Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 British physicians working with the gut-fermentation syndrome have tentatively concluded, based on treatment results, that the majority of cases are due to yeast overgrowth and about 20% are bacterial in origin. The symptoms include abdominal distension, carbohydrate intolerance Bacterial overgrowth here is encouraged by hypochlorhydria, sluggishness due to abnormal bowel motility, immune deficiency or by malnutrition.Gastric bacterial overgrowth increases the risk of systemic infection and can lead to intolerance to carbohydrate. Any carbohydrate ingested is fermented by bacteria and results in production of toxic waste products.Dietary sugars can be fermented to produce ethanol. saclorie@... wrote: Help me out here, Robin. How would a lack of alcohol dehydrogenase affect EtG? I'm guessing that a person lacking this enzyme would metabolize a much higher portion of alcohol to EtG. But it still fails to explain where the alcohol is coming from in a completely abstinent person. --------- Re: Re: false positive > > > > As I read these messages regarding trying to figure > out what causes positive etg I still believe I it was > nothing I ate or drank, or inhaled.
