Post Body

I have had some stomach issues since I got back from a vacation last Christmas in Mexico.

Lately, I've had the urge to poop even when there was barely anything to push our. The last bowel movement was about 5 minutes ago. I live in the east coast. So it's past midnight right now.

The last bowel movement seemed to have a mix of brown and outright BLACK stool. I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture, but it all looked pretty mushy (par the couse with this bowel movement).

I've had a lot of green veggies and pasta, but idk if that makes stool BLACK.

If no other symptoms arise, am I safe to go to sleep? I've heard some people say go to ER, but I don't know if that's general advice or if that accompanies other symptoms.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
