Hello Doctor! My name is Thư, I am 19 years old. I had a laparoscopic appendectomy 5 days ago, but now I feel nauseous and have loose stools. Recently, I have only been eating porridge and drinking milk.

Hello doctor, Recently, I have been experiencing black stools that are loose and shapeless (similar to diarrhea). Especially after drinking alcohol, I often feel mild abdominal pain. Could you please tell me what condition black stools and abdominal pain after drinking alcohol might indicate? How can I prevent it? Thank you, doctor.

I don't understand why I've had loose stools for the past 4 days. Just in the morning, after drinking a glass of water, I’ve had to go to the bathroom 3 times. So, doctor, is it concerning to have dark brown loose stools?
