So um.... GROSS/TMI...? [maybe solved?]
6 years ago
Warning: mentions sickness/up-chucking/bodily waste.
So I think I may have made something with a bad ingredient all the way back on Thurs night, which lead to me puking and feeling horrible all night long. I haven't felt so hot the rest of the weekend, and while I haven't really barfed since Thurs, I've dealt with horrible chills, a fever i think?, muscle cramps/pain, being super exhausted and also a more obnoxiously high amount of headaches.... anddd random diarrhea. All symptoms of possibly salmonella, but hopefully nothing worse than that.
The main concern right now? Well once again, it's gross, but I guess my poop is like dark black. So that might mean that it's got blood in it.
I really don't want to but should I go to the doctor for this??
Or should I wait to see if it gets any better first?
ugh
TL;DR: I'm having medical issues again (no surprise there) and my poop is black and I'm wondering if i should book it to the ER or wait to see if it stays like that first.
edit: someone informed me that pepto bismol can turn stuff down there black, though I'm not sure if I should still worry since I only took 15-30 ounces of the stuff throughout a whole weekend. I'll have to see. If I'm not doing better soon I'll go to the doctor, but it could just be the medicine.

You should 100 percent take a poo ASAP and if it's still black call a doctor and baggy your black poo for a sample so they can analyze it.
