For the past several months I have been having very loose and yellowish/brown looking bowel movements. I have quit smoking and drinking excessive alcohol within these several months, could this be why?

A normal BM should look the same all the time. It depends on what you eat. CHanges in the usual need to be investigated by a doctor.

About the same day each day...kind of what u see a dog poo do. Loose stools is usually high in bacteria and not to ignore, esp. if it last 2 or more days! If u have the shits and only one or more sessions...u had some bacteria in Ur system that Ur body is get tin rid of...not too worry.

Yep. Alcohol will basically give you chronic diaharrea(sp?). You mention giving up excessive alcohol, why don't you ditch it all together...it will take a bit for your system to come back to normal, but soon you will have normal brown ones....

If your diet is balanced, a bowel movement should be a medium shade of brown, consistent, and stinky. It also should not hurt when you have a bowel movement.
