Gut Fermentation Syndrome

Gut Fermentation Syndrome

Gut fermentation syndrome (also called "auto-brewery syndrome) is a rare disorder in which the intestines produce ethanol from carbohydrates. If you have this disease, you're drunk all the time. At least one woman was charged with a DUI for eating too many carbs because she had "auto-brewery syndrome," and another man suffering from it will get drunk from eating just bread.
