Hello. 40 year old severe recovering alcoholic here and to make a long story short. Yes. It is all alcohol related. I have experienced the exact same thing over the course of 12+ years of being intoxicated almost every day. I started having severe problems several years ago with my health. Seeing blood in the stool and this and that was a normal occurrence.
My father was a chronic heavy drinker as well for about 10 years. From 50 to 60+. He was on hard liquor and ran an accounting company at the same time ( A Functioning alcoholic as they say). Weekends were worse when he totally drank himself into obliteration and could pass out anywhere.
He went for a general health check up and the blood test showed that his liver was shot. Doctor had a real hard talk with him. I think he got a severe health scare, because after that day he has not touched a drop. And he has been sober for 22+ years now. But as luck would have it, his liver generated itself. But it took over a year of total alcohol abstinence before it went back to normal.
As for myself as i said, i had blood in stool as well from time to time...Or more often and constant diarrhea from alcohol.
Now i am an alcoholic and i will be for the rest of my life. But if you are experience these symptoms after drinking then you know what is the cause. Alcohol either if it is in Beer, or Wine, or Liquor, should never be taken lightly. Because what is the difference of drinking 15 - 20 beers or drinking a bottle of vodka when the alcohol amount in your blood will still reach the same levels and do its damage. Absolutely none.
I know it was a long post and if you kept on reading this far i commend you
yep, what you describe is more likely the case(empty stomach) because the internal digestion pathway is not smeared(lined with slimy food). sure thing about not taking good longer in-between breaks from alcohol.
Alcohol triggers the bleeding for me too. (bright red blood in the toilet) If I have a couple beers, no problem. If I do shots of vodka or other liquors the problem occurs. If I lighten up on drinking alcohol and avoid doing shots everything is fine. Avoid shots of hard liquors.
Could be ulcerative Colitis. I have it and when I drink a lot of alcohol, I bleed for days. Time for you to get a colonoscopy. It might be time to stop drinking if it is.
Did you ever get bad heart burn and headaches with It too?
I know that drinking too much alcohol can develop in to certain cancer the bowel and rectum and other cancers i over done it and notice bloody stool I'm not saying you got that as my mum and sister died from bowel cancer that's why I'm getting a colonoscopy this week
It happens to me, always after drinking hard liquor and getting drunk. Bright red toilet water and blood when i wipe. Ita definitely tge alcohol.
Yeah that's alcohol withdrawals i get cold sweats all the time you need more booze or benzos would be best
Yep. My insides are shredded from years of drinking. Bloody stools are common place whenever alcohol is involved. Over endulging in really hot spicy foods and drinking lots of coffee can trigger it for me as well.
Thanks for this. I've been drinking heavily, daily, for a while now. At least five to ten nips of hundred proof vodka daily. Between that and stress over things i won't bother you with i can feel myself unravel. Never want to eat, always exhausted but trudging on. I've been trying to home detox without any luck,keep drinking once nauseas vomiting sets in. This morning i pooped blood and got scared.
