Patients can experience real symptoms of alcohol intoxication\u2014even when they haven\u2019t consumed alcohol\u2014often leading to years of misdiagnosis, stigma, and confusion. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research published in Nature Microbiology examining how specific gut microbes may produce ethanol inside the body and contribute to auto-brewery syndrome. Host Jacqueline Gaulin, founder of Gastro Girl, is joined by researcher and co-author Barbara Cordell to break down: \u2022 What auto-brewery syndrome is and how it affects patients \u2022 Why this condition has historically been difficult to diagnose \u2022 What new microbiome research reveals about microbial ethanol production \u2022 How this science may help validate patient experiences \u2022 What clinicians and patients should know moving forward This evidence-based, patient-focused conversation sheds light on a condition that has long been misunderstood\u2014and offers hope for clearer recognition, research, and support.   ","author_name":"The Gastro Girl Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/gastrogirl.com","html":"
