Red wine and bowels

Didn't know where to post this and apologies for TMI

Does drinking red wine change your stool colour and cause constipation?

I drank quite a few glasses of Red on Tuesday evening, since then I've been constipated and what I do manage to pass is very dark. I've got major health anxiety and daren't google because I know I'll freak myself out.

If you have major health anxiety then posting here won’t help either.
Ensure you drink enough water and eat a healthy diet. See if it resolves. If not see your GP.

Red wine turns my poo a sort of dark greenish

It will turn it a dark colour which may last two or three days. Nothing to worry about. It will return to normal quickly.

I don't find it causes constipation, that's more likely to be due to stuff I have eaten.

Any dark-coloured food or drink will colour your poo, e.g. beetroot. You might be constipated for all sorts of reasons, but nothing you say is any cause for concern, seriously don't worry.

Thankyou for the replies.
Hopefully it will resolve itself.
