If 200 people presented with alcohol intoxication and no history of use, 199 would be secret alcoholics sneaking booze, and maybe 1 would be someone with this condition. The previous case I read about, they forced the poor guy to inpatient for weeks to rule out alcohol use. It's not just 'doctors don't believe women' it's 'doctors don't believe (probable) addicts'.
- roxya 2y agoYeah, as a man nobody would believe me either. I was in hospital with acute pancreatitis and they found at the same time I had a fatty liver. Both are often explained by heavy alcohol intake. The truth is I hardly drank at all (I had perhaps had a single bottle of beer in the whole previous 12 months) but nobody would believe me. I ended up being told to never drink alcohol again.
- rvnx 2y agoDid you find a solution eventually ?
- roxya 2y agoNot really. Since then I've been unable to eat bananas due to a severe bloated feeling (even a tiny bite causes it), and I found a Japanese research paper about a banana allergy inducing acute pancreatitis. But I don't know for sure if it's linked. I've continued to drink alcohol in moderation for another 15 years+ without issue.
