You don't drink alcohol but your liver enzymes are elevated and you have fatty liver. Your gut bacteria are producing alcohol 24/7 that's poisoning your liver. Here's how to stop it.Certain gut bacteria ferment carbohydrates into ethanol continuously. You're producing the equivalent of 1-2 drinks per day internally, causing liver damage without ever touching alcohol.Here are the 5 ways gut-produced alcohol is destroying your liver:Number 1 – Candida and certain bacteria produce ethanol from every carb you eat. Bread, pasta, fruit, even vegetables get fermented into alcohol in your gut. Your liver processes this alcohol just like if you drank it.Number 2 – The alcohol goes directly to your liver through the portal vein. Unlike drinking alcohol that gets diluted in your stomach, gut-produced alcohol goes straight to your liver at full concentration.Number 3 – It's constant exposure, not occasional. When you drink, your liver gets a break between drinks. Gut-produced alcohol is 24/7 exposure, never giving your liver time to recover.Number 4 – It causes fatty liver disease in non-drinkers. Your doctor sees fatty liver and elevated enzymes but you don't drink. They're confused because they don't know about gut-produced alcohol.Number 5 – It depletes the same nutrients as alcoholism. B vitamins, glutathione, and antioxidants get used up detoxifying the internal alcohol. You develop the same deficiencies as an alcoholic.When you kill the alcohol-producing bacteria with antifungals and eliminate the carbs feeding them, liver enzymes normalize within 8-12 weeks. Fatty liver can reverse as your liver finally gets a break.Get a comprehensive stool test to identify alcohol-producing bacteria. Eliminate sugar and reduce carbs drastically. Take antifungal herbs like caprylic acid and berberine. Support liver detox with milk thistle and NAC.Do you have fatty liver but don't drink alcohol?
