abnormal stool for last 4/6 weeks
I am an Indian male, age 42yrs. I am suffering for the last couple of weeks from abnormal stool.
it started with untimely call of evacuation leading to diaherria, & now some times semisolid, sometime watery. i have become weak & lost weight due to this.i have shown doctor & made blood, stool,& usg test which reveals nothing. i had a habbit of going to the latrin for atleast three times a day but the bowel was normal. here to add I used to consume 4/6 pegs of alchohol every day which i have now stopped (couple of weeks). & i am a regular smoker. I also suffer from acute acidity till now & hence used to take omeprazol tab.(20mg) daily in empty stomach for the last 1 yr. or so.
can any body help me? i am worried of my situation.

I'm sorry it's taken a bit to get back to you. I had to go into the hospital for some treatment. Now that you have been off of alcohol for a while, have you noticed any difference?
How much weight have you lost?
(around 6 kgs. i am now 64kgs. my height is 5' 8")
Do you need to sleep more? If so, how many more hours to feel rested?
(no, a 8 hrs sleep is ok, but due to weakness i feel sleepy all the time)
How many times a day do you have a bowel movement now?
(2 to 4 times a day)
What tests did your doctor run?
(blood: blood count, blood sugar, esr
stool: routine & culture
usg : whole abdomin )
Did they do a Celiac pannel to check for Celiac Disease? (Google it. It's an intolerance to gluten and gluten is in wheat, rye, barley, and cross-contaminated oats.)
(I am not sure.)
By used to take the pmeprazol tab, you mean you no longer do because you no longer suffer from the ailment it helped?
(i just stopped it. a week back. and acidity is worse.)
Has anyone told you if you've had any complications to daily alcohol and smoking?
( no, just thought of stopping alcohol due to the stool problem)
