I am having occasional diarhea: I have a normal BM soon after waking. I then have a cup of coffee and cereal with fruit. Very soon I have very soft stools. After working for 3 hours, I go to lunch. An hour later I lay down for a nap, of not more than an hour. Upon waking, I have another diareah session. For the past 8 years or so I have been consuming 8 ozs. of alcohol every evening, between 10 and midnight, or so.
