• TITLE: A Case Study of Gut Fermentation Syndrome (Auto-Brewery) with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the Causative Organism

  AUTHORS: Barbara Cordell, Justin McCarthy

  KEYWORDS: Auto-Brewey; Yeast; Fermentation; Gut Fermentation Syndrome

  JOURNAL NAME: International Journal of Clinical Medicine, Vol.4 No.7, July 4, 2013

  ABSTRACT: 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 with a 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.
