go doctors!!!
tell him.. he won’t laugh at you… he will check you out.. stick his thing up your a rse.. then say what he has to say
maybe give you some sort of medication or he may just say, its normal…
yeah but the doctors arent open now until monday…i may be a gonner by then if im bleeding inside eeeek
Phone NHS 24, prob nothing to worry about but better safe than sorry.
Hope you’re feeling better soon
lucky can pull some strings for you…
I had black poo poos after christmas and self diagnosed on the net. it was too much mint sauce and lashings of red wine.
What have you eaten?
Are you feeling ok… apart from that?
An overdose of iron can also cause it (either end)… too much red meat, iron enriched food/drink.. what were you drinking?
yeah i dont have any other ill effects, i didnt eat anything red and i drank white wine, so its still a mystery :?
wierd isnt it? I suppose as long as the rest of you is fine it is nothing to worry about. And as long as you never brought up any blood there is no actual internal damage. Take care!
“Black” vomit is usually a sign that there is blood in the upper end of your GI tract – stomach to you. If it comes out the other end (as tarry stools) then the bleeding is generally lower down.
Whereabouts it is depends on the consistency of the black stuff in the vomit. If it is like coffee granules it is slightly further down (and has been digested a bit more) and if it is like sludge it is at the top end.
Most times this indicates a perforated gastric ulcer or something similar. It is unlikely to be anything you ate – unless you did a vampire impression last night and drank a cupful or two of blood.
Best thing is to get to the quack ASAP. If you have stomach cramps or if it happens again over the weekend – zip off to your local A&E.
BTW take a good book ‘cos you’ll be waiting for hours.
so it IS serious then huh? My errr stools :oops: are fine. I’ve not been sick again since, and i feel ok, i’ll wait and see what happens :shock:
do you want me to check it out for you..?
