sorry for having to ask but....what colour is your poo???

[belcantavinissima]

feel free to name change!
i only ask as mine has been black for several days, and last night after a stupid amount to drink i threw up (nice) and that was black too! uggh!
tell me thats normal

sory for providing tmi btw

Black poo is often caused by blood I'm afraid

Iron tablets cause this too, are you on any?

What were you drinking?

don't know about the poo, but having gotton slightly hysterical after throwing up and it looking black I have to ask were you drinking red wine? This appeared to be the cause of my 'oh my god I'm dying' episode much to the dr's amusement

lol! no i was drinking white wine (which was obv dodgy hence me being sick ) and gin (though not in the same glass!
i remember ds2 had luminous green poo once and i thought he had some hideous disease then i worked out it was the food colouring in the cake icing. gave the surgery receptionists something to laugh about anyway!
sorry, i digress, no i'm not on any tablets.

Black poo can be caused by blood and should definitely be investigated.. I went to my GP with it once and they called an ambulance to the surgery and made me go to hospital!!

Just to rule it out - have you been eating any beetroot???

potthatinyoupipeandsmokeit (great name by the way)- no i havent eaten anything of a strange colour.

gonfishing- what did it turn out to be? and what did they do to you at hospital?

oh god i have just had a thought- could i have caused myself some damage by taking too many migraine tablets? i have had a migraine or sometimes 2 almost daily now for about 3 or 4 weeks so have been going through packs of migraleve like theres no tomorrow (though rarely more than the stated dose)

Exceeding the stated dose of pain killers can lead to bleeding from the stomach, which would make your poo black. Ring your emergency GP NOW.
