Stomach Issues - Black Stools, Bouts of Diarrhea, Etc.
Posted: 11-01-07 14:35pm

I would like some feed back on what I am experiencing. See if anyone else has experienced this or would know what these symptoms add up to. Sorry if I get too explicit, but more information the better, right? Anyway, for the past couple of months, I have been having bouts of diarrhea. When I get it I will have it all day long. I'll even check with my husband to see how he feels thinking we ate something bad, but he'll be fine. I also have cronic heartburn. I will get it so bad that I will make myself throw up in order to relieve the pain. It doesn't matter what I eat. I can have a peanut butter sandwhich and get heartburn. I have been checked for an ulcer and the test came back negative. My doctor prescribed me medicine which works great but I wonder if it is only masking a larger lying problem. Lately I have been getting fatiqued easily and even light headed with dizzyness. I have been checked for anemia and it also came back negative. My blood has a healthy iron count (41 points). Just today, I suddenly got really nauseated and when I went to the bathroom, my stools were black. I have been getting this for a while now off and on. Maybe I am drinking too much beer, but I just took a month off from drinking all together and was still getting these symptoms. Also, sometimes when I am getting out of bed, my stomach will cramp up like a quick stabbing pain. I also bloat up really easily even when I am not PMSing. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I do have a followup with my doctor at the end of the month. Thanks.

Hi ya,

Not sure about the diarrhea but I do know that black stool is usually something sinister. If it is truly dark dark then you should get the stool checked for blood content. If there is blood in your stool then it can be a few things - cancer, ucler (which you don't have as you said), intestinal infection....

These are the few that I am really aware about - but for sure get that checked and let us know what happens....

Can be scary when you are having pain and issues like that and now know what the culprit is!!!
