Frothy Clear Liquid Instead Of Faeces, Stomach Pains Initially. What Could Be This?
Frothy clear/white liquid instead of faeces.
Been toilet for a number 2 about 8 times today. Only time there was any brown stuff, was the first time (today).
Stomach pains initially, though seem to have eased at present.
Diet consists of:
carbs/dairy/veg (typically)
Low alcohol consumption (though did have a heavy night last week)
Weight: 11.5 stone
Smoker: yes
Coffee intake: 3-6 mugs per day (typically)
I am aware that a full diagnosis cannot be given without examination...

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are having loose motion which are watery and frothy white, there are many causes but it seems to be infective one, bacterial or amoebic.
These loose motions cause dehydration and blood pressure falls and can affect kidneys.
Please visit hospital and get examined if dehydration is more parenteral fluid may be required.
Rice water stool is typical of Cholera, but some other kind of infection is possible and need test for cholera a hanging drop test is confirmative.
Please take ORS (Oral Rehydration Fluid) with water, butter milk, coconut water.
Please do not take alcohol as it causes more dehydration.
Smoking should be avoided,Hope this information helps you and helps to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Take care
Good Luck.
