You more than likely have a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth plus a candida overgrowth. You also may have a leaky gut…which can lead to autoimmune disease.
Alcohol causes leaky gut when you drink more than the normal amount for a woman or man.
Get to a functional medicine md for help with this. Getting a stool test to confirm the bacterial gut imbalances will be beneficial. When your gut is upset it will affect your moods. Going Paleo and getting a more healthy nutrient dense diet will help you to eliminate toxins. Alcohol depletes glutathione levels so you need to build up your glutathione stores. Get some multivitamins and mineral supplements and take them daily. Make sure there’s methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin in them. Drinking alcohol depletes all vitamins and minerals so that the body can’t detoxify itself. It all nutrient dense organically locally raised produce and meats. I drank alcohol due to having anxiety and depression and the professionals long ago just did talk therapy but didn’t address the underlying cause….gluten sensitivities and genetic polymorphisms in my liver (missing the glutathione gene and I don’t detox well through the liver). I am suffering quite a bit. Not sure if I will make it…thanks to western medicine and not finding the answers to my chronic health issues over time.
