A member asked:

I drink a lot of beer and recently my stools have turned yellow sometimes wen i go have i damaged my liver

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Beer: Your stools may change due to the high intake of alcohol which also has quite a bit of carbohydrates and even sugar. I would see your primary, have some blood work done including liver enzymes and try to reduce the alcohol intake!
