Oily, foamy stools after drinking alcohol

[mrs_mommy]

Last night I made a poor decision and a beer with dinner turned into several beers, and I ended up intoxicated. This morning I have had awful stomach cramping, my stomach is tender to the touch (the lower area), and I have been passing stools that are nothing but yellow oil, thick white foam, and what looks like little grape seeds. Should I be concerned or is this just a side effect of too much alcohol?

The last time I drank too much, the same thing happened.

I'm a 25 year old female, if that makes any difference.

I have had the same problem. I have a few pints of beer last night. I usually drink a lot now I am getting oily stools and I have cramps in my stomach and I feel stomach pain.

Should I be worried ?

The yellow oil suggests fat malabsorption which should not be occurring after a bout of drinking - intoxicated or not. something is wrong and you need to find out what it is. Call your doctor and get it checked out.

With you being so young, I would contact your doctor.  This isn't your typical diarrhea, and warrants looking into.
