I get very bad pain in my stomach especially after eating. It is bad enough I feel like rolling up in a ball and crying. If I have a small glass of red wine the pain dissipates enough that I hardly notice it. I tend to drink it after I eat, if the pain gets bad. If tolerable, I try not to drink. However, after dinner I will have a glass because of it lowering my blood sugar. The only way I know it lowers my blood sugar is through a glucose monitor I only had for 10 days (insurance did not approve it). I was having some wine with friends and my blood sugar really dropped. I was stunned. I went to google and it said wine in moderation lowers blood sugar, it also said wine helps some people with gastroparesis. It was nice to learn it was not my imagination. I hope this helps you. The wine helps my stomach within a few minutes. I have no more than 2 glasses per day.
