The Effects of Red Wine on Digestion and What Could be Learned

So I’ve been dealing with digestive issues for a long time and despite many tests, visits to the GP and consultant, I’ve never been able to find a root cause. My symptoms have gotten progressively worse over the years, and, most frustrating of all, the stricter my diet and the more I stayed hydrated, is when I seemed to have the worst symptoms - pale, bulky, loose stools with a strong odour that were hard to pass and impossible to empty completely no matter what I tried.

Last week I indulged and some red wine with a meal that I thought indefinitely shouldn’t have been eating, but things were going to be bad either way so why not. The next morning however, to my amazement, I had the healthiest movement that I’ve had in years and honestly didn’t think was possible anymore. Even more bizarrely to me, this wasn’t just a once off, I’ve had a glass - glass and a half everyday since and my bowel movements have been regular, solid, a healthy colour and has given me a new lease of life.

Of course this is not a sustainable fix but there’s no denying it’s at least working for me, for now. I did some reading and it looks like it’s due to the anti-inflammatory properties of Revseratrol. A typical glass of red wine has only a couple of milligrams of this compound compared to 250/500 in concentrated supplements so I’ve ordered some to see what if any effect they have.

My question is, has anyone else noticed this improvement with red wine and have you then tried Revseratrol supplements and did they have any impact?
