What Causes Watery Stools And Abdominal Pain After Quitting Alcohol?
Not able to type but I quit alcohol recently it has been 5 days almost but now waterly stool pain and wryness causing to me yesterday I ate the food outside which was not looking good, now I am confused, what s causing this illness to me. Please help...
I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, 5 days and the acute alcohol withdrawal is winding down. There are a lot of causes of diarrhea and a gut that doesn't absorb food produces oily or frothy diarrhea. This is a risk with alcohol due to liver and pancreas damage. the chronic diarrhea is not a good thing and can cause serious problems in the short run (electrolytes and dehydration) and in the long run (malnutrition) and will have to labs run for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
