Dark stools are usually due to iron intake not melena at this age. Depends on the severity of the sx or if not sure, see md.

Question 2

82 year old man vomiting black liquid and diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

Black liquid in vomit and diarrhea is usually digested blood. (Iron and peptobismol can also turn stool black, but doesn't cause diarrhea.) He needs to be seen in the ER immediately!

Question 3

What could it mean when i am throwing up black vomit, having black diarrhea, and my intestines are swollen? intestines are hard to the touch

Accepted Answer

I hope you are better by now. Sorry it took so long to respond. Black vomit suggests bleeding in the stomach or just below the stomach. Abdominal pain plus the vomiting do make me concern about a bleeding ulcer or serious inflammation in your stomach. If you are have symptoms at this time, visit an emergency room or urgent care center to get checked out.

Question 4

18mo son has diarrhea today, he vomited about 1 hour ago, and now a diarrhea diaper with a (single) long black fibrous bit in it. ?

Accepted Answer

There is a possibility of a viral infection - stomach flu. This is also know as gastroenteritis. This is usually self limited and will resolve in 2-3 days with fluids such as pedialyte. The dark fibrous bit could be something that he ate. I would monitor his bowel movements and see if the dark fibrous bit recurs. If so, I would consider evaluation by the pediatrician.

Question 5

Have been vomiting and some of it has been black also had some diarrhea which also has been black?

Accepted Answer

You may have GI bleed , needs to be seen by gastroenterologist. Mostly you have upper GI bleed causing blood in vomiting and subsequent causing black stool which is blood from stomach goes in intestine and become black. See doctor.

Question 6

My 2 year old was vomiting and now has diarrhea with black flakes. what could that be?

Accepted Answer

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 stomach, as from ulcers, stools will turn tarry ("melena"). Blood may also be ingested from nose bleeds, bleeding gums, MW tears. Persistent melena (without obvious cause) & symptoms warrants eval.

Question 9

Hi yes, im contacting in regards of my friend, shes currently having symptoms of stomach ache, cramps, diarrhea,  nausea, vomiting and dizziness we think it may be foods poisoning? her stool is also a dark black. any idea what it could be?

Accepted Answer

“Dark black” stool indicates gastrointestinal bleeding, and her other symptoms suggest it is severe. This could be dangerous. Get her to urgent care or an emergency room immediately! If she is confused or faints or lightheaded when she sits or stands, call 911. Good luck to her.

Question 10

My husband ate pork ribs for dinner last nite. at 1 am woke up with diarrhea with cold sweats and at about 10am vomiting black tarry substance.

Accepted Answer

Any time someone vomits dark/black substance that appears like coffee grounds that they did not ingest -  it suggests they are vomiting digested blood usually from bleeding in the stomach.  Black tarry stools that are loose suggest severe bleeding in bowel tract.  This is an emergency.  Get to the doctor.
