Replenishing the gut microbiota may be beneficial for repairing some negative effects of alcohol consumption.

“regular ingestion of two to four servings of these fermented foods can be quite beneficial. I want to make it clear, that has not been examined specifically in the context of alcohol use disorder, but because a huge component of the negative effects of alcohol use disorder are based in this gut-liver-brain axis and disruption of the gut microbiome and the inflammatory cytokines, it stands to reason that things that are well-established to improve inflammation status, in other words, reduce inflammation, such as ingesting two to four servings of low-sugar fermented foods per day, makes sense in terms of trying to repair or replenish the system.”
