Topic Reading-Vol.2761-11/2/2019


Dear MEL Topic Readers,
No one believed him when he said he hadn't been drinking.
Had no alcohol drink whatsoever but still gotten badly drunk. That is what has been happening to a man in America. In fact, his blood-alcohol level was found to be 0.2%, about the same level after taking 10 drinks just in an hour when he was tested. This is a medical condition called gut fermentation syndrome, which occurs when yeast in the stomach causes the body to convert carbohydrates into alcohol. For example, when a person with this syndrome eats bread or pizza, he or she gets drunk. Since this syndrome is rare and not easily diagnosed, it had been regarded as a myth until recently.
Can you imagine how difficult life might be if you suffered this syndrome? Just having a bowl of cereal for breakfast and gets drunk to start a day? Fortunately, there are cures such as antifungal therapies and probiotics that help normalize the bacteria in the stomach.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this mysterious and problematic health problem.
