Does a special diet help recovery in the early months?
Yes. Normal nutritional information doesn’t necessarily cover all the problems recovering alcoholics face. Doctor Bob from A.A. spent time studying alcoholism and vitamin B deficiency. He suggested alcoholics tended to have low levels of vitamin B and may have an absorption problem. He questioned the use of brewer’s yeast as a source of the B vitamins for an alcoholic because of a possible allergy problem. He linked it to depression problems. His work was done independent of his A.A. affiliation. Check Katherine Ketcham’s work for nutritional information.
