Considerations

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for sending the question.

There is no necessary reason why drinking this beverage should caused change in your stool. This might be due to other foods in your diet. This is what we're drinking excessive amounts of this beverage.

I seriously wonder if there was something else in your diet that caused this change. It is also important to know whether or not this changing your bowel habits continues. This may signal some other type of problem. If you only had a single episode this might only be a passing phenomenon associated with some change in your diet.

of course with any food or beverage drink excessive amounts or consume excessive amounts of anything this can definitely caused strange symptoms.

Thank you again for sending your question. Please provide additional questions regarding this topic if you would like to discuss anything further.

Sincerely,

My history. I am healthy. No medical conditions. I had a tonsillectomy and a cyst removed from the right ovary. I take lorazepam and ambien as needed. I take effector and calcium daily. Over the counter ibuprofen and zantac occasionally. Major problem is drinking beer has increased to about four nights a week. Are there any connections? I have some bloating but no other symptoms except yellow stool for two weeks now. Do herbs work to stop alcohol cravings? What do you suggest?

P.S. when I turned 50, I had all my baseline preventative health testing. I had one colon polyp removed and bone scan showed less dense than expected for my age. Thank you very much!

Thanks again for the additional information.,

It sounds like you are very healthy. I think it is very important for you to seriously consider decreasing your alcohol intake. There are no herbal remedies which helped decrease cravings. Your Dr. might consider prescribing medication to help decrease some of the neurological effects of diminishing your alcohol consumption. I would strongly encourage you to sit down with your doctor to talk about a long-term plan.

Regarding energy drinksI think it would be a good idea for you to discontinue consuming these as well. There are no real health benefits of these.

I would also recommend you consider really looking at your diet and exercise regimen to make sure that you are consuming a very well balanced diet and exercising at least 3 or 4 days per week for 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time. This will help maintain good general cardiovascular fitness for you.

Thanks again for sending a question.
