What are the treatment option?

Auto brewery syndrome can be treated. Your doctor may recommend reducing carbohydrates in your diet. Treating an underlying condition like Crohn's disease may help balance fungus in your gut.
Your doctor may prescribe antifungal medications. These drugs work to get rid of fungus infections that may be causing the problem in your gut. You might have to take the medications for three weeks or longer.


Antifungal drugs and other medications to help treat auto brewery syndrome include:

• fluconazole
• nystatin
• oral antifungal chemotherapy
• acidophilus tablets


You will need to make nutritional changes to help treat auto brewery syndrome.

While you're taking antifungal medications, follow a strict diet:

1. no sugar
2. no carbohydrates
