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.
