I've been out to pubs with friends for drinks about a few times since being diagnosed and each time, usually after the first pint, had a crampy pains on the bottom left side of my stomach.

Today, I finally made the connection and tied that pain together with previous pub visits and am sure it's entirely from the beer. I think I have to give it up.
That RRRRRRRRRGMG.
First world problems...
If you can transition to primarily red wine you won't regret it. I drink beer every once in a while but my system seems to handle the vino better and my waist line thanked me too.
