Question 1

Accepted Answer

Stool: Black tarry stools can be a sign of upper intestinal bleeding and should be validated by your doctor

Question 2

been having constipation for 3 weeks. when stool comes out  it appears to have small dark spots everywhere . blood? rest of stool is brown,hard& soft.

Accepted Answer

How is your diet?: Have you been taking NSAIDs (aspirin, Ibuprofen etc.) if not, do you feel weak, lethargic, weight loss or not, hemorrhoids, any significan family history?.  I recommend visiting your primary doctor for evaluation of blood in stool, if its positive, have them pursue  an upper and lower endoscopy

Question 3

my bowels have been feeling irregular and backed up lately. i have been seeing blood in my stool and recently today, little black spots in brown stool?

Accepted Answer

Blood in Stool: Please consult your doctor. While bright red blood may be due to straining BMs with hemorrhoidal bleeding. Black spots in stool may represent internal bleeding in association with change in bowel habits and warrant more immediate medical attention.

Question 4

my abdomen is distended along with constant discomfort;  along with feeling extremely fatigued. now light brown stool with black spots.concerned?

Accepted Answer

NOT good if melena: Dark-colored stools may result from iron supplements, foods you eat (like a lot of spinach), substances (like peptobismol), but most significantly suggests bleeding. When blood is denatured by acid in your stomach, as from ulcers, stools will turn tarry ("melena"). Blood may also be ingested from nose bleeds, bleeding gums. Stop any nsaid's you're taking, ; call your doctor right away 4 evaluation

Question 5

passed out dark brown stool with light brown spots after taking laxatives. i have been having constipation for a long time. anus pain when i sit down.

Accepted Answer

Hydration fibers: you need to keep yourself hydrated water,juices,geterade
you need to change your eating habit ear more fruits and vegetables
you need to exercise simple walking will do it does stimulate the intestines
the pain in the anus is from the pressure the hard stool create by sitting there too long
take extra fiber supplement and stool softer if you have too
do not let a day passed without BM
good luck

Question 6

my stool is brown, but then it has black on it. last time a saw a big black spot on it what can this mean? what is it? i have been eating dried plumbs

Accepted Answer

Black spot: The black spot can represent undigested peel of the plum.

Question 7

constipated off and on for several weeks.  1st noticed small dark spots throughout and now small white spots. stool medium brown. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: abnormal. Constipation and mucus in stool may  explain both dark and light spots. Drink enough water so that your urine is watery, colorless and odorless. Increase your intake of fiber. You may wish to take a fiber laxative like Metamucil to relieve the constipation.

Question 8

my stool has blood in it sometimes and mostly there are white spots and foam in it sometimes the colour of the stool.is dark brown but only sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Speak with doctor: Would like to help but not enough information provided to offer any specific advice. The most common cause of blood in the stool is bleeding internal hemorrhoids. But there can be other causes also. If you are concerned speak with your doctor or speak with a doctor online here at Health Tap. For information on hemorrhoids see: http:///wb.md/1Jj80zo

Question 9

hi doctor ive been having white spots in my stools but most off which are brown scared of pancreatic cancer help?

Accepted Answer

A colonoscopy would: A great thing to ensure that you are not undergoing anything that you are concerned about.  I think that if you get one,  it can put your mind at ease

Question 10

lately i have had white spots in my feces.the feces is a healthy brown, but is dotted all overin white spots.it began when i started to eat raw peanuts?

Accepted Answer

OK: Sounds like you answered your own question here.  I suspect the raw peanuts are not being fully digested and that is what is in your stool.  Try stopping the raw peanuts in your diet, and see if the problem goes away.  If not, then get checked.  Best wishes.
