I found myself here from mycology videos, I have wondered about this, sometimes I get sleepy/drunken -like from redbull after lunch or the seldom times I consume soda… understand there are many other factors.. I attribute it to being up early for work and a likely undiagnosed diabetic….
WOW the Drs think I have this!! I was hosting a family picnic on July 9 and I was feeling high , vomited and passed out. My family called 911 sent me to the hospital. I was in ther 6 days. I HATE vetables they make me vomit , I eat alot of pasta and potatoes .I no I dont eat correctly.My brother inlaw rwad an article about a lady in New York state being arrested for drunk driving and had to proof she wasnt drunk it was ABS, I begged the dr to test my blood , she had not heard about this syndrome.she tested me my blood alcohol level was 4.6 she read about it and thye where not equipped to do the glocouse test at the hospital I have to do it as an out patient ,2 days after the first test I was still in the hospital they did a second blood test it was 4.1 I believe . I have an appointment with a gastrologist FINALLY on August 10. I also had a rollover accident on March 12 they believe IF I have ABS it may have contributed to my accident, I fell asleep at the wheelI also have T.P. 53 Li-Fraumeni syndrome a unique person gets unique things I guess anyways thank you sew much for all this info, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Robin B

In Jan 2020 I had a seizure and at the ER they treated me like an alcoholic. My blood alcohol was through the roof they said. I told them I don’t drink. They referred me to a neurologist and she told me about the alcohol and sent me to a gastrologist to figure it out. I got treated and have been fine until today.. had a small seizure and my alcohol was .25 after not drinking anything and I’m back to getting treated.
I know someone that was an alcoholic so long that they even sound drunk when they are sober. Doctor say it will never change. I wonder if this could happen to people with auto brewery syndrome.
Thank you for this! I’ve got sibo sifo Candida heavy metal toxicity. I’ve been having issues with eating it makes me feel sooo messed up I hate it. Ppl at work ask if I drink or I’m drugs 😢
Oh no, that's sad to hear. Unfortunately some people automatically make these assumptions when they have no idea what the person is going through health-wise or just in general. Have you tried working with a GI registered dietitian?
This makes me wonder if people with gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying or gastric dysmotility) are more prone to this problem. I have gastroparesis, and for a very long time, I would feel like I was going to pass out about an hour after eating. I was diagnosed as having severe hypoglycemia because I miserably failed a glucose tolerance test. But this has never completely added up. Keeping my carbs low helps. Treating my SIBO and leaky gut helped. But now I’m wondering if I have Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Alcohol can cause hypoglycemia. Also, does fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, kombucha, contribute to this problem?

I’ve been accusing my parents of covert administration for the longest after I eat I feel really weird but I’m too familiar with alcohol think it’s a strong possibility I find myself dozing off in the car and I’ve had gastro problems when I drink in the recent years. Do you think it’s a possibility?

I know for a fact that I must have this syndrome. I do not drink alcohol, and sometimes I fall asleep, so dizzy that I feel like I was roofied.

Getting diagnosed is so hard
When she was going over treatments, she didn't say how long we would need to be on this diet. A week? A month? Forever?
How long til after eating does it kick in for you guys?
Im currently dealing with it. Got it right after strong antibiotics..had to figure it out myself
how drunk were u
What has helped you
If alcoholics get fatty liver....is auto brewery the reason non alcoholics get fatty liver as well?
