What Causes Black Stools With Abdominal Cramps?
Is black stool with relatively no out of the ordinary symptoms cause for concern? (The black stool does have an abnormally foul odor. All I ate today was Wendy's Spicy chicken and spicy nuggets, 2 Monster Energy drinks and Taco Bell (the meals were 9+ hours apart)I have anxiety at the moment due to fear of a serious condition which is the form of worry and a slight abdominal cramp (mostly discomfort).
