A member asked:
Been feeling sick for a month now with stomach pains and had black stools any advice please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See primary care doc: Black stool can occur for various reasons, including from Pepto Bismal or iron supplements, or bleeding from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When from the GI tract (eg, bleeding ulcer), the stool tends to be sticky & foul smelling. When having stomach pain & black stool, it is important to get seen ASAP. The source of bleeding needs to be found and stopped.
