Losing weight

[Davidlatino]

Dear Doctor,

I had kind of stress and was afraid I had a serious disease. This started 4 weeks ago.. I made blood tests and everything came normal except the Gamma GT liver function was increased. This is because of usage of alcohol.

I stopped alcohol and was worried a lot. Got diarrhea for 3 days (6 times to the wc a day and even had little mucus in stool).

IN the period of 3 weeks I lost 3 KG's.. I was 78.5 or 79 kg and now I am 76 kg...
I am 172 cm tall and 34 years old.

Can this weight lose be the alcohol? Or stress. Or it can be something I have to take care about?

Just to be clear.. I had some days where I did not eat that much also...

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot.

Well. The weight is stable on 76 kilo gram at the morning.

Thanks for answering.

Both eliminating alcohol and adding stress can impact weight loss.  It sounds like things are a bit more stable now.  Concentrate on maintaining adequate hydration and take good care of yourself!
