I'm an alcoholic, I've drank heavy for the past 10 years or so (34 now), but I've had a full blood (including liver) work up about 2 years ago, all came back clean/healthy. Over the past 6 months or so I've noticed a sharp contrast to the smell of my poop. It's smelly, no doubt, but the change is in the smell.
Its sweet smelling. I know that sounds weird, but it smells sweet. My stools smell like overpowering sweetness.
Sickly sweet.
It only happens when I drink, (3-4 times a week, 12- 15 drinks per event) or the next day. I know it's drinking related, but I guess my question is: "How bad am I?" I know sweet smelling urine is a sign of diabetes, so I had my doctor run a full blood work up about 2 years ago (not because of the poop smell now, but an unrelated matter at the time (trouble peeing, especially at night)). I'm scared to ask for it again.
I realize my life choices are leading me into an early grave, but I guess my question is this:
"How ****** am I, and how bad is it?"
