Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of abdominal pain and passing dark stool while having mild hernia.Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, food poisoning, irritable bowel syndrome and crohn's disease.

You should go for liver function because of dark stool . Blood can also be one of the reasons for dark stool. For now eat light and non spicy food substances. Drinking plenty of warm water through out the day will help you alot .

I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine.

You should avoid food like seafood and nuts , take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. Doctor may also recommend surgery for hernia.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
