your surgery- more than being a stomach issue it is a liver issue.

One month is a very short time, and most people will not cure in that short of a time unless they are babies who have had candida for a year or less. >I am on Antifungals and all of the supplements (probiotics, > etc.) If I wanted to have a drink, could I/ The ONLY drink I ever > have is triple distilled vodka from potatoes or rye.

It is toxic, and it is also a mycotoxin (derived from fungi), and it will feed candida just like sugar. In fact the toxins excreted by candida are mostly alcohol as well. This is why so many people feel drunk when they have candida overgrowth. > Thanks a ton! You are a goldmine of info! ==>You are welcome!!

From the posts I read here, no one does. ==>You are doing great . Don't give up. The changes you are making should start to become routine and easy at some point, and not such an awful fight. Your taste buds should change over as well. Good nutritious eating should become a life-long endeavour for keeping healthy and happy. To return to the standard diet out there is pure suicide. ==>You are one of the lucky ones - you found out you have candida, but many others wake up one morning with cancer. Did you know that candida is a precursor to cancer - see the article in our files. I don't mean to scare you, but this is serious business and candida is not to be taken lightly. ==>I cured my candida totally - see Bee's Personal Candida Story in the files. I stayed a healthy diet but I got candida the 2nd time, after being cured for 18 years, when I was under unbearable stress and laxed up on my eating habits. ==>Many other people who have joined our group have attested to getting well on my candida program - see the Success Stories in our files.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 In my opinion, you can get candida under control and live a normal life. Remember we all have candida but it is the overload of candida that is the issue. But that normal life doesn't include eating masses amounts of junk, sugar, fast food etc. like I have in the past. Once you get it under control you will find out that you can have a little sugar, fruit, or bread, dairy, or wine and it doesn't affect you like before. You will find out by trial and error what you can handle. I had mine under control and could have some foods in moderation and found I didn't have the cravings for certain items ie: bread, dairy, and peanusts............but I just went crazy one week on a dairy binge and have been struggling all over again with die off........ It is stuff that isn't good for you any way. I say, if you want to have a couple of drinks at the wedding, I would choose vodka and something that doesn't have any sugar in it. That seems to be the least of any of them. Avoid wine, beer and mixed drinks with sugar. You will see how it affects you. Sometimes a big candida flare up puts everything back in the right perspective. No one bothers me anymore about what I am eating.......just takes a while.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Look at alcohol as a medicine, measure it out (I like rum or tequila so I use 1 ounce shot glasses) and stop when your dose is gone. For me, it is no more than 3 shots. I do not drink at all during the day, so 3 shots may sound like a lot but I tak it during and after dinner and get the best relief for my E that I've had all day. I don't recommend it for people, it just works for me --- nwalby <nwalby@...> wrote: > Since being diagnosed I've come to find out that > alcohol helps > tremendously, especially if it is alot. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Personally I find alcohol very damaging - I think this applies most to those of us who have chronic fatigue (from my discussions with others) I can have a sip of wine but more than half a glass in a week will bring on relapse of my fatigue more surely than a 10 mile run. I don't really mind anymore - I used to smoke too a long time ago and it was the social aspect that was the hardest for me at the time....its long gone now and I never even have a twinge of desire for a smoke. I think its useful to just observe how you fel the next day (not you in particular ) and see what effect the alcohol has on energy and mood. It might be an important link to better health for some. Kerry Re: re exercise/Foods to Avoid Q Wow, I had no idea. It's nearly impossible to eat properly, eat low carb, and low sugar, high fiber, get your vitamins naturally, and avoid the entire banned list.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 One night a week I like my wine with dinner, anywhere from 1-3 glasses. It doesn't bother me the next day unless I have a ciggarette, which I don't do anymore. I hate that miserable feeling the next day, those days are over. I hear ya.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 No, but I have to add my 75 yo father in laws experience. He has had a low thyroid his entire life. The meds have never really corrected it completely for him. However, the only symptom that he suffers from is fatigue (and the labs being off), so is not too bothered. He has always had high cholesterol in spite of a good diet and being thin. A few years ago he had heart surgery and the surgeon was amazed at how clean his arteries are. He claims his secret is a glass of red wine with dinner every night. Sherry > > I have not found much on the web about drinking a glass of wine or two > at dinner and thyroid.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 More often than not, I usually end up as the designated driver for my parents and family on social parties and family parties and I'll have a glass of wine but that's it. Plus I don't like the feeling of being drunk anyway, although I did get pretty toasted on my 30th birthday. I would say if you do decide to drink freely, make sure you're drinking a glass of water with each drink. This is what I do and I don't feel like crap the next day and I haven't had a hangover in forever. It really does work. You just have to be very careful. Have fun!
