Dude… Can you drive?? I’ve had to many french fries!
34-year-old Nick Hess of England suffers from a rare condition called auto-brewery syndrome. He has extra high levels of YEAST in his stomach . . . so when he eats food that’s high in carbs, it’s converted to alcohol.
He developed it a few years ago . . . when he noticed eating bread or fries or rice made him feel a little drunk. He couldn’t figure out what was going on for YEARS until a doctor FINALLY came up with the auto-brewery syndrome diagnosis.
We all have a little yeast in our stomachs, but he has about four times more than normal.
Auto-brewery syndrome was first discovered in Japan in the 1970s, but it’s pretty rare. Doctors believe people develop it after they use antibiotics for a long time, since those can throw off your levels of stomach bacteria.
There IS a way to live with it, at least . . . you basically have to eat like someone with diabetes and cut out most carbs and sugar.
