Question 1

my urine smells like onions after i drink alcohol, and my stool has been green lately. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, maybe not: Stool changes can be due to the foods (or drinks) eaten, to medication effects, to stomach flu or other infections, to gall bladder problems, etc...  One can try stopping the alcohol, and eating a bland, balanced diet (but not over eat) to see if the symptoms go away in a couple of days. If not quickly back to normal, a primary care doctor can evaluate to see what the problem might be.

Question 2

Question 3

anytime i drink alcohol, even just a glass of wine, i find blood in my poop the next day.  should i be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You need to be concerned about stomach irritation by the alcohol which can cause bleeding. The irritation can be severe enough to lead to an ulcer(s). It may be a coincidence since only a lot of bleeding and a fast transit time through the colon can lead to bright red blood from the stomach to the stool.

Question 4

why is it that when i drink alcohol the smell comes out my pores and what can i do to prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Oh that smell: That acetone smell.  Well you can stop metabolizing the alcohol you drink- but that would mean being dead or just not drinking.

Question 5

when you drink alcohol will your urine smell strong?

Accepted Answer

It should not.: Urine should smell differently from alcohol.

Question 6

hi every time i drink alcohol with food or eat before going to sleep seems like i stop digesting , rotten smell when burping then need to vomit?

Accepted Answer

You have to stop: Standard reflux precautions include staying upright after eating, avoid eating heavy meal, smoking and allcohol.

Question 7

whenever i drink alcohol, the opening of my urethra and anus tingle like they were used or played with? what does this mean medically?

Accepted Answer

Uncommon: There is no clear medical explanation that I'm aware of other than possibly some conditioned/ memory response.   In Chinese medicine it might imply that the alcohol is influencing your Liver Yin channel.

Question 8

whenever i drink alcohol the liver area starts to hurt also my stool turns very dark. this lasts for 2 days then it disappears. is this liver disease?

Accepted Answer

Not: Sure. Similar history has been given by people with gastritis or those with complications of cirrhosis and who have GI varices. Abstinence till full ealuation is important. The dark likely represent GI bleeding

Question 9

not everytime but most occasions when i drink alcohol i get a pain in my stomach, i can't really describe the pain, it' makes it feel better when i sit on my all fours, and also the pain goes when i have a poo and a drink a glass of water what is this?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis: You probably have inflammation of the stomach. You should refrain from  irritant foods and drinks like alcohol at least until your stomach heals

Question 10

i started suffering from red blood on my stool coupled with pinkish urine. i drink alcohol but dont smoke and have a previous history of breast and colon cancer in both of my grandparents. i also have ehlers danlos syndrome but dont suffer with it.

Accepted Answer

Blood/fecal: Difficult without more history, but blood externally on stool is usually due to small tears in the lining of the colon/rectum and is common with constipation. Breast and colon cancers usually do not produce external blood on the stool, but it would be wise to get a colonoscopy or a FIT test to ease concern.  Pinkish urine can come with a urinary tract infection, but not from breast/colon disease.
