Managing Drinking Alcohol with IBS

šŸ›‘ Alcohol & IBS: A Tough Combo
Alcohol can irritate your gut, making IBS flare-ups even worse.

šŸŽ‰ Social Events & Pressure
At gatherings like Thanksgiving, itā€™s tough when everyone is drinking. Feeling anxious about fitting in is normal!

šŸ¹ The Solution: Mocktails!
Embrace the trend of mocktails! Theyā€™re a tasty way to join in without the gut irritation.

šŸ’” Tips for Mocktail Lovers:

  • Avoid carbonation

  • Watch the sugar content (it can be inflammatory)

šŸ· If Your IBS is Under Control:
A 5-ounce glass of wine can be safe! Look for low FODMAP and gluten-free options.

 šŸ“ Low FODMAP Mocktail Recipe to Try:
Berry Basil Cooler

  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries)

  • 1 cup water or low FODMAP herbal tea (like peppermint)

  • Fresh basil leaves

  • Ice

Instructions:

  1. Muddle berries and basil in a glass.

  2. Add ice and pour in water/tea.

  3. Stir and enjoy!
