    as long as you don't have bright red blood in your poo than it sounds like bad gastro to me, if you can't stop vomiting or get unbearable abdominal cramps and a high fever go to the ER, you can get meds to help with that and some investigations, keep hydrated, as long as you are still weeing than you will prob just have to ride it out hydration and things like gall stones, appendicitis etc are the main concerns but you said others have had it lately too. You poor thing must be awful.

    How awful! Gastro is the worst If you're worried then give health first a call or a doctor to put your mind at ease. Did you happen to see anyone else's poo? Was it a similar colour, lol I know gross but hey it's a poo & vomit kinda thread. But if the kids were the same then probably not too much to worry about. Could be the dregs of the day before's iron maybe. I hope you feel better ASAP!

    Black poo can be a sign of a few things. Simple stuff like what you ate, to more serious stuff called malaena (old blood) caused by a small bleed. Since it's been continuous I might be tending towards the ring your GP advice.
    Hope you're feeling better soon hun.
