It began as a simple thumb injury. Then, it spiralled into a dangerous syndrome where a man's gut essentially became a brewery fermenting its own endless alcohol supply - which is not as fun as it sounds.
His troubles began in 2011, after he completed a course of antibiotics for a thumb injury. Within one week of finishing the meds, he reported experiencing uncharacteristic personality changes, including depression, 'brain fog', aggressive behaviour, and memory loss.
I saw the headline of this article and it caught my attention with just how weird it would be to get drunk off your own "home brew" but after reading the article I realized this more of a warning for folks about the dangers of using Antibiotics than anything else.
When you go to the doctor for an illness it feels like they always give you a prescription for antibiotics whether it's necessary or not. They tell you take it a full week or two and that you may experience diarrhea or other common symptoms but they never mention that the antibiotic will destroy your gut bacteria as well.
In this article the antibiotics killed off this guys good gut bacteria and yeast moved in and complete messed up this guys digestive track. Luckily he had some smart doctors to figure it out but in my experience smart docs are hard to find. Most docs just do what the medical books tell them to do so they get paid from the insurance companies and don't investigate much further. I wonder how many other people are suffering like this because antibiotics mess them up and don't know they can fix their health problems with a good source of probiotics.
"We believe that our patient's symptoms were triggered by exposure to antibiotics, which resulted in a change in his gastrointestinal microbiome allowing fungal overgrowth," the authors explain, noting that we are only starting to recognise the complexity of this rare and probably under-diagnosed condition.
A good warning article for anyone taking antibiotics.
