15 Foods That Make Your Depression or Anxiety Worse. If you've ever found yourself scraping the bottom of a tub of ice cream after a bad day, you already know that your emotions can influence what you eat. But what you may not realize is that what you eat can dramatically alter your mental health. Simple food choices can make the difference between feeling worse and feeling more stable, says research from a February 2015 study by Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
When you have true black diarrhea, your first concern should be internal bleeding. You need to carefully note the actual color and consistency of your stool when you are concerned about black diarrhea. The actual color of your stool is very important. Black diarrhea from internal bleeding is really black.
Your stool can actually come out in a variety of colors. For example, black poop may indicate bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, most likely the stomach.
