Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

Yes Bowel incontinence is one of the side effects of long term cocaine use.

The best solution is to consult a psychiatrist and go for deaddiction. Till then for some relief one needs to avoid liquid food and eat more of meat .

If I was a infrequent user, but did a lot one night, then in two days, after one day of not eating I had anal discharge of a yellow color, then five minutes later diarrhea is that due to cocaine use? Or common?

Brief Answer:
Could be due to gut infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

In that case it seems like Anal leakage is due to gut infection rather than Cocaine.

But still gut infection doesn't always cause anal leakage , so a contribution from cocaine use may be considered in causing anal leakage.

I would recommend a test called Stool routine to check for any gut infection if diarrhoea is still present.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
