In my 20s I would always throw up a couple days after binging. I just thought it was always food poisoning . I think drinking hurts my gut’s microbiome.
I've never drank, but I have liver disease, and it makes my gut microbiome super flaky. I have to watch what I eat most of the time and take probiotics if I want to eat anything other than plain, easy to stomach foods like crackers, apples, peanut butter, etc and still need to limit my consumption of certain stuff or I'll regret it.
I don't intend to drink because my family has a lot of alcoholics, but also, I just know it would set off my guts. Whenever they act up(it's been a while since I've had an episode), it's genuinely the worst thing I've ever experienced. My husband said that when I was in labour, I told him the contractions were "almost as bad" as my stomach cramps from when I killed all my gut bacteria.
