Just to pass on what I have read and know due to my experience so that you will be alert to watching all aspects of your health on this journey with BE.
Google: Do people with Bronchiectasis have yeast infections.
My experience. I had systemic Candida after a heavy bout of antibiotics, long before I was diagnosed with BE, and wine made my yeast infection, Candida, worse.
Not saying that you have a yeast infection, not saying that you will develop one, but just be aware of the possibilities of what we can possibly, not always and not everyone, develop for one reason or another on our BE journey.
I understand the enjoyment that wine brings.

Hi Barbara, it seems we have lots of similarities. I too had a systemic yeast infection about 25 years ago. I'd get a migraine 2-3 x week. Wheat and/or sugar would "cure" the migraine--i.e. I was addicted to them. Booze of any type also triggered the headaches. I stopped eating wheat and sugar, stopped drinking, and the migraines "magically" went away.

Hi Barbara, Before my BE/MAC diagnosis, I was going to a Functional doctor and I was tested for Candida and tested positive.... I know it has been counter productive. This week, I decided to cut back, not drinking at all during the week and allowing a glass Sat and Sunday. I do enjoy it, but it isn't something I HAVE to have. My excuse has been I DESERVE a glass after a long stressful day. But I DESERVE to live a long, healthier life!!!
Thank you for tour input! I am super glad I found this group!
I did have my IDD appointment Tuesday and the doctor wants me to go on the 3 antibiotics daily vs every other day. I am meeting with the Mayo IDD via zoom this coming Tuesday.
Have a great weekend!
