Wines for digestion problems

I suppose that the best thing you could do is ask your MD. Similar symptoms can be related to different problems. And even for a same problem, different approaches are possible. For example, if you are suffering IBS caused by stress, and a glass of red wine every night helps you to relax, it would help you reducing the digestive symptoms, even if alcohol is not recommended with IBS. But perhaps wine is not what you would like when you need to relax and then you will not benefit from it.

As a general advice, I would avoid alcohol when having digestive problems (and that includes beer and wine). Four pints of still water and one hour of fast walking everyday will probably help you much better.

And your fee for a consultation will be how much?

If you've got medical problems, that's what a doctor is for. If and when she recommends a wine rich in ........ then by all means come and ask us.

Château El Kasse El Zer

I think it's from the Bekaa Valley. Or try it's less famous neighbour Château Ma'al Ochs. Both are Cabernet Merlot blends, due to the extreme southern latitude they have no acidity and in fact lots of alkalinity.

Just curious. Have you tried Swedish bitters?

or Angostura Aromatic bitters?

Consulted doc for two years (including specialists). No solutions, which is why I was looking for my own. I found Rifaximin listed on prevention.com as a possible cure for my symptoms despite it not being designed for them and requested my doc put me on that. A month later I am 90% better. I'd recommend it and the Alive probiotic if anyone has similar symptoms. I feel like a new person from this. :)

I also found that specifically a dry Cabernet Merlot very quickly eased my suffering when I had the pain and bloating before I went (and during) on the short treatment course for the Rifaximin. No other type of wine seemed to do the trick and I tried quite a few.
