I've come to find many an article about tequila, or more specifically the good stuff (100 percent pure agave tequila), has many benefits towards healthy digestion and how one shot a day or after a meal can actually be beneficial. Has anyone here seen anything like this and been ballsy enough to ask their doctor about it? I've taken it upon myself to try it out to see if there could be any upsides with a pouch involved and so far I'm just over a week in and actually feeling better, as if my pouchitis has all but gone away.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT CONDONE THE ACT OF UNDERAGED INDIVIDUALS TRYING THIS OR EVEN THOSE WHO ARE OF AGE BUT HAVE HAD ADVERSE REACTIONS TO OTHER ALCOHOLS WITH THEIR POUCH. I'm just curious.

Not specifically tequila, but my doc was clear that I went through the operations to obtain a 'normal life' outcome so alcohol was no problem. I only really drink a small amount (maybe 2 drinks) once a week though

 

Tequila is mostly alcohol but contains a few simple sugars, can't see that causing any problems.  Not sure what health benefits you would see from it (my understanding is it helps reduce cholesterol of taken before meal, although they do say it potentially helps with digestion).  Would be interesting to know your experience though, especially if you suffer from pouchitis good luck

Well, I suppose the tequilla distillers would like you to think that their spirits are more "healthy" than others, but it does not make much sense to me. However, in general moderate alcohol intake is fine. In addition, there are studies indicating imbibers live longer than non-drinkers, but I don't know if that is a true cause and effect. If tequilla works for you, then there you go. Just remember, less is more. Drinking more than one shot a day has a definite downside.
