After all, alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram (almost as much as fat, which contains 9 calories per gram). Those calories can add up after a few bottles, with about 150 calories in your typical, 12-ounce serving of 5 percent-alcohol beer. Bamforth argues that we shouldn't blame big bellies on beer.
Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) is a noninvasive imaging test that can evaluate gastrointestinal issues including Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
MRE offers several advantages: 1  It's noninvasive and generally safer and more comfortable than biopsy is. 2  It assesses the entire liver, not just the portion of liver tissue that is biopsied or imaged by other noninvasive tests.  It can detect fibrosis at an earlier stage than can other imaging methods.
