Is It Safe To Drink Alcohol With Stents And Stoma In Kidney?

I have Chronns disease in my lower intestine close to the bowels and about 4 months ago i had a kidney and bladder stent placed along with a stoma to reduce swelling and keep the pathways open. I was wondering if it is safe to drink small amounts of wine and liquor having the stents and stoma in place?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Some medications can interfere with alcohol intake and cause altered functions. Please be sure to know what medications you are taking and if there are any adverse interactions between alcohol and the medications. Other that this, alcohol in small amounts is a safe drink even if you are having stents and stoma to keep kidney swelling in control. It is important to keep in mind that small amounts of alcohol means one or two drinks at most and this should be had once in a while only. Please do not drink if you cannot stop at two drinks.
