Fecal Transplant as Treatment For Autobrewery Syndrome

Sailender09 Sep, 2020Health

Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) or gut fermentation syndrome is a condition in which ethanol is produced through endogenous fermentation by fungi or bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. The production of endogenous ethanol occurs in minute quantities as part of normal digestion, but when fermenting yeast or bacteria become pathogenic, extreme blood alcohol levels may result.
