What Causes Black Watery Diarrhea And Stomach Cramps?
My husband has been complaining of headache, light headedness, stomache cramping, nausea, and has black, watery diarrhea. He is stubborn but I am nervous about a possible bleed. This will be day three of symptoms. He has also recently been handling pigs.

Hello,
It is the most possible intestine infection through some sort of bacteria or the virus which may be ingested via contaminated food, liquids, or uncleaned hands. In our clinic, we suggest basic lab tests with stool microscopy, WBC counts, and manages with precise GI antibiotics (intravenous or oral) probiotics and supportive care to recover faster.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
