A member asked:

Back pain started mild a few days ago. diarrhea but that is fairly typical for me (no gall bladder) but a few times this week it was black. very tire?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Melena: That term means black stools. It suggests that you may be having bleeding within your intestinal tract. That, combined with the back pain, is more than sufficient reason to seek medical assistance asap. Your fatigue may well be related to anemia if you are bleeding from your gut. This is very serious. See a doctor now.
