Gut fermentation syndrome is a rare condition marked by the overproduction of yeast in the gut that turns any sugar consumed into ethanol, the primary component of alcoholic beverages. This results in a sensation of intoxication even without the recent consumption of alcohol. Symptoms include mental fog, fatigue, body aches, abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, disruptions in bowel regularity, nasal discharge, sinus pressure, and cravings for sweets. Gut fermentation syndrome can also cause individuals to suffer damage to their relationships and social status, such as being cited for appearing intoxicated.
