In drunk mood but had no alcohol - irrational behaviour

Search Auto Brewery Syndrome on Google. I just watched a show on this. Your intestines turn carbohydrates into alcohol.

It sounds like you may have "autobrewery syndrome" if it is this then you need to eliminate yeast from your diet ! Best of luck ! Hope you have a speedy recovery

Could be Auto Brewery syndrome. Get a comprehensive stool test. You probably have very high yeast percentage in the bowel. This is would act like a brewery. Causes you to have drunk symtoms. Probably very sick stomach and vomiting along with acting drunk. Check it out.

Hello to all..I have been watching TLC's show, Diagnose Me-Too Loud to Live....for whatever reason I decided to Google one of the issues which was acting drunk when not drunk the MD ran a comprehensive stool test (he saw MULTIPLE doctors!!) The stool test showed he had 400% MORE yeast in his GI Tract causing fermentation hence bouts of drunkeness..the dx is AUTOBREWERY SYNDROME--VERY rare!! I wish u all luck...please seek medical help immediately!!! His case may NOT be your case but it's a start.

my husband has the symptoms and has sleep apnea

My gf has the same thing. First it was anxiety disorder, pain disorder from a slipped disk, and now they're saying that her spinal cord may be damaged from more vertebrate damage and is cutting off circulation to the left side of her brain. I am at my wits end. This has been bad for the last year and a half of our six years. I can't take it anymore. She has no one to turn to. Her family can't deal with her episodes. I need to place her somewhere but where? Does the state help? I will do what I can, but it's hard having someone screaming at you daily.

I have a similar problem with my gf for 6 months. As good as every night when we aren't with each other (we don't live together) she gets into this pissed mood where she won't answer the phone or call me back. Also when we have a deal about talking at a certain time, she often disrespects that deal, and when she finally picks up one or two hours after we were supposed to talk, she is mad and irritable and talks with a slurry/drunken voice, even though she asure me she hasn't been drinking. She always blames me for "wanting things my way"and hangs up when I get upset, when all I want is a respectful behaviour and a normal gf who corresponds with appointments.

I know that it COULD be due to her drinking - like another poster in this thread busted her wife that way - but she asures me that she hasn't. I know a lot here will say "Well, if it happens every night when you aren't together, don't you think she's lying and simply have a couple of drinks?" But I have talked it over with her and she asures that she admits when she have had a beer or two. That's why I googled "acting drunk without drinking" and ended up here. Because I really do believe her when she says she hasn't been drinking. Besides that, she's not acting mean when we have a couple of beers/drinks when we are together, and that's what triggered me into thinking that there must be something wrong.

The ABS sound legit (if she's not lying.) I will ask her to have a check on that account.

My wife had all these symptoms everyone listed here - appearing drunk, but not drinking. Same as you all, I've been trying to find answers for several months, and she's been for tests, no luck. Tonight I've seen something that gave me hope - she had problems with candida overgrowth about 10 years ago, but overcame it. I think she's experiencing a similar syndrome: auto-brewery syndrome or gut fermentation. I am so hopeful now - perhaps this is an answer for some of you too! Google it. Good luck!!!

Autobrewery syndrome. It has to do with your body and yeast content stored in the body. Things a person eats who has this turns certain foods into alcohol and they can actually become intoxicated without consuming alcohol.

My wife has had these 'episodes' for around 4 to 5 years. As first I suspected her of drinking during the day while I was out at work but she returned to working as a teaching assistant and my job changed to coincide with her working hours so I can be absolutely sure it isn't that. Also some days when I'm with her all day and there's been no alcohol they start. I always know when these are starting and so does our 19 year old son and our 14 year old daughter. First she becomes agitated and the slurring starts. My son and daughter look at me in a certain way and I just nod and we leave her alone as if we mention it she is in complete denial and becomes aggressive, insisting she is ok. Then the repetitive telling us things and asking questions a dozen times kicks in. Her eyes go red and half closed. I'm so very glad I found these posts as I thought this was quite unique, and have questioned myself if I'm over reacting, although I feel for so many others who are living with loved ones who experience this same irrational behaviour. She is in the middle of one of these attacks now. The slurring started, the oven was left on, (she insists she turned it off after cooking), my son has tried to explain numerous times that he is on a works night out on Saturday night - she's asked him six times in a row what night he's going out, she's left half of her meal, is now criticising the TV program thats on, eyes red, half closed, pretty soon she'll be asleep. It's always the same pattern. Sometimes it degenerates into a family argument. The kids get frustrated with her, I get frustrated although try to keep the peace but she is in complete denial. She went to the doctors once after I made her an appointment and just about had to drag her there. She saw a neurologist, had MRI's, CAT scans, and nothing was found. They did tell her to go back to our GP but it's always 'I'll go next week'. I appreciate that she may be scared but she doesn't appreciated the effect it has on me and the kids who both go up to their rooms rather than stay around her. That makes me feel sad that they feel it's best to do that. I played guitar in a band but gave it up last year as she sometimes had episodes on nights when I had a rehearsal and I returned home to her being asleep and the kids upset after an argument had broken out. She's accused me of having an affair, the next day she didn't remember I constantly, obviously like the others on here, wonder what she's going to be like when I arrive home. I hope someone finds out what this is soon.

I watched this medical show that had that on there the only thing I can't remember the shoe orcrhr disease.

I think the show was named diagnose me, not forsure though.

This is exactly what has been happening to me! My whole family thinks I've been drinking though I know damned well I haven't been. We thought maybe it was my anti depressants, but even after stopping them it still happens. I don't know what to do. The constant accusations and mistrust are causing me to withdraw further and further from the world. I get afraid to show any emotion in case it's misread. Help! I can't live like this much longer. My family is trying to be supportive, but after every episode I can see the doubt.

A few things that can cause this:

- psychotic episode
- dissociation
- diabetes
- partial seizure
- medication side-affects
- allergy
- sleep problems

My twin brother is as you have described EXACTLY. It is called psychosis, and can be triggered by stress, alcohol, or drug abuse. His mind slips, his coordination disappears, slurring, paranoia, agitated and impulsive, no memory and sometimes extreme anger. He is medicated with lithium which has helped a lot however if he so much looks at a bottle he will have a psychotic episode almost guaranteed.
