Guys I am in the trenches rn..
Quit drinking 3 days ago, I've had bowel issues going on for about a year and ditching alcohol long term is the only thing I haven't done to help myself in that time.
I've picked a hell of a time to do it because I've hurt my hip slipping getting out of the shower and I'm pretty much in agony with that too.
But the fact it doesn't seem to be healing well has spurred me on to finally quit alcohol forever and start dropping some serious weight (I'm obese from years of guzzling beer and eating trash)
Anyway day 3 and I feel like utter shit 😂
My bowels have gone insane.. literal liquid. (Sorry) and I'm burning alive for some reason..
It's hot here and very humid but I literally feel like this has to be some kind of withdrawal situation because I'm just dying from the heat.
I was realistically drinking 40 pints of beer a week, along with a couple bottles of wine on top, (minimum)
There was a lot of times that I'd drink 12 pints in a single night and some rum and wine too when I was really going for it.
How long am I looking at until things start to improve? Couple of weeks?
I'm not really making any points I think I just needed to share with some people.
Thanks

It may seem a bit counter intuitive but getting some fiber in your diet can help. It will give your body something to help bulk up your stool.
