Alcohol intolerance and myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome<\/a>, by Jessica Maciuch, Leonard A Jason in<\/span> World J Neurol<\/em>. May 31, 2023; 9(3): 17-27\u00a0 [doi: 10.5316\/wjn.v9.i3.17]<\/p>\n

Research abstract:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BACKGROUND<\/p>\n

The literature is mixed about the occurrence of alcohol intolerance among patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis\/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS). Surveys that asked respondents with ME\/CFS whether they experienced alcohol intolerance within a recent time frame might produce inaccurate results because respondents may indicate that the symptom was not present if they avoid alcohol due to alcohol intolerance.<\/p>\n

AIM<\/p>\n

To overcome this methodologic problem, participants in the current study were asked whether they have avoided alcohol in the past 6 mo, and if they had, how severe their alcohol intolerance would be if they were to drink alcohol.<\/p>\n

METHODS<\/p>\n

The instrument used was a validated scale called the DePaul symptom questionnaire<\/a>. Independent t-tests<\/a> were performed among the alcohol intolerant or not alcohol intolerant group. The alcohol intolerant group had 208 participants, and the not alcohol intolerant group had 96 participants.<\/p>\n

RESULTS<\/p>\n

Using specially designed questions to properly identify those with alcohol intolerance, those who experienced alcohol intolerance vs those who did not experience alcohol intolerance experienced more frequent\/severe symptoms and domains.<\/p>\n

In addition, using a multiple regression analysis<\/a>, the orthostatic intolerance symptom domain was related to alcohol intolerance.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/p>\n

The findings from the current study indicated that those with ME\/CFS are more likely to experience alcohol intolerance. In addition, those with this symptom have more overall symptoms than those without alcohol intolerance.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
