Red Wine

I’m wondering if drinking red wine will produce more phlegm and mucous, especially for those of us with emphysema.

  1. Hey ! Excellent question. I'd love to hear what what others in our community say, too, around drinking red wine. Hopefully some folks will chime in on this thread! -Alesandra (Team Member)

    1. Thank you Alesandra. This is very helpful and affirming. I too hope others will add to the conversation.

      1. With moderation, no. I found no negativities, but IDK to others.

        1. it does seem to for me…. In moderation it’s fine but if I have a big session with friends I get increased phlegm and mucus for 24-48 hours after.
