Conveniently Inconvenient Infection

[npgunner]

Wow.  "Auto-brewery" in the stomach.  Not sure if this would be super cool, or super annoying.  Making beer in your belly just by eating some pasta.

I'm coming up with a million unsavory names for what he could call his beer once he bottles and sells it..

Well, archaeologists believe that the first 'beer' humans ever brewed was made by people chewing the grains, etc. then spitting them into a container and adding water.  The yeast for the fermentation process probably came from their mouths.  Nice, huh?

 

I think there may actually be some native peoples in certain regions who still practice this method of brewing.  Makes ya thirsty just thinking about it, doesn't it?  :cheers:

I think this statement pretty much requires that you post some of them.  I have a few, as well:

 

Beer Belly Beer

 

Ol' Rotgut Organic Ale

 

Intestinal IPA

 

Colonbrau (this might be my favorite - if only my keyboard had the symbol for an umlaut)

 

 

 

You know, he could always eat apples along with the carbs and call it ...

 

Upchuck Cider (as long as Woodchuck doesn't sue him.)

I would go the other way, but I feel the microbrew market is saturated with chocolate ales already..

Well, I did a search for full text, peer-reviewed articles on auto-brewery syndrome in Proquest Central.  The first 'hit' in the list appears to be the International Journal of Clinical Medicine article about this case.  The electronic entry states that reproduction of the article in part or in whole is permitted as long as it is properly cited so here is the abstract (see the citation, below. for full publication and article info.)

 

 

Gut Fermentation Syndrome also known as Auto-Brewery Syndrome is a relatively unknown phenomenon in modern medicine. Very few articles have been written on the syndrome and most of them are anecdotal. This article presents a case study of a 61 years old male witha well documented case of Gut Fermentation Syndrome verified with glucose and carbohydrate challenges. Stool cultures demonstrated the causative organism as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The patient was treated with antifungals and a low carbohydrate diet and the syndrome resolved. Helicobacter pylori was also found and could have been a possible confounding variable although the symptoms resolved post-treatment of the S. cerevisiae.

I can just see the television commercials, now:

 

HE'S THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD...

 

"I don't always drink beer.  Sometimes I just eat a huge bowl of Cream o' Wheat and stumble back to my room to pass out.

 

Stay thirsty, my friends."

[vontar]

hmm,

 

I figured it would be possible but figured the brew rate would be to slow to have a real effect.

 

Side note. Brewers yeast is used by some people for as a vitamin or supplement.
