Advice nurse thinks i have an ulcer?!
Question: Advice nurse thinks i have an ulcer?
I have no pains, just ndark poop. Not tarry at all. I had sushi a few days ago and havent had a bm until this morning, and again a few hours ago, my mom said its a dark brown- which is normal. Our bathroom is poorly lit. I have no pain, nausea, or any signs. I also had a vitamin water and eggs and a huuuge salad yesterday... should i worry?

You have no symptoms of an ulcer.
If you had an ulcer your faeces would be tarry, black.
Have severe pain.
Loss of appetite.
Nausea/vomiting. When you vomit it would be coffee ground vomit.
I think it was from what you ate.
I am not sure how any nurse could come to this ulcer conclusion UNLESS you had your faeces tested at the place in which she works.
I am a nurse and this raises no red flags for me.
