Alcohol effects the mucosal layers of the gut, which are compromised to begin with in most IBD patients. Not to mention it is no good for your immune system, which if you are on prednisone or any other type of immunospuressant is just bad. Alcohol cause spasms in your bowels. Increases your risk for cancer, especially if your taking an anti-TNF like remicade or humira. And as your emotions can become unstable on prednisone (prednisone induced psychosis, anxiety and depression) adding alcohol to the mix is bad.
Im not anti alcohol mind you, but you asked
And medical marijuana isnt legal for some reason....
