Attribute points changing for no reason ???

[Mr.Jingles]

So I started to play the game recently and I'm enjoying it so far. But at times my Strength points bump up (like from 23 to 35) making it possible for me to equip some items. It lasts for some time then they drop again (forcing me to put back the items in the inventory). I'm at the point I don't even know what is my actual Strength. Is this some kind of bug or am I missing something here (abilitiy or curse or whatever makes this happen)?

Dwarven ale will boost your strength by 10 (and lower Intelligence and Agility); Food effects link[www.gamefaqs.com]

Do you have strength potions assigned to a hotkey that you could be accidentally hitting?


If you wait long enough for any food/potion/spell effects to wear off and remove all equipment with stat bonuses (or make sure to take them into account), then the sum of

strength + agility + intelligence + constitution + any unassigned stat points

should be equal to

40 + 5*(Character Level) + (+5 or -5 bonus from Shrine of Good and Evil) + (+5 or +10 stat bonus from Wishing Well, if that was the wish you made) - (1 to 4 stolen by vampire in the dark cave if you saved the boy)

(spoilers include stat modifiers available from certain quests or if you have explored past the farmlands)

Thanks I checked and apparently eating bread was the cause of the strength boost and why it didn't last long.
