I am type 2 diabetic can pee but cannot poop. their is a burning pain in my stomach as well. I am also a female but I had Urinary tract infections before this does not feel like one. But constipation is an ongoing thing and when I do go it is really huge and black. I am belching too. What can it be?

Hello,
Long standing uncontrolled diabetes may leads to Gastroparesis where intestinal motility is decreased leads to constipation, however in your case stomach with black stools suggestive of Upper Gastrointestinal bleed probably peptic ulcer disease.
Kindly get evaluated for the same with the physician or a gastroenterologist.
