Loss Of Appetite, Dark Loose Stools. Have Alcohol Addiction. Any Help?

Hi! I am 22 years old female, Lately I am facing digestive problems. Initially I lost appetite , then after one night of excessive alcohol consumption , I got my appetite back but I have to poop after every meal and many more times which is always dark in color (Black) and I always have loose motion.
This has been going on for past one week. I have had Norflox TZ and Metrogyl for relief but have not got any. Please let me know what I can do. Thank you!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history,your digestive problem,alcohol is no solution instead it may be cause of your problem and black stool indicate bleeding from stomach.
Please visit a Physician/Gastroenterologist to examine you and investigate by stool R&M and for blood,Liver function tests, Upper GI endoscopy,Ultrasonography of abdomen with complete blood count.
Proper Antacid, PPI like pantoprazole and correction of anemia if any.
Please note Norflox Tz and Metrogyl are same group hence are not prescribed simultaneously. Please do not self treat by these medicines.
Remember not to use alcohol with these drugs as they cause reaction.
Please take care
Good Luck.
