HELP! black & tarry stool this morning :( :(

[GirlAfraid23]

Hello everybody,
Today is the day of my driving test, I just woke up and went to the toilet - I have been constipated for days now - only managing to pass a little at a time.
This morning I pushed out a small round tarry black stool, it was about the size of a ten pence piece and I had it on the toilet paper.
As I had just woken up, my eyes were not focused properly and i thought I could see blood in there.
I have been having abdominal pain on & off all week and today i have the pain I usually have with constipation.
Today I have enough to worry about with my driving test, this is all i need!

Was it hard or like jelly?

It is probably just because you have been so constipated, I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck with your driving test :hugs:

Constipated. I have done the Cambridge diet before...which is just protein shakes. The last thing you eat before you start it your body clings to for days..when I finally went...it was exactly how you described it. Small,very dark and hard. DON'T WORRY! Poo changes!! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST!! DRIVING IS AMAZING!!

Black and tarry stool, the type accociated with bleeding is, as my doctor described to me, "as black as as a motorway and like thick jam". I don't know how accurate he is but that might help a bit.

if it helps, everytime i've been constipated the poo that finally comes out is small and black. i think its because its just been in you so long.
