Sorry, TMI, But I’m Scared

Recommended Posts

My stomach was hurting and I went to the bathroom, and as I got up and went to flush I saw that there were these weird black specks in my stool. There weren’t a whole bunch of them, but enough to scare me. Black stool is not a good sign, I know this, and I’m also having stomach pain. There are a lot of viruses going around, too, I know. My mom seems to have caught one herself, her stomach has been hurting as well today. I still can’t shake the fear that something could be really wrong, this is the first time this has happened.

I know that seeds sometimes show up in stool, and lately I’ve been eating a lot of sunflower and pumpkin seeds, so could that be it? I really hope that’s all it is. I am shaking right now I’m scared that something is really wrong with me. I already have so much going on I can’t take anything else being wrong :( I’m close to tears!

If your stool was actually black the whole thing would be black. It also would smell terrible

As @utrocket09 said, blood would make the entire stool black. There is no mistaking it. It is likely something you ate, flecks are always something you ate.

I’ve seen flecks from something as simple as spaghetti sauce. I don’t think this is something for you to need to be concerned about.

Thank you, guys, I feel better now :) I admit I think I overreacted a bit when I made this post, I’m sorry.
