A friend of a friend, not me, I swear.. :/

A "friend of a friend" complains of getting diarrhoea each time he drinks alcohol. I don't mean after a night of it, but almost immediately after taking the first drink. Is that normal. Or does this "friend of a friend" have something wrong with them?

He/you has/have the AID!!! :eek:

That would be a definite Yes.

After Hours? Really? Of all the health subforums out there?

dchris

haha quality! No he manages to make it to the jax! It actually isn't me, but trips to the pub with him on a Wednesday have been pretty crap lol He won't go any where that doesn't have " good facilities" He's a real pain in the arse ...

He drinks lager. I think he drinks a lot though, more than he tells me. I go out with him 1 day a week.

In all seriousness I was worried it could be a sign of being an alcoholic .

All alcohol or just beer?

All alcohol. He drinks wine sometimes if we go out for dinner. Am maybe 30% worried 70% intrigued as to why it happens. Maybe it is normal, but never happened to me. You thinking some kind of intolerance? I had thought that, but it is only the last year or so I recall him bringing it up, we been drinking together for about 10 years.

Perfectly normal. That's why everyone goes to the toilet quite often after "breaking the seal"

I must be lucky then. I only have to slash when I'm out. But I am a bit of a clean freak, so loo's I haven't cleaned myself don't get used ... Too much information I am sure.. But sure we are all friends here

Tell him to go to his GP.

My friend needs to go toilet before we've finished our first beer every time we drink without fail, alcohol is a laxative to some people, coffee is another.
On the other hand caffiene is a diuretic, people are complex creatures.
Once you don't have cancer you'll be fine, but, will probably need nappies if you make it to 90.

Would he not just stop drinking? I love a drink but if it gave me diarrhea every time I'd definitely quit!

Maybe its already in his bowels but the liquid (alcohol) triggers the symptons?

He should probably eat more fibre before he goes out so. I dunno though, hate to be him :pac:

I don't think it is the liquid going through him. I am presume the initial intake of alcohol is causing some kind of adverse reaction in his system and gives him diarrhoea and then it sorts itself out..

Maybe that is it, maybe he doesn't eat before going out.. I will ask him next time. I am just very inquisitive and wonder why things happen. I know it's a odd subject, but if it was me I'd defo want to know

donegal_road

simple solution, go get a full set of bloods done at the doctors, the results will include liver function, kidney function, thyroid etc. they will be able to tell your friend if everything is ok in the renal dept. Maybe he should do this sometime soon

You've clearly never tried diet coke, so full of aspartame that it's a more effective laxative than clean prep!

Whatever about alcohol intake leaving you three sheets to the wind, diet coke can leave you reeling like you've three cheeks to the toilet bowl in the space of ten minutes!

I was in a Shop one lunch time buying a sambo and asked for a bottle of coke zero or diet coke, cant remember exactly, but suddenly a South African fella who was in the queue behind me started to lecture me about Aspartame!

I'd never heard of it before then, but he proceeded to harp on for a few minutes as to how I would be better to drink the full sugar coike, as the diet stuff was full of aspartame it would cause cancer and blah blah blah .......

In the end up his wife had to tell him to shut it, and i began to see death by aspartame a kinder death than him fcuking trying to bore me to it!

Incidentally, I drink coke zero because I like it! Fcuk what sugar is in the other stuff, I prefer the Zero kind!

Should've just told him blow it out the other end! All that is mythical debunked nonsense about the cancerous risks, etc, but they use splenda now in coke zero and its not as viscous as the diet coke. I think the irony of calling it diet coke has less to do with sugar content than the fact it leaves you with a colon clean as a windsock!

Very possibly, I've heard it happen to alcoholics, but long term alcholoics. I also know people with IBS, that when the drink their stomachs in bits afterwards. Very possible he is allergic to something in the lager he drink. Get him to see a GP because it isn't normal, and he needs to get it checked out
