A member asked:

Had black stools, abdominal pain in my lower right abdomen area, lots of gas and tummy gurgling, what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Melena: Black stools usually mean that you have old blood in your stool, which is not a good thing and needs attention to make sure you don't have a potentially life-threatening ulcer developing. Get seen by someone who can test for blood and rule out other causes.
