Accepted Answer

The combination of  severe abdominal pain and vomiting should be evaluated in the hospital emergency room. Black stool, unless due to taking peptobismol type medications, usually means intestinal bleeding in the upper intestinal or gastric area. Lower left abdominal pain may reflect diverticulitis which shouldn't cause black stools. Go to the er for evaluation and treatment.

Question 8

Loose black stools should i be worried felt nauseated at first. ate food and threw up and had abdomen pain. took some milk of magnesium relief pain some what. but then i began to have dark loose stools. seems lilke every thing i eat goes straight through

Accepted Answer

The stool colors we get really concerned about are red (blood from colon), black (blood from small intestine or stomach), or white (liver is not working well).  Other things besides blood can cause black stools such as iron, pepto-bismal, black licorice and blueberries.  Unfortunately, with your other symptoms, I do think you should give your doctor a call.  They will be able to test your stool for blood and work up your illness from there depending on the result.  Good luck!
