I had black but had water. Dehydration. Then I tried fruit juice drink and that worked. What is happening to you?

Drink plenty of fluid. But have something like soup or lentils until better. Happens but if lasts long time speak to your doctor

I'm just wondering if it is like that because I have been keeping myself in a state of heightened anxiety for a long time, about a month

Speak to your doctor he or she will be able to prescribe you something and ask doctor for psychiatrist also maybe able to tell you what is really going on

It could be! When I am really anxious? Totally messes up my gut! I read somewhere that your brain is linked to your digestive tract! If you’re off mental wise (anxious, depressed, etc) it affects your gut!

Yogurt might also help

I’m not going through anything( that I know of) but I have had bouts of constipation followed by loose, or watery stools! Last week, then it wiped me out and I called out from work! I slept all day!

Happened again last night! There are stomach bugs going around too! I would try yogurt, or fiber supplements! I’m getting some myself tomorrow! If it keeps up I would check with your Dr!

Usually when my anxiety gets high it messes with my stomach! Hope you feel better!

I have major digestive issues however, I’ve also been diagnosed with Crohns Disease. You may want to consult a gastroenterologist. Or try a probiotic. Are you experiencing pain?

No, no pain

That’s encouraging. Try a good probiotic. That should help. Stay away from anything processed.

Hi there,

Have a word with your pharmacist if you can't get hold of a doctors' appointment. Bu definitely try to get a doctor' appointment if you can.

If you haven't changed your diet in the last few days it's worth an appointment. If nothing else, it will help ease your mind.

Cheers Midori
