Effect on gastric function and symptoms of drinking wine, black tea, or schnapps with a Swiss cheese fondue: randomised controlled crossover trial

We agree to Dr. Christof Birkenmaier, there are possibilities in
increased lipid levels after ingestion of a high fat meal along with
alcohol as there is a delay in gastric emptying time. The results show
that there is faster gastric emptying when the high fat meal was taken
with water or black tea than with wine or schnapps. The gastric emptying
is slower on larger volume of alcohol. It is well known fact that the
gastric emptying time is affected by temperature of food, high fat meal.
The gastric emptying is generally delayed after ingestion of high fat
meal. The notable point here is schnapps also contain high calories and it
may affect the digestion of the Swiss cheese fondue. So we feel the
clinical relevance of cardiovascular risk is more with Swiss cheese fondue
taken along with alcohol. We feel more the GI transit time, better the
absorption of lipid due to more access to bile and enzymes. Our query is
there any enzyme induction or inhibition after alcohol intake which leads
to slower gastric emptying time of high fat meal. How black tea increases
the gastric emptying rate of Swiss Cheese Fondue? We also encourage Dr
Heinrich et al. to repeat the study to answer all the queries as the New
year Bash is approaching.
