How Can Diarrhea With Black Stools Be Treated?
It seems that I have diarrhea (kind of black stools) just in the mornings....I think it started about 3 days ago. I start eating rice, dry toast, apple juice, veg juice and water. I have to say that it probably is due to grieving that I lost my friend to death last Thurs.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. I suggest you use daily probiotics.
I also recommend using over the counter option to treat diarrhoea such as Imodium.
A stool test is needed to confirm the presence of blood in the stool and take further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
