Black stool

[Mcarva]

Has anyone experienced black stool after consuming red wine? I’m a daily wine drinker and this weekend I also had red vermouth. This morning I had a movement that looked black. Not tarry or foul smelling but definitely on the black side. Petrified I am having internal bleeding. No other symptoms but I am convinced I am dying. I am petrified of having another movement. I did not take pepto bismol. Very scared

Hey yes I have had this many time after certain wines a marine and dark wines I’ve had black stools I spoke to my doctor he told me normal from the pigment of the wine. Don’t worry , if the black stools was something more sinister you would have other symptoms. What you’ve read I’m sure is black stools in internal bleeding. You need slot of internal bleeding to make black stools so you would feel very sick from all the blood loss.

Thank you for your reassurance. I’m trying to calm myself down. Fingers crossed it’s not internal bleeding or stomach cancer. Aside from panicking I feel good physically. I only drank white wine today. I just want this to pass
