Avatar f tn Over time an increased acidity in the stomach will damage the mucus layer that protects the stomach linig allowing the acid to get through and eat at the stomach lining this is called a stomach ulcer... the stomach ulcer is bleeding and this is why you have blood in your stools, if you do not get this treated ASAP there is a risk of ulcer perforation which is very serious.

Avatar n tn you may have a bleeding ulcer in the stomach... the blood is black by the time you pass it.
Avatar m tn It has been 6 months and I still have some hunger type pains and nausea after I eat. A bit better but not any worse. No vomiting / high temps / blood in stool. I do have yellow stools which I assume are caused by all the tums and nexium I am taking. I have GI appointment at the end of the month. Is it possible to have a stomach ulcer for 6 months?
Avatar f tn Nausea Vomiting Loss of appetite Loss of weight Tiredness (a symptom of a bleeding ulcer) Weakness (a symptom of a bleeding ulcer) Blood in vomit or stool. When blood is in the stool, it appears tarry or black (symptom of a bleeding ulcer). The only way to be able to tell if it is an ulcer for sure is to have your Dr. run these very common tests. Doctors can perform endoscopic and x-ray examinations, as well as testing for H. pylori.
Avatar f tn no they did not test me the blood comes in mouth in morning due to ulcer in one day only now blood is not coming but green yellowish saliva come in morning i am taking my pills of ulcer and oral suspension syrup
Avatar f tn My husband has had an ulcer for 18 years. This past week, he has stopped havng the usual symptoms (acid burn, vomiting) He has also had bad stomach pains and increased stool that is black. he couldn't get in to see his regular dr, so we went to a walk in clinic. The dr there took a stool sample and said it had blood and he needed to be admitted to the hospital immediately. He refused to go, instead he waited 2 days to see his regular dr.
Avatar m tn I have bowel movement every morning with nothing out of the normal as far as stool changes. Pretty much the same every time in color and consistency. (No blood or wired colors) Have changed diet by avoiding Spicy food coffee carbonated drinks chocolate and anything that used to bother me. Gastritis, ulcer GERD ? Thanks in advance for replying.
Avatar n tn yellow stool usually indicates gallbladder issues so this whole thing might be gallbladder related (not to send you into a nervous panic but gallbladder pain is a lot like ulcers and sometimes bile reflux can end up in your stomach so that would also cause your symptoms and also cause ulcers. Again usually diagnosed with endoscope *with bile in the stomach seen* or an ultrasound/HIDA scan of gallbladder...I bet if you ate something fatty/oily you'd probably get sick right?

1072053 tn?1255438362 You'll produce antibodies to the H. pylori and those can be detected in the blood. It's a fairly standard blood test that is used extensively to detect H. pylori when an endoscopy isn't going to be done. The endoscopy would be done if the doc wanted to see the physical 'colony' of H. pylori in the stomach. It is possible to have gastritis - which feels very much like a true phyical ulceration - present without having the bacteria present.
4871739 tn?1360299939 Diagnosing Melena The black color alone is not enough to determine that it is blood that is being passed in the stool. Therefore, a doctor will need to confirm whether there is blood in your stool. This can be done in the office through a rectal exam. Or, you may be sent home with a kit to collect a small stool sample that can be sent to a lab for evaluation.
Avatar n tn d have some blood in the stool, not necessary seen with a naked eye, but with a (1) hemoccult stool test. Another test you might want to have is a (2) breath test for H. pylori - this causes ulcers and heart burn. (3) X-ray with barium (also called upper GI) may show ulcerations in duodenum or further in the small intestine. (4) Capsule endoscopy would clearly show any inflammation or ulcers. You can have tests one after one. I think you should confirm/rule out this duodenal ulcer first.
1448936 tn?1363206346 t tell them if you have an ulcer, or if there is inflammation. You can have an ulcer and no blood in your stool. Can you tell me what medication they gave you, and have you tried Tagamet?
Avatar n tn I have been experiencing blood in my stool and a slight throbbing in my lower abdomen for about the last six months. This has been going on pretty consistently during this time period. I am 30 years of age and in great health. I am in the military and have a full aviation medical exam every year. (this includes blood work) I drink plenty of water but have a diet low in fiber which I am going to correct tomorrow.
Avatar m tn hi, not sure how your medical system works but in america you have all the warning signs to see a Dr.
Avatar m tn ), maybe kefir built a thin lining over an ulcer and protect it from the acid. You might want to have a stool test for occult blood (Hemoccult). Duodenal ulcer may be diagnosed only with upper endoscopy though. That pulsation was like a muscle twitch, like a spasm which repeats few times and subsides? Or was it constant and related to heart rhythm - in this case, my only thought is abdominal aorta aneurism.
Avatar m tn I have an appointment in two weeks time to do the blood and stool test again to check if the infection is back. This morning I noticed again black spots on my stool what are the chances it can again?
548128 tn?1214716527 Last night my boyfriend called me in the bathroom, he told me to look at the blood. (when he does #2). He said that it had been going on for a couple days. I freaked out because, the water was actually red and I could see it on the toilet paper and there was blood splatter around the inside of the toilet. Then I was really freaked out when he told me that that was the LEAST it had been, that ever other time there was alot more. I really dont think this is right.
