Hi, I spoke to a nurse advisor earlier today. I told her that I may have food poisening. Ive had diarrhea, nausea, vomit and abdominal pain (cramping) for the last two days. She said to come in if I get fever or diarrhea last more than 7 days. My diarrhea is now black. Should I be worried?
Hi. The stool getting black is an ominous sign. This indicates you are bleeding somewhere in the intestines which causes the stool black. I would advise visiting ER and get admitted immediately. You need IV fluids and antibiotics. You can not wait till fever. Many gastrointestinal infections may become severe in spite of no fever (ram negative infections).
