is beer good for stomach - #14030

Pihu

I am really curious about this whole idea of whether beer is good for stomach issues or not. A few weeks ago, I started having these weird stomach aches after eating, like super uncomfortable bloating and just icky feelings. My friend suggested maybe drinking beer could help since it has some kind of yeast in it that’s supposed to be good for digestion? I tried a couple of light beers during dinner and felt like it kinda eased the pain, but then the next day, I woke up with this terrible hangover – didn’t even drink that much! I’ve read some articles saying that beer is good for stomach health because of the carbonation and the fermentation process, but then I come across stuff saying alcohol could screw up your digestive system. I just don’t know who to trust! Is beer good for stomach problems, or is it gonna make everything worse? Like, should I be balancing my nights out with food or is that just a recipe for disaster? And what about those times when it seems to help, but I wake up feeling worse the next day? Confused is an understatement! Trying to figure this out before I end up in more pain or worse. Any thoughts or insights?
