I wonder if autobrewery syndrome is less common in cultures that eat fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and kimchi.

- freitzkriesler2 2y agoProbably, it's why I eat a lot of Greek yogurt. Fermented foods keep the gut bacteria in check. This sounds like an awful disease to have. As someone who suffers from fungal problems, f*ck em. I hate fungi so much .
- Carrok 2y agoYeast (the things responsible for fermenting foods) are fungus. So if you like fermented foods, you shouldn’t hate fungi.
- nerdponx 2y agoMost fermented foods are not yeast-fermented. Alcoholic beverages are.
- zdragnar 2y agoGreek yogurt is full of lactobacillus bacteria, not fungi.
- _nalply 2y agoKefir, a food similar to yoghurt, is fungus-based fermented food. The Kefir grain contains a symbiotic culture of yeasts and lactic and acetic acid bacteria.
- vitiral 2y agohating fungi is a bit like hating your own liver or stomach. They are an absolutely fundamental component to the web of life on earth, including your own.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI'm not sure “less common" makes sense for a condition so rare it has only been seen a hundred or so times. I'm guessing there is very little fermented foods would help with. Instead, autobrewery has more to do with yeast exposure following systemic antibiotics in especially vulnerable people.
