Black Stool, Minor Abdominal Pain . Posted: 05-22-07 10:46am
I've had black stool and minor stomach
pain(like muscle pain, not nausea) the
past 2 days and I am not sure what to do
about it. I've changed my eating habits
the past few weeks (eating less and
healthier foods) and i've actually lost
around 30 lbs, but thats another story.
Anyway, i did some heavy drinking Saturday
(32 oz of liquor) and puked all night and
passed out, so it may be related to that,
since the pain has only been since then.
I'm young (18 ), obese, and have had
heartburn for a few years that I control
with Tums or other antacids. Sunday after
drinking i took 2 doses of pepto-bismal to
curb the hangover puking.
I also have been taking Allegra D 24 hr
for allergies for about 2 months and
noticed that it had made my stool light
and dark brown (kinda like a leopard),
made my breath smell bad, and urine has
changed smell and actually has the same
hint of smell as the breath (ewww).
I need to know if this is a serious matter
or if it is due to the heavy drinking.

I would think it would be gone by now if
it was due to heavey drinking. But here
are a few things I found about dark stool
. It is usually a sigin of bleeding.. How
long have you had it and is it real dark?
Blood in the stool may not always be
serious, but it should always be checked
by a physician. Any change in bowel
habits, such as color, odor, frequency, or
consistency (constipation or diarrhea)
that does not clear up within a few days
is reason to make an appointment with a
family practitioner or a
gastroenterologst.
