Definitely the empty stomach thing is the worst! Also anything with an additional trigger should be avoided; those would be caffeine, dairy, HFCS and carbonation. I like mint mojitos or sake or mead or liqueurs. The mint in the mojito makes me feel better (or ginger in something would help too). I cannot handle grape wines at all and wine coolers are not good either (even though not grapes). I do better with rice or honey wine. I tend to use alcohol in foods more than for drinking, but I would always go with a small amount of rum or liqueur over grape wine.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
