Mild Cystitis

[gness]

Knowing that many years ago I was a cystitis sufferer....now cured...a friend phoned last night for some advice.

She finds that very often, the morning after a couple of glasses of red wine, she suffers from mild cystitis. It's the only time she has these symptoms.

She can of course lay off the red with no problem but asked if I knew whether the red wine was the cause....and if so, why. I don't.

Does anyone know if red wine can cause this?

Thanks Gx

Sqad....thank you.....I may tell her you recommend switching to Guinness......xx

[anneasquith]

yes, but why ?

[gness]

Mmm...forgot that bit , Anne....wonder why it's red.....I know she can drink white.....is it something in the skin of the red grape..?

[anneasquith]

a chemical present in red but not white wine ?

[anneasquith]

does red wine make her feel more amorous ? :0
