Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Abdominal Pain After Having Alcohol
Hello, I drank a large amount of alcohol last night and this morning I ve been feeling very stomach-achy. But my lower stomach has been making an unusual amount of gurgling noise and water rushing noise today. I m worried that it might have something to do with alcohol poisoning? And I ve also completely lost my apetite.

stomach ache: absolutely normal. alcoholics stimulates gastric secretion. take solid food as crackers and drink a lot (excessive alcohol dehydrates our body).
water rushing noise: alcohol has osmotic powers and recalls water in your gut, sometimes provoking diarrhea.
lower abdomen pain: this may be due either to the diarrhea or to acute alcoholic pancreatitis. if your pain has a belt distribution (from belly going around to back) go to the ER, analyse lipasis and amylasis levels and, if raised, abdomen CT with contrast.
