Liver Damage Symptoms

Would green watery bowel movements for the last couple of days be a symptom of damaged liver due to alcohol abuse.  Going through the beginnings of detox right now.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The diarrhea is unlikely to be due to liver failure. The diarrhea could be due to gastroenteritis, malabsorption syndromes, diverticulitis, Chron's disease, ulcerative colitis and parasitic infections. For proper evaluation, you will need to consult your primary care physician, who will do a stool analysis to determine the cause. For the chronic diarrhea, if the stool culture showed a growth it is an infective pathology otherwise non infective pathologies like inflammatory bowel diseases or growths have to be considered.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

It could be, although to establish liver damage you would have to see a physician. I know detox is beyond horrible, beyond your worst nightmare. You need support during this time. Even if you could stay in a rehab for 7 days or so....they give you Librium to help with the detox symptoms, which makes it a little easier to get through. I wish you all the good luck, and God bless. Keep me posted.
