Allergic to alcohol?
by deirdre, Jun 08, 2001 12:00AM
First let me tell you that i am 23 years old.
Every time i drink any sort of alcholic beverage the next day i always get diarreah. It does not matter if i have one glass of wine or five beers. I drink on the weekends only usually one night. Am i allergic to alcohol? I do not have any allergies and i take celexa (only for the past year). I have been this way since my daughter was born 3 years ago. Please help! Thanks in advance.

Before you assume you are allergic to alcohol (like i did) get a stool test for parasites. Often times chronic diarrhea is caused by parasites like d. fragilis and giardia. These are treatable and curable problems. I had it done and was diagnosed with giardia lamblia. drinking will make the diarrhea worse, however. best of luck and i hope you feel better.
