What causes bowel movement immediately after drinking whiskey?

Question

Hi doctor,

I always get bowel movements in the evening immediately after I drink one or two pegs of whiskey. It has been happening daily for the past 2 or 3 years. The stool floats and is dark brown in color. Last night, I got stomach pain, and my stools were very loose. I have a mild fever too, and I am now on a liquid diet. I am on Telma 80 and Acitrom as I have a clot in my right popliteal artery.

Kindly guide.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I had gone through all the data posted. As you already said about popliteal artery thrombosis, these people should not drink alcohol and stop smoking immediately. These loose stools are probably due to an imbalance in gut bacteria, and these things also happen with a pancreatic problem. So, I suggest tablet Colonise forte (Lactobacillus) one tablet in the afternoon for 7 days and syrup Actozyme two teaspoons twice a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Continue Telma (Telmisartan) and Acitrom (Acenocoumarol). Kindly keep checking PT/INR (prothrombin time/international normalised ratio) as per the doctor's advice. You need to avoid green leafy vegetables as they decrease the effect of Acitrom.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
