I've had "intestinal issues" for most of my adult life. I've also been drinking homebrew most of my adult life.
My doctor suggested that it was diet related. So I started a week by week experiment.
As a child, I was lactose-intolerant. I went a week with no dairy. No luck.
I went a full week with no beer. Success mad.
I went a full week with only my (unfiltered) homebrew. Bad news.
I went a full week with only commercial filtered micros. Success...OK, I can work with that.
I have filtered a couple batches for "wow" effect, but now I will be filtering almost all my beer through a 1 micron absolute filter. Hopefully, that will work out.
For the record:
Yes. I age my beer appropriately (3-4 weeks primary, sometimes shake force-carb, sometimes slow method).
No. No one else has mentioned "tummy-trouble" after drinking my beer.
